Numbness and tingling can occur due to a pinched nerve or a medical condition and significantly affect your daily life. At Creek Chiropractic in Beavercreek, OH, we provide chiropractic care to reduce your symptoms and improve your overall health. Before visiting us, learn about some causes of numbness and tingling below:
Understanding Numbness and Tingling
Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations often resulting from nerve-related issues. Numbness denotes a loss of sensation, while tingling manifests as a "pins and needles" feeling. These sensations can occur in various parts of the body and require care when they persist.
Causes of Numbness and Tingling
Several factors can contribute to numbness and tingling, such as pinched nerves, compressed discs, poor circulation, diabetes, neuropathy, and spinal misalignments. Pinched nerves, in particular, can lead to these discomforting sensations and can be relieved with chiropractic care.
Chiropractic Care for Pinched Nerves
Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and holistic approach to addressing pinched nerves that are causing numbness and tingling. Our chiropractor, Dr. Briggs, will conduct a physical exam to identify the root cause of these sensations and locate any pinched nerves. After, we will create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel better.
Your care plan may include chiropractic adjustments. The adjustments help realign the spine, which takes pressure off of the nerves and improves nerve function. In addition to addressing the symptoms, the treatments also treat any underlying issues that are causing discomfort.
Our chiropractor may also recommend corrective exercises to strengthen your muscles and improve your posture. The exercises can help support your nerve health and reduce the chances of recurring numbness and tingling associated with pinched nerves. We will teach you the movements in the office and you will continue them at home between your appointments.
In addition to chiropractic treatments, Dr. Briggs can suggest lifestyle modifications, including proper nutrition and ergonomics. This holistic approach can help you heal faster and address pinched nerves comprehensively.
