What Are Arterial Ulcers?
Arterial ulcers, also known as ischemic ulcers, are painful wounds that occur due to poor blood circulation in the arteries. These ulcers commonly develop on the lower legs and feet, and they can be challenging to heal without proper medical intervention. Symptoms of arterial ulcers include:
- Severe pain: Especially at night or when legs are elevated
- Punched-out appearance: The ulcers have well-defined edges
- Cool skin: The surrounding skin may feel cold to the touch
- Shiny skin:The skin around the ulcer may appear shiny and thin
Advanced Arterial Ulcer Treatment with Shock-Wave Ultrasound Technology
At Virtue Wound Clinic, Dr. Krikorian employs advanced shock-wave ultrasound technology to treat arterial ulcers effectively. This non-invasive treatment promotes wound healing by enhancing blood flow and stimulating tissue regeneration.
How Shock-Wave Ultrasound Technology Works
Shock-wave ultrasound therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to the affected area. These sound waves create micro-traumas that trigger the body’s natural healing response. The benefits of this advanced arterial ulcer treatment include:
- Improved Blood Circulation: The therapy stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow to the ulcer.
- Enhanced Healing: The treatment accelerates the healing process by promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue.
- Pain Reduction: Patients often experience significant pain relief as the treatment reduces inflammation and improves circulation.
- Minimally Invasive: This non-surgical approach involves no incisions, reducing the risk of infection and shortening recovery time.

"No More Pain"
MaryAnn R.
My daughter could not believe how good my legs looked! She is going to see Dr. Krikorian too. I was completely satisfied with my treatment and am no longer in pain. The result is fantastic and I highly recommend going to see Dr. Krikorian if you are experiencing any leg pain.
"I Walked 2 Miles the Next Day!"
Shirley M.
I had suffered with varicose veins for years. I recently went to see Dr. Krikorian at Virtue Vein & Lymphatic Center where he told me everything I needed to know about vein disease and the treatment options. He performed a laser ablation on my diseased vein, and I was able to resume my normal activity the day after my procedure!
"They Listen Very Well!"
Jeff K.
Dr. Krikorian is a busy man, but he will take the time necessary to really listen to you and figure out what the problem is. Most doctors these days seem to be talking to the computer, and not the person. Well, here it is the other way around.
"Very Knowledgable!"
Happy Patient
After my stress test was normal, Dr. Krikorian explained that the test was around 70% accurate and that I should pay close attention to my body for any warning signs. A few weeks later I was exercising when my energy was zapped in less than 10 minutes and I had a pain under the sternum. I called Dr. Krikorian and he scheduled a cardiac catheterization the next day. He said I showed no sign of a heart attack but he found a 99% blockage in the circumflex artery, which he opened with a stent. I am grateful that he explained possible warning signs and then responded quickly with the catheterization and stent.
"My Leg is Feeling So Much Better!"
Marlene G.
Dr. Krikorian performed a laser ablation to treat the vein disease in my right leg. I didn’t even realize how much my left leg hurt from varicose veins until he fixed my right leg! I thought the treatment would be painful, so I was so pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t.
