Understanding Lower Extremity Claudication and Vascular Health with Pinellas Vascular

Health & Fitness


Welcome to Pinellas Vascular, your reliable source for vascular care here in Florida. I’m Dr. Bunnell, a board-certified vascular surgeon who specializes in treating all the blood vessels, arteries, and veins throughout your body. At Pinellas Vascular, we know how important your vascular health is to your overall wellness, and we work hard to create personalized treatment plans that fit your specific needs.


 One of the common problems we help with is called Lower Extremity Claudication. This condition causes pain and cramping in the lower legs, usually when you walk or exercise. It happens because the arteries that carry blood to your legs are narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow. If you feel any discomfort in your legs, it’s important to get checked by a doctor as soon as possible to avoid more serious issues.
