[AMP-L] Amputation Prevention Williams Clinic introduces New Procedure

via The South Reporter:

There is a lot of excitement at Williams Medical Clinic in Holly 
Springs as a team has been put in place to help diabetics save their 
extremities.  

Dr. Stephen Leschak, radiologist, and John Scallions, Family Nurse 
Practioner- Board Certified, are bringing in their team that will be 
used to screen, educate, and treat arterial blockages in the legs and 
feet of diabetic patients.  

The removal of blockages in the arteries of the feet restores blood 
flow to the foot and relieves lifestyle-limiting symptoms such as 
nighttime leg cramps, resting leg pain and severe leg and foot 
cramping. The severe leg cramping in the calves, thighs and buttocks 
while walking are relieved by the procedure. Progressive numbness and 
tingling and burning and foot wounds could ultimately lead to 
amputation.
