Depends: On so many variables. If significant in the neck or legs surger may be indicated, medical management can be indicated in certian cases, It is hard to speculate without further details. Control of risk factors like quitting smoking, HTN

Know the cause first: The reason for impaired circulation (diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease, venous stasis, etc) will dictate the treatment course. See your physician for a full evaluation and physical examination. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bloodheartandcirculation.html

Trust Your Doctor: Probably a kick in the butt and advice to get more exercise,unless you have something he thinks is serious,based upon your history and physical exam, and any underlying problems you have and other medications you're taking and how physically fit you are. See? It's so simple!So,rather than speculate about this,talk to your doctor. No point in making a list of funny naming chemicals or tests for you

Need more informatio: Do you mean bad circulation? What kind of symptoms are you having? This can be a complicated problem and you will need to be tested for high blood pressure and diabetes.

A bit general: there are several different issues on circulation each with their own particular treatment. Cold extremities might benefit from stopping cigarettes and starting exercise. Varicose veins will often need surgery.
