Smart-ABI® Circulation Testing

The Fast, Painless Test That Changes Everything In Sugar Land, TX

Numbness, burning, cold feet, slow-healing wounds…

Before you “treat neuropathy,” you have to prove circulation is safe.

A huge amount of foot pain and “neuropathy” symptoms overlap with poor circulation (PAD). And PAD is famously underdiagnosed—many people don’t have obvious symptoms.

That’s why we use Smart-ABI: a quick, non-invasive test that measures Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and captures Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) waveforms to evaluate blood flow into the legs and feet.

No needles.
No radiation.
No pain.
Just clarity.

Why this test matters (more than people realize)

If circulation is impaired and you don’t catch it early, the downstream problems can be serious:

    Higher risk of ulcers and infection

    Delayed healing after procedures

    Persistent pain, cramping, heaviness, or cold feet

    Increased fall risk and reduced mobility

    SmartABI helps answer the question that unlocks the right plan:

    Is this primarily nerve-related… or blood-flow related… or both?

    What Smart-ABI does

    SmartABI creates an easy-to-review report that includes:

    • ABI (compares ankle pressure to arm pressure)
    • PVR waveforms (shows how blood volume moves through the leg)
    • Trending/reporting designed to integrate with clinical workflows

    ABI is a widely used PAD screening tool, and PVR is a recognized noninvasive way to evaluate blood flow in the legs.

    Who should get tested

    SmartABI is ideal if you have:

    • diabetes or pre-diabetes
    • numbness, tingling, burning, or “dead” feeling feet
    • cold feet, color changes, or slow-healing skin
    • leg fatigue/cramping with walking
    • history of smoking, heart disease, or high blood pressure
    • concern about safe healing before foot/ankle treatments

    If you’re “treating neuropathy” without confirming circulation, you’re guessing.

    What the test feels like

    You relax in a chair or exam room

    Cuffs are placed on arms/ankles

    The test runs automatically

    You get a clear, readable report

     

    It’s painless and typically completed quickly (SmartABI is designed for rapid testing).

    What you can expect.

    Most patients begin treatment at their first visit—here’s how it works:

    Confirm

    We review your symptoms and risk factors and decide if SmartABI testing is appropriate.

     

    Test

    We perform ABI + PVR testing in-office.

    Act

    If results are normal: great—neuropathy care can proceed with confidence.
    If abnormal: we pivot fast—protect the foot, adjust treatment plans, and coordinate next steps.

    Common questions

    Is this “neuropathy testing”?

    It’s circulation testing—often the missing piece in neuropathy workups, because symptoms can overlap.

     

    Does it hurt?

    No. It’s noninvasive and painless.

    Can I do it the same day?

    Yes. In most cases, we can perform testing the same day.

    Is an automated ABI accurate?

    Studies show automated ABI methods can be comparable to Doppler ABI in many settings, and they’re faster and easier to perform—especially for screening.

    The botton line

    If you’re dealing with neuropathy symptoms—or you’re high risk—this is the smartest first step:

    Confirm circulation. Remove doubt. Treat the right problem.
