Vascular disease affects the network of blood vessels that carry blood throughout the body. When circulation is disrupted, it can lead to pain, swelling, and serious complications. At Advanced Health Associates, our experienced team provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of vascular conditions to protect your long-term health. Call today or request an appointment online for expert vascular care.
Vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels. These conditions can restrict blood flow, weaken blood vessel walls, or cause inflammation. Early detection is essential because untreated vascular issues can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or limb complications.
Common vascular conditions include:
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
Carotid artery disease
Aneurysms
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Chronic venous insufficiency
Varicose and spider veins
Lymphedema
Each condition affects circulation differently and may require specialized treatment.
Vascular disease may present with:
Leg pain, cramping, or heaviness
Swelling in the legs or feet
Skin discoloration or ulcers
Coldness or numbness in the limbs
Weak or absent pulses
Varicose or bulging veins
Slow wound healing
Sudden dizziness, vision issues, or speech changes (carotid artery disease warning signs)
Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a smoking history are at higher risk.
At Advanced Health Associates, diagnosis may include:
Vascular ultrasound to assess blood flow
Ankle-brachial index (ABI) to evaluate circulation in the legs
Blood tests for cholesterol and inflammation
CT or MRI imaging, when needed
Physical exam and detailed medical history
These tests help identify blockage, narrowing, or weakening of blood vessels.
Treatment depends on the specific condition and severity but may include:
Lifestyle modifications such as exercise, diet changes, and smoking cessation
Medications to improve circulation, control blood pressure, or prevent clots
Minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or ablation therapy
Vein treatments such as sclerotherapy or endovenous laser therapy
Compression therapy for chronic venous insufficiency
Your provider develops a personalized treatment plan to restore circulation and prevent complications.
