Leg Coldness and Numbness
What are Cold and Numb Legs?
Cold and numb legs or feet may be indicative of poor circulation, nerve damage, or underlying vascular issues. Poor circulation can lead to a lack of warmth in the extremities, while nerve damage may result in sensations of numbness, tingling, or burning. If left unaddressed, patients can experience complications such as impaired mobility, increased risk of falls, and the development of serious vascular or neurological conditions. Patients who have any of these conditions should schedule a consultation at StrideCare today.
What Causes Cold and Numb Legs?
Cold and numb legs are caused by multiple factors, including poor circulation, nerve damage, and underlying medical conditions. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is characterized by abnormal circulation of blood flow to the limbs, resulting in feelings of cold and numb sensations in the legs. Underlying nerve disorders can also cause sensations of coldness and numbness.
