Poor circulation
Poor circulation reduces the ability of feet to heal from injury or trauma and can cause symptoms like cold feet, numbness, tingling or pain. In some cases, the symptoms of poor circulation can be improved through lifestyle modifications, such as quitting smoking and increasing exercise.
One method our podiatry specialists use to address these symptoms is hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which helps the body fight bacteria and heal through exposure to 100 percent oxygen at a higher rate of pressure than normal.
