Locals Learn How Memphis Chiropractor Helps Get Rid Of Numbness And Tingling

By Jay Dy


Your brain links to the world outside using millions of sensory nerve fibers that are each very fragile. The fibers transmit information needed for safety as well as movement. However, if they become numb or tingle that are not doing their job. With help from a Memphis chiropractor, these conditions can be corrected.

Sufferers describe the sensations in many different ways. Some experience burning and pain while others feel as if the limb is asleep. The root cause is that the nerve is pinched and the pinch interferes with communication between one's brain and body.

In order for the nerve to function correctly, the underlying problem must be removed. If left too long, impingements can tear, cut or damage nerves, leading to permanent numbness. However, in most cases, removing the impingement of peripheral sensory nerves allows the nerve to begin a healing process.

One of the most common locations for impingements is in the spine. Subluxations and herniated discs allow abnormal pressure to compress nerves. The interference causes numbness in an affected limb and can reach to the fingers or toes. In the lower back, impingements affect the legs and in the neck or upper back the arms. Often, the problem affects the limb without causing pain in the region of the actual pinch.

Chiropractic works by restoring balance to the spine so nerves are no longer being pinched. The therapy is noninvasive and not dependant on using drugs, surgery or shots. Once the pressure is removed, the nerve begins the slow repair process.

Numbness and tingling can affect many different parts of the body. While some is due to irreversible nerve damage caused by diseases such as diabetes, most is caused by impingement of nerves along their path. A Memphis chiropractor offers help for these impingements that allows the natural healing of the body to begin.
