What Causes Raynaud's Disease?

Injuries To Hands Or Feet

Perhaps the most obvious cause of poor circulation and problems in the extremities is experiencing injuries to hands or feet. Any inflammation experienced in the area can throw off circulation and cause abnormalities. This is especially true when the hands and feet have experienced repetitive trauma. Damage to the nerves can occur during any traumatic injury, and when this happens, the blood vessels those nerves serve will be affected. This can be true even for individuals who have not experienced severe trauma. For example, pianists who are regularly and vigorously working their hands are more at risk of developing Raynaud's disease, as are workers who handle powerful vibrating tools all the time.
