About Numbness & Tingling

Numbness and tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet are sensory symptoms that most often trace back to nerve compression or irritation somewhere along the spine. The sensation, formally called paresthesia (an abnormal skin sensation such as prickling, burning, or numbness without an external cause), can range from a brief inconvenience to a persistent sign of an underlying structural problem. Identifying the spinal level involved is the first step toward resolving the symptom rather than just managing it. Chiropractic care addresses the mechanical causes of nerve interference that produce these sensations.
