Your brain and the world around you are linked through millions of sensory nerve fibers. Each fiber is very fragile. They transmit information required for your safety, balance and movement. Numb and tingling limbs indicate nerves that are not working properly. Often a Memphis chiropractor is able to correct the cause of this problem.

People describe numbness and tingling in many different ways. Some call it an arm going to sleep. Others describe the sensation as that of pins and needles. The cause of the problem is a nerve that is being impinged so it is no longer able to provide proper input to the brain.

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.

The spine is one of the more common locations for irritation of one's nerves. Subluxations or herniated discs allow nerves to be compressed. As a result, one might experience numbness along the arm or fingers. Impingements in the lower back result in hip problems as well as those affecting the leg and foot. Sometimes, the problem is felt in the limbs without affecting the back where the pinch takes place.

Chiropractors work to remove the impingement that is interfering with nerve function. The therapy used works without shots, surgery or invasive drugs. Once the spinal adjustment removes pressure, it begins the slow process of repairing itself.

Numbness and tingling affect many different body parts. Although the problem can be caused by diseases, including diabetes, a more frequent cause is impingement of nerves. With help from a Memphis chiropractor, the pinch is removed allowing the body's self healing processes to begin.
