WHAT CAUSES NUMBNESS OR TINGLING?
Numbness and tingling typically occur when a nerve is irritated, compressed, or inflamed. These sensations can travel along the nerve pathway—causing symptoms far from the actual source of the problem.
Using spinal and neurological analysis, we determine whether the nerve issue is rooted in spinal misalignment, disc pressure, or muscle tension—and address it through targeted chiropractic care.
COMMON CAUSES OF NERVE SYMPTOMS:
- Spinal misalignment compressing nerves
- Cervical or lumbar disc bulges, Sciatica
- Postural compression or forward head carriage
- Nerve root irritation in the neck, lower back
- Piriformis syndrome or pelvic misalignment
- Muscle spasms or scar tissue pinching nerves
- Repetitive stress injuries or past trauma
SYMPTOMS WE TREAT:
- Tingling or “pins and needles” in arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Numbness that comes and goes with position changes
- Feeling of weakness, heaviness, or poor grip strength
- Burning or “electric” sensations down limbs
- Pain radiating from the spine into the limbs
- Symptoms that worsen with sitting, sleeping, or working at a desk

FAQs:
Q: What’s causing my hands or feet to tingle?
A: It’s usually a nerve issue—often from spinal misalignment or pressure in the neck or low back. We identify and correct the source, not just the symptom.
Q: Will I need an MRI or X-ray?
A: We perform a thorough evaluation first. If imaging is needed, we offer in-office X-rays or can refer you for advanced scans.
Q: Can this help with sciatica or shooting leg pain?
A: Yes. Sciatica is a form of nerve irritation we regularly treat. Chiropractic is often highly effective for relieving it.
Q: Is this permanent nerve damage?
A: Most cases are not. Early intervention can often restore full function by relieving the nerve before long-term damage sets in.
