Vascular Assessments

Vascular Assessment Services at Podiatry Medic

At Podiatry Medic, we prioritize the vascular health of your lower extremities, recognizing its critical role in overall foot function and well-being. Our comprehensive vascular assessments are designed to detect and manage conditions such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), ensuring timely intervention and optimal care.

Understanding Vascular Assessments

A vascular assessment involves a thorough examination of the blood flow in your legs and feet. This process is essential for identifying circulatory issues that may lead to complications like ulcers, infections, or, in severe cases, amputations. Early detection through vascular assessments allows for prompt management, significantly improving patient outcomes.

Our Assessment Process

Our vascular assessment includes the following components:

1. Medical History Review: We begin by discussing your medical history, focusing on risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, hypertension, and family history of vascular diseases.

2. Physical Examination: This involves inspecting the skin for color changes, ulcers, or other abnormalities, and palpating pulses in the feet and ankles to assess blood flow.

3. Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI): We measure and compare the blood pressure in your ankles and arms to detect any discrepancies indicative of PAD.

4.. Doppler Ultrasound: This non-invasive test uses sound waves to visualize blood flow in the arteries and identify any blockages or narrowing.
