How far can you walk without leg pain? If it's less than you used to, then PAD could be the problem!
Millions of people across the country are walking less than they used to because of leg pain. This leg pain can be caused by PLAQUE BUILD-UP inside the arteries of the leg, a condition called Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). If left untreated, PAD can lead to amputation and is associated with a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.
TREATMENT
New treatment options can remove the plaque and restore normal blood flow to help alleviate leg pain.
