Numbness & Tingling

Numbness and tingling are incredibly common! Maybe you slept on your arm wrong, or maybe your condition is chronic. This is a condition called paresthesia, and even the pins and needles you feel when your foot falls asleep is a form of this.

Paresthesia results from nerve compression or lack of blood flow to the affected area. In most cases, decompressing the nerves and letting the blood flow back in is all that’s needed to alleviate the symptoms. In other cases, paresthesia can happen without any known cause. Many conditions can be the cause for this, but involuntary paresthesia, when left untreated, can become a serious problem.

While temporary paresthesia is an everyday experience for a lot of people, chronic paresthesia, which can occur at random or constant intervals, and with no known cause, is a serious condition that requires proper treatment. Since the potential causes involve nerve trauma and spine issues, one of the best sources of treatment is chiropractic care.

How Chiropractic Care for Numbness and Tingling Helps

Nerve compression is the primary cause for numbness and in most cases is something chiropractors can target specifically. As a subluxation, the curvature is abnormal in a particular area and can impact the numbness and tingling you may feel. Spine curvature directly dictates how well your nerve pathways function on a day-to-day basis, so it’s important to have these subluxations corrected.

Subluxations can have a wide variety of consequences for your health as well as impact your nervous system. Not only can chiropractic care help to correct these subluxations, but your chiropractor can also help to educate on how to prevent them from forming again through lifestyle changes.
