Raynaud’s Syndrome (Phenomenon) is a medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow.

The episodes result in the affected part turning white and then blue. Often, numbness or pain occurs. As blood flow returns, the area turns red and burns. The episodes typically last minutes, but can last several hours.

The primary treatment is avoiding the cold.

Other measures include the discontinuation of nicotine or stimulants use.

  • Medications for treatment of cases that do not improve include calcium channel blockers and iloprost.
  • Little evidence supports alternative medicine.

If you would like to be evaluated for this condition by a foot specialist, visit one of the offices of Innovative Foot and Ankle in Northern New Jersey.
