If your legs feel numb and cold, it might be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD). While healthy lifestyle changes, like increased exercise, a wholesome diet and quitting smoking, can help with your condition, a physician can help you experience faster and more effective relief from numb and cold sensations in your legs.
United Vein & Vascular Centers offers PAD treatment, enabling you to enjoy improved blood circulation and a better quality of life.
Why Are My Legs Always Cold and Numb?
Cold extremities might be a symptom of various health conditions. If your leg feels cold but not to the touch, you might struggle with peripheral neuropathy. While this condition affects your nerves, PAD is a result of plaque buildup. When fatty deposits build up in the walls of arteries in your legs, it restricts blood from flowing to your limbs, possibly resulting in a cold feeling.
People with PAD might also experience a feeling of numbness in their limbs when they are at rest. When you are lying down, gravity no longer helps that much with blood supply. Blood supplies oxygen and nutrients to your legs, and with insufficient amounts, you might experience numbness. Leg numbness is often associated with a tingling feeling or a “pins and needles” sensation. You might also struggle to feel pain in numb legs.
Treat PAD at United Vein & Vascular Centers
United Vein & Vascular Centers offers surgical and nonsurgical treatment for PAD. Our compassionate, board-certified surgeons can perform the following procedures to enhance your blood flow and combat numb and cold legs:
- Angioplasty: This minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure opens and widens clogged and narrow arteries with a balloon-tipped catheter. When the balloon inflates in the blood vessel, it presses against the wall, stretching the artery to increase blood flow.
- Atherectomy: This minimally invasive surgical treatment removes plaque from blood vessels with a laser-tipped catheter. Your surgeon will use a special dye to locate artery buildup and then remove it with the laser.
