What Causes Numbness and Tingling?

Numbness and tingling, often described as “pins and needles,” usually point to a nerve that is being compressed, irritated, or damaged somewhere along its path. This can happen in the neck, lower back, shoulder, wrist, or hip, and the sensation is frequently felt in a location far from where the actual problem originates. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal misalignment, muscle tension, repetitive strain, and injuries from car accidents or falls.

Common Sources of Nerve-Related Symptoms

  • Herniated or bulging discs in the neck or lower back
  • Pinched nerves from spinal misalignment
  • Sciatica affecting the leg and foot
  • Carpal tunnel-type wrist and hand compression
  • Whiplash or other injury-related nerve irritation

How We Treat Numbness and Tingling

From there, we use targeted techniques such as chiropractic instrument adjusting, myofascial release, and corrective exercises to relieve pressure on the affected nerve and restore normal signaling. Patients dealing with numbness and tingling often also experience arm and leg pain or low back pain, and we address these conditions together for lasting relief.

Numbness and Tingling After an Accident
