Oak Creek Treatment for Pain, Tingling, and Numbness in the Arms and Legs
Pain, tingling, and numbness in the arms and legs can be more than uncomfortable; these symptoms can make performing everyday tasks challenging and diminish the quality of life for those who experience these sensations.
The sensations are typically processed through the nervous system and interpreted through the nerve paths in the brain. These symptoms can vary and can be experienced as a tingling sensation, numbness, or even shooting pain. Such feelings often indicate nerve issues, which might not always be localized but could be related to nerve fibers in different body parts.
Causes of Symptoms
The origin of these sensations can frequently be traced back to issues in the spine or the spinal nerve roots. Conditions like nerve root impingement, irritation, or inflammation can lead to symptoms radiating down the arms and legs.
People with peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes or chemotherapy treatment, for example, also experience symptoms of tingling and numbness. This type of neuropathy occurs when peripheral nerves, located farthest from the central nervous system, receive inadequate blood supply, affecting their function.
A Comprehensive Evaluation
Your chiropractor will perform a thorough examination to diagnose the precise cause of your pain, tingling, or numbness. This includes assessing your range of motion to see how movements affect the symptoms and conducting orthopedic tests to differentiate between nerve root impingement and peripheral neuropathy. Postural analysis and palpation are also integral to the chiropractic evaluation to observe muscle spasms and joint movement.
