About Leg Pain

Leg pain is not a single procedure but a common symptom evaluated and managed by Internal Medicine specialists. These physicians conduct a comprehensive assessment to diagnose the underlying cause, which can range from musculoskeletal issues like strains or arthritis to vascular problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or peripheral artery disease (PAD), and systemic conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders. The management plan is tailored to the specific diagnosis and may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, physical therapy referrals, or coordination with other specialists. The goal is to alleviate pain, address the root cause, improve mobility, and prevent complications through a holistic, patient-centered approach.
