What Is Chronic Numbness? 

This condition -- known as peripheral neuropathy -- can occur in anyone; however, it tends to affect older populations more than individuals under the age of forty. Chronic numbness can manifest in a few different ways, ranging from loss of feeling to pins and needles or tingling. It typically presents in the feet but can affect hands or even the arms and legs. To diagnose a patient, a variety of tests may be performed to rule out serious health issues that could be the culprit. 

Common Causes Of Chronic Numbness 

According to WebMD, one of the most common causes of frequently occurring numbness is diabetes. Up to 30% of peripheral neuropathy cases can be linked to diabetes. Other causes of this condition include nerve entrapment syndromes like carpal tunnel syndrome, hormonal imbalances, kidney and liver disorders, vitamin deficiencies, toxic exposure, chemotherapy, infections like Lyme disease, and autoimmune diseases. A complete medical examination is necessary to determine if any major disease is causing the neuropathy. However, in 40% of cases, the cause of chronic numbness is unknown. 

How Our Tallahassee Chiropractor Can Help 

If the root cause of the neuropathy is known, treatment for it can reduce or even eliminate feelings of numbness. However, numbness may persist despite traditional treatment or there may be few treatments available if the cause remains unknown. 

Chiropractic care is an all-natural treatment that can help patients with chronic numbness get relief, especially when the numbness is caused by nerve entrapment syndrome. Manipulation of the spine and extremities can alleviate pressure on pinched nerves, reduce inflammation, and restore blood flow to areas experiencing numbness. Additionally, when the spine is aligned properly, the body's own healing mechanisms are augmented, which improves overall health and wellness. Many patients who undergo regular chiropractic care for peripheral neuropathy report a great deal of relief from their symptoms. 

Magnolia Wellness Center is a multidisciplinary practice that offers a variety of natural healing modalities, including physical medicine and rehabilitation.
