Tingling & Numbness Treatment in Clearwater, FL

When all you want to do is lie down and get some rest, it’s incredibly bothersome to have numbness or tingling in your hands and feet. If your circulation is cut off, changing your position may be enough to improve blood flow and get rid of the feeling that your extremities have “fallen asleep.” Other times, the numbness or tingling is chronic or episodic in nature, with seemingly nothing you can do to get rid of it.

Thankfully, treatment for numbness and tingling is available at Back and Neck Pain Center in Clearwater, FL. Our chiropractor, Dr. Monte Venis, can diagnose the cause of your discomfort and offer the appropriate treatment to get you feeling normal again.

To discuss your concerns, or to get your treatment started, please contact our office at (727) 726-4743.

Numbness & Tingling: Another Term for Neuropathy

In many cases, ongoing numbness or tingling in your extremities is a sign of nerve damage. This can occur due to a traumatic injury, repetitive stress injury, bacterial or viral infection, systemic disease, or exposure to toxic substances.

This type of nerve damage is known as peripheral neuropathy because it affects the nerves furthest away from your spinal cord. Over 20 million Americans, most of them older adults, have this condition. If left untreated, peripheral neuropathy can decrease your mobility or even lead to total disability. This is why you should receive a prompt diagnosis and begin treatment for your numbness or tingling as soon as possible.

Causes of Numbness or Tingling in the Hands & Feet

Consider some of the most common reasons for tingling and numbness:

  • Diabetes and other systemic diseases, including kidney disorder, liver disease, chronic inflammation, hypothyroidism, and others
  • Nerve entrapment, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Injuries that crush, compress, or otherwise damage your nerves, including herniated discs or dislocated joints
  • Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and others
  • Vitamin deficiency or too much vitamin B6
  • Alcoholism, which can cause nerve damage or result in thiamine deficiency
  • Exposure to toxins such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and other harmful substances
  • Infections, including HIV/AIDS, Lyme disease, shingles, and herpes simplex

While one or more of these causes may apply to you, be aware that nearly one-third of peripheral neuropathy cases are idiopathic, meaning they have no known cause.

Treatments for Numbness or Tingling

The good news is that as long as your peripheral nerve cells haven’t been killed, they can regenerate. The precise treatment you should pursue depends on what’s causing your numbness or tingling.

For example, if you have diabetic neuropathy, controlling your blood sugar can improve your symptoms. If your numbness or tingling stems from a vitamin deficiency or alcoholism, getting your diet and drinking habits back on track can correct the problem.

When the cause is linked to spinal, muscular, or bone structure abnormalities, non-invasive chiropractic therapies are far safer and more effective than taking the opiate-derived pain-relief medications that far too many doctors prescribe their patients. Here are some of the treatments for numbness or tingling available at Back and Neck Pain Center:

  • Chiropractic manipulation
  • Electrical nerve stimulation
  • Physical therapy
  • Massage therapy
  • Lifestyle and nutritional advice
  • And more
