On a regular basis in our practice, myself, and the other 2 physicians encounter lower extremity vascular insufficiency (problems with the circulation).
We see people with chronic swelling of the legs/and or feet, wounds of the legs and feet, discoloration and ulcerations.
Another problem can be absent pulses on the feet (yes, you can feel your pulses in your feet and ankles:))
In our offices we have a machine that can evalute your vascular system to see if there are any problems such as blockages, decreased blood flow or even of there is no blood flow.
This test can be done in the office for most people and is relatively painless.
We also work very closely with vascular physicians who can help if there is any problem with your vascular system in your legs.
