At Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic in North Salt Lake, we understand how frustrating and unsettling it can be to experience numbness and tingling. These strange sensations can affect your face, hands, feet, arms, and legs interfering with daily activities and making you feel disconnected from your body. The good news is: you’re not alone, and help is available.
Understanding Numbness and Tingling
Numbness and tingling (also called paresthesia) are sensations that often feel like pins and needles, burning, or even a complete loss of feeling. These symptoms can come and go or remain constant, depending on the underlying cause. While some people may associate them with something as simple as sleeping in a bad position, persistent or recurring numbness and tingling often indicate a deeper issue involving your nervous system.
Common causes of numbness and tingling include:
- Nerve compression or irritation
- Disc problems in the spine
- Spinal misalignments
- Poor posture
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Whiplash injuries
- Upper cervical misalignments
In many cases, these symptoms are a warning sign that nerves are being compressed, irritated, or not functioning properly. That’s where we can help.
The Upper Cervical Difference
At Refuge Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we focus on a specialized area of the spine: the upper cervical region (the top two bones in your neck). This area is critically important because it’s where the brainstem connects to the spinal cord. Even a small misalignment in this region can interfere with how your brain and body communicate, affecting nerve signals and potentially contributing to numbness and tingling.
When nerve interference occurs, it can lead to:
- Altered sensation (numbness, tingling, burning)
- Muscle weakness
- Poor coordination
- Balance issues
By addressing the root cause of nerve interference, we help restore normal function to your nervous system, which may relieve your symptoms naturally and safely.
