Common Causes of Poor Circulation
Blood Clots
A blood clot can originate anywhere in your body and cause a block or restriction in blood flow. The most common places for a blood clot to form are the arms or the legs, resulting in symptoms of poor circulation. Blood clots have also been known to cause serious complications such as a stroke.
Diabetes
Most people associate diabetes with blood sugar levels, but it has also been revealed to affect circulation in our bodies. You may experience cramping in the legs that may get worse as you become more active. People with diabetic neuropathy may experience numbness or tingling, as well as nerve damage in their legs and feet,
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
PAD is more common in people over 50, although it can afflict younger people especially if they smoke. PAD causes poor circulation in the legs due to a narrowing in the arteries and blood vessels, and can eventually result in nerve or tissue damage if left untreated.
Raynaud’s Disease
Raynaud’s disease results in chronic cold fingers and feet due to the narrowing of the arteries in the hands and toes. With arteries that narrow, it’s harder for blood to flow to these areas, leading to poor circulation. You may also experience these symptoms in other parts of the body, including your nose, ears, or lips.

FAQ’s
How is toenail fungus diagnosed at your clinic?
Our podiatrists perform a thorough examination of your nails and feet to assess for signs of infection. We often use digital radiography and advanced imaging tools to evaluate the underlying nail bed and detect the extent of the fungal growth. In some cases, nail samples may be sent for laboratory testing to confirm the presence of specific fungi. This comprehensive approach ensures an accurate diagnosis and helps guide the most effective treatment plan.
What treatment options are available for toenail fungus?
Treatment for toenail fungus varies depending on the severity of the infection. Our clinic offers a range of solutions including topical antifungal medications, oral prescriptions, and laser therapy that targets the fungus without harming surrounding tissue. We also provide guidance on preventive care, such as proper nail trimming, foot hygiene, and selecting breathable footwear, to complement the medical treatments and reduce the risk of recurrence.
How long does it take to see results from toenail fungus treatment?
Results from toenail fungus treatment can vary based on the type and severity of the infection. In general, it may take several weeks to a few months for noticeable improvement as the infected nail gradually grows out and healthy nail tissue replaces it. Our podiatry team closely monitors progress and adjusts treatments if necessary to ensure the best outcomes. Patient adherence to care recommendations is essential for achieving lasting results.
