PODIATRY ASSOCIATES
PAD SCREENINGS
PAD is Peripheral Artery Disease This is when plaque builds up in arteries in the legs that disrupt
blood from flowing to the lower extremities. This can lead to cramping (walking and at rest), cold feet, dis-colored skin, and if left untreated, ulcerations, gan-grene, and amputation. You are also statistically
more likely to have a plaque build up going to your heart (heart attack) and brain (stroke) if you are
suffering from PAD
Thursday, January 16, 11-1
Podiatry Associates will give a quick talk about the disease. Sceenings will be done
afterwards. Testing is free and takes about 3-5 minutes. Please wear shoes & socks
that can easily be taken off.
