Numbness and tingling can occur when nerves are irritated or compressed, often due to poor posture, joint restriction, repetitive movement, or strain on the spine and surrounding tissues. These sensations may affect the hands, arms, feet, or legs and can feel like pins and needles, burning, weakness, or a loss of feeling. Some people notice symptoms that come and go, while others feel them more often during daily activities or after sitting or standing for long periods. A chiropractor can help by evaluating how the spine and joints are moving and finding areas that may be placing pressure on nearby nerves. Gentle chiropractic care can improve joint motion, reduce nerve stress, and support healthier nerve communication throughout the body. If numbness and tingling are affecting comfort or daily life, professional care may help. It is suggested that you call today to schedule an appointment and learn how chiropractic care may help improve sensation and overall comfort.

Numbness and Tingling 

Numbness and tingling sensations can disrupt daily life, often arising from issues like nerve compression, poor circulation, or structural imbalances. These symptoms, commonly felt in the hands, feet, arms, or legs, range from mild pins and needles to persistent discomfort. Conditions such as herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, or peripheral neuropathy are frequent causes, often linked to irritated or restricted nerve pathways. Left untreated, these sensations may worsen, leading to reduced mobility or further nerve damage.
Chiropractic care addresses numbness and tingling by focusing on the root causes. A chiropractor evaluates spinal alignment, nerve function, and contributing factors like posture or muscle tension. Through targeted adjustments and therapies, they relieve nerve compression, improve circulation, and restore function. Lifestyle recommendations complement treatment, offering long-term relief and promoting nerve health.
1. Are numbness and tingling always nerve-related?
Not always. While often linked to nerve compression, these sensations can also result from poor circulation or systemic conditions. Chiropractors assess for nerve involvement and recommend appropriate care or referrals.
2. Can numbness and tingling affect only one side of the body?
Yes, these symptoms can be unilateral, often indicating localized nerve compression or structural imbalances, which chiropractors can identify and treat.
