Numbness and Tingling

Could it be compression from a compromised posture?

You could be anywhere doing anything and all of a sudden feel a sensation of numbness and tingling down a leg, an arm or maybe in your hands. It can feel scary as you realize it’s not leaving and you don’t know what to do.

A smart first place to seek answers is the chiropractic office. Why? Because they are trained to identify pressure and interference on nerves, that often relates to numbness and tingling.

In our office specifically, we take a global analysis of your body. It’s kind of like a contractor taking a look at the foundation of your house. Is the integrity of your house being compromised somewhere that would cause the floorboards to squeak, windows to not shut or cracks in the walls? Of course, you know simply replacing a board or painting over the cracks is only temporary.

It’s the same thing with numbness and tingling. We look at your 3D posture in real time under gravity to identify any compression, weakness or trauma that could create pressure on nerves or reduce blood, oxygen and lymph flow. While a shot in the arm may make the tingles go away, again it’s temporary and important to see where the compression begins.

Whether it’s numbness in the face, down an arm, leg or even in the foot, we have connected many dots for patients, corrected the issue which alleviates the numbness and tingling sensations… and saved them from surgery!

There is a chance numbness and tingling may be from an insect bite or toxins in seafood, abnormal B-12 levels or even medications such as chemotherapy. That’s why we say simply come get checked in a Structural Examination. If we rule out structural compression, we can ensure you’re making the right next step to find the CAUSE.

Just like a contractor being able to rule out foundation issues, letting you know the issue is directly with the window itself. We aim to save you time, energy and money by looking beyond symptoms to travel to the root cause. When you ask the right questions, you get the answers you’re really looking for!
