Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations that may occur anywhere in your body, but are often felt in your fingers, hands, feet, arms, or legs.
This may be a similar feeling when you wake up from sleeping and your arm feels “asleep” and then tingles as the blood flow returns to it. However, lasting arm or leg tingling and numbness may be a sign of a pinched nerve in your neck or back.

What Causes Numbness and Tingling in Arms and Hands?
Hand numbness that originates from problems with the spine is often, but not always, associated with neck pain and/or stiffness.
A Pinched Nerve (or Radiculopathy) is essentially the result of too much pressure applied to a nerve by different surrounding tissues like muscles, bones, tendons or cartilage.
Chiropractor for Numbness and Tingling in Hands and Feet
If you are experiencing numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, you may be wondering whether or not you need to see a chiropractor.
While there are many potential causes of these symptoms, chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for numbness and tingling caused by nerve compression.
When the nerves that travel to your extremities are compressed, they can become irritated and inflamed, leading to numbness, tingling, and pain.
A chiropractor for numbness can help to relieve the pressure on these nerves by realigning the spine and correcting any joint dysfunction. In addition, chiropractic care can also help to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the affected area.

As a direct consequence, that nerve’s integrity and overall condition is reduced causing pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or an electric shock type of sensation in your back, neck or even shoulders and feet.
For example, a pinched nerve on your lower back may result in numbness in your feet, as nerves in that area reach out to your lower extremities.
“Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – This condition is basically a pinched nerve, specifically located on one of the wrist nerves, causing tingling and numbness on the hand and its fingers.
“Peripheral Neuropathy“: This condition derives from different levels of damage in the nerves of your feet and hands, causing tingling sensations and numbness, mainly from injuries, infections, metabolic conditions, inherited causes and exposure to toxins, as well as certain types of diabetes.
Numbness and Tingling Treatment Care Plan

Then he determines which of our many services best meet your needs to reduce pain and restore healthy circulation and nerve signal flow.
This may be accomplished through chiropractic adjustments and/or physiotherapy.

As a result, your pain is decreased and the tingling and numbing sensations lessen. Our natural chiropractic and physiotherapy approach is lasting and effective and there are many supporting services available to improve circulation and ease your discomfort.
