Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects millions of people worldwide, including many right here in Manchester. At Manchester Active, we are dedicated to providing you with the resources, support, and information you need to manage and understand this condition.

WHAT IS PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE?

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. It usually affects the legs and can cause symptoms such as leg pain when walking (claudication). PAD is often a sign of a more widespread accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis) which can reduce blood flow to your heart and brain as well as your legs.

Manchester Active is working with our partners to raise awareness of this disease, how to spot symptoms early, and the variety of services, resources and support available to you in Manchester.
