Numbness

If you’ve been experiencing numbness or tingling in your arms, legs, hands, or feet, it may be a sign of an underlying issue with your spine and nervous system. At Well-Balanced Family Chiropractic, we understand the impact that numbness can have on your quality of life, and we’re here to help.

Numbness

Causes

Numbness can be caused by a range of factors, including:

Pinched nerves

When a nerve is compressed or pinched, typically due to spinal issues, it can cause numbness or tingling in the area that the nerve controls.

Poor posture

Poor posture can put pressure on nerves, leading to numbness and tingling.

Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that can radiate from the lower back down to the toes.

Herniated disc

A herniated disc in the spine can put pressure on nerves, leading to numbness and tingling in the arms or legs.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

This condition occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

Nutritional deficiencies

Certain nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin B12, can cause numbness and tingling in the extremities.

Symptoms

Symptoms of numbness can vary depending on the underlying cause, but may include:

  • Tingling or pins and needles sensation
  • Weakness or loss of sensation in the affected area
  • Pain or discomfort in the affected area
  • Difficulty with fine motor skills, such as buttoning clothes or holding a pen
