Healogics® Raises Awareness of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) During September Awareness Month
JACKSONVILLE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Healogics®, the nation’s wound healing and hyperbaric oxygen therapy expert, is proud to recognize Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month by urging patients and healthcare providers to take action against this often-silent but serious condition. PAD affects more than 8 million Americans, including 1 in 5 adults over the age of 60, and is a leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations.
PAD is a circulatory condition caused by atherosclerosis, where fatty plaque builds up in the arteries, restricting blood flow—especially to the legs and feet. This can lead to pain, non-healing wounds, and in severe cases, amputation. Alarmingly, up to 40% of individuals with PAD may not experience symptoms until a wound becomes difficult to heal.
“Early detection and timely wound care are critical to preventing complications from PAD,” said Dr. William Ennis, Chief Medical Officer at Healogics. “A simple, non-invasive test like the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) can help identify PAD before it leads to irreversible damage.”
Know the Signs of PAD:
· Pain or cramping in the legs while walking
· Cool or shiny skin on the lower legs and feet
· Pale legs when elevated, bluish when lowered
· Numbness or tingling in the feet
· Wounds on the legs or feet that won’t heal
Healogics® nationwide network of over 600 Wound Care Centers® offers specialized care and diagnostic tools to support early intervention. Patients with diabetes, a history of smoking, or vascular disease are especially encouraged to seek evaluation.
“At Healogics, we see firsthand how Peripheral Artery Disease impacts patients’ lives,” said Mark Nemenz, Chief Clinical and Operations Officer. “Our clinical teams are deeply committed to early detection and timely wound care that can prevent serious
complications. PAD Awareness Month is an opportunity to educate, engage, and empower communities to take action before wounds become limb-threatening
Throughout September, Healogics will launch educational campaigns, social media outreach, and community engagement initiatives, including the White Sock Campaign, to spotlight the importance of PAD awareness and limb preservation.
