Circulation Disorders

Disorders of the circulatory system are chronic conditions in which there is a problem getting blood from one part of the body to another. These can occur due to trauma, an aneurysm, a vascular malformation or as a result of Raynaud’s disease. Signs and symptoms of a circulatory disorder include changing color, pain and numbness on the tips of the fingers; extreme cold sensitivity; and localized swelling. Treatment options include exercise and weight management programs, dietary modifications, smoking cessation and drug therapies as well as physiotherapy, massage, flowtron therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, electromagnetic therapy and vibrotherapy.
