Numbness and tingling can be signs of underlying health concerns affecting the nerves. Common causes include diabetes, which can lead to peripheral neuropathy, as well as stroke, autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, or spinal issues that compress nerves. These sensations often result from disrupted communication between nerves and the brain. A chiropractor can evaluate spinal alignment and nerve function, using adjustments and therapeutic techniques to relieve nerve pressure and improve circulation. Chiropractic care may help reduce symptoms and restore proper nerve signaling. If you are experiencing frequent numbness or tingling, it is suggested that you consult a chiropractor to uncover the cause and receive care aimed at improving your comfort, mobility, and overall nervous system health.

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.
