Treatment for Numbness and Tingling in St. Petersburg
Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensations in the limbs may start off as mild irritations but can quickly become disruptive to daily life. These symptoms are often signs of nerve involvement that shouldn’t be ignored. Dr. Desulme provides gentle, targeted chiropractic care to address spinal misalignments and nerve interference that may be contributing to these sensations, without drugs or surgery.
What Causes Numbness and Tingling?
When a nerve is compressed or irritated—whether in the spine or an extremity—it cannot send signals properly. This can lead to tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness. Common contributors include herniated or bulging discs, spinal misalignments, pinched nerves in the neck or lower back, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome, poor posture, and repetitive strain.
If left unaddressed, these symptoms may worsen, potentially leading to chronic nerve damage. Seeking care early is key to preventing long-term issues.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Our approach goes beyond easing symptoms. We focus on restoring healthy nervous system function so your body can heal and adapt more effectively.
Spinal Adjustments to Relieve Nerve Interference
Dr. Desulme uses precise, gentle chiropractic adjustments to target areas of the spine where nerves may be compressed, especially in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions. Restoring alignment helps relieve pressure and improve nerve communication.
Posture and Alignment Correction
Poor posture, prolonged sitting, or repetitive activities can create ongoing pressure on spinal nerves. We evaluate your alignment and provide tailored guidance to reduce stress on your nervous system over time.
Support for Specific Conditions
Whether your symptoms are linked to sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, or postural strain, chiropractic care can play a role in reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and supporting long-term function.
