Numbness

What is Numbness?

Numbness and tingling down the arms and legs, also known as paresthesia, can also include symptoms such as pain, burning, pricking, or creeping along the skin. These symptoms generally indicate a malfunction of sensory nerves.

What causes Numbness?

While many sufferers of numbness, tingling, and pain in their arms and legs often recall specific traumas, such as head injuries, auto accidents, or falls, that could have potentially injured their spines, some individuals do not have such clear recollections. In these cases, a thorough examination is necessary. This will help assess each individual’s situation, determine whether an injury is present, and identify what care or treatment can be provided to address the issue.
