How can a Chiropractor Help with Numbness and Tingling?

Getting numbness and tingling checked out if it’s persistent could be the key to discovering a larger underlying problem.

Some conditions that place pressure on your nerves could be:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Scar tissue
• Enlarged blood vessels
• Infection
• Tumors

In addition, some diseases produce numbness and tingling as a symptom, like diabetes, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, hardening of the arteries, and underactive thyroid.

You should seek medical attention if you have medical history of any of these conditions.

How can a Chiropractor Help with Numbness and Tingling?

Even though there are many names for these conditions, the primary source of numbness and tingling and the conditions that go with them begin in the neck or low back by way of segmental displacement.

Common solutions may not always work for the treatment of numbness and tingling due to a structural cause. If your numbness and tingling doesn’t respond to treatment by your primary care physician, an investigation by a specific structural correction chiropractor may be needed.

What about numbness in your feet?

Many people think that a numb or tingling sensation in their extremities is part of the aging process, but this type of secondary condition can be an indicator of a deeper problem.

If you’ve been ignoring unusual prickling sensations in your body similar to when your arm or leg falls asleep, you could be potentially making a problem worse without knowing it.

Whiplash What You Must Know

Statistically, there is a strong likelihood that you or someone you know will be involved in a car accident.  The average driver will be in a car crash once every 18 years translating into 4 accidents over the course of a lifetime.  Though the risk of death is very low, the odds are that one of these accidents will result in bodily injury (whiplash) and/ or property damage, is high.  Even a minor fender bender can result in an injury, which can cause problems.  If you’ve ever been in one you know what I’m talking about.  Typically the first course of action is treating your pain with painkillers and rest.  Once you feel better, you may think that you’re in the clear, but what if your symptoms linger?  Or in some cases if you have no symptoms, can a car crash come back to hurt you later in life?

Numbness and Tingling: Normal or a Warning Sign?

A common condition that I see in my office is numbness and tingling that travels into the extremities. Some people think that it’s normal or just a part of the “aging” process to experience this but in fact this type of secondary condition can be an indicator of a much deeper problem.

In order to understand these secondary conditions we first need to understand a bit of anatomy and how nerve information is sent through the body. Nerves in the neck travel down the arms to your hands and nerves in the low back travel down the legs to your feet.
