TinglingPinched 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.
