Underlying Causes of Poor Circulation in Your Feet

Poor circulation in the feet can cause the feet to become cold, discolored, or numb. Cold weather or underlying conditions can cause poor circulation. Here are a few of the common causes:

Raynaud’s disease- Causes blood vessels to narrow when someone is cold or, sometimes, when stressed.

Acrocyanosis- A condition that causes the extremities, such as the toes, to turn blue.

Diabetes

Arteriosclerosis- This occurs when the arteries harden, and blood cannot travel through them easily.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD)- This can reduce or even stop blood flow, resulting in tissue death and potentially amputation.
