Tingling
Pinched nerves commonly cause numbness and tingling. For instance, a
neck injury could be the cause of tingling in an arm or a lower back
injury could be the cause of tingling down the back of your leg
(sciatica.) Herniated disks, arthritis of the spinal joints, vertebral
misalignment (subluxation) and other types of spinal involvement are
also a potential cause. Tingling that is not related to a pinced nerve
in the spine may be caused from nerve interference in areas where
inflammation, commonly around joints, can cause nerve irritation. For
instance, carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness or tingling in your
wrist, fingers, hand, or forearm.
Other maladies, which can cause a tingling sensation are: Migraine
headaches, B-12 deficiency (a nutritional disorder) diabetes,
underactive thyroid conditions, multiple sclerosis, transient ischemic
attacks, or stroke. Certain medications and toxic substances such as
alcohol, tobacco, and lead can also cause numbness and tingling.
Numbness and tingling can also be a result of radiation therapy (a type
of cancer treatment.)
A Doctor of Chiropractic can help determine where your symptoms of
tingling are coming from. With the use of adjustments and physical
modalities such as heat, exercise, stretching, ultrasound, and massage,
if needed, your chiropractor may be able to help you improve or
eliminate your problems with tingling or numbness altogether.
