Leg and Foot Pain

from Vascular Disease

 Many people develop a condition of hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis, which can ultimately result in lower extremity pain, especially after walking short distances. Vascular surgeons who are highly skilled at replacing or cleaning out these diseased vessels are able to re-open them to reestablish blood flow and relieve much of the pain.
      Very small, microscopic vessels can undergo the same changes which may cause the painful condition to recur. These vessels cannot be bypassed or cleaned out because of their size. They can, however, be improved by using special types of nerve blocks and other therapies to relax their walls, thereby allowing more normal blood flow and ultimately improved pain relief and rehabilitation.
       The physicians at Trinity Pain Medicine Associates have many years experience in treating this type of condition and are also networked with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy centers to offer enhanced healing times and avoid permanent tissue damage.
