  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): The Tip of the Iceberg

    PAD, or peripheral arterial disease, is a fairly common medical condition that is caused by reduced blood flow to the legs and feet. This reduced blood flow is a result of partial or complete blockages of the arteries that act as "pipes" carrying oxygen and other nutrients to the legs and feet. The legs and feet need this oxygen to stay alive and to function (for ex: walking). Because these blocked "pipes" cannot carry oxygen efficiently, the legs don’t function as well, which causes pain while walking. If the blockages are severe and numerous enough, this reduction of blood flow may result in tissue death (gangrene).
