Numbness and Tingling: Finding the Source
Numbness in your hands or tingling in your legs is your nervous system sending an urgent signal. At Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Cameron Gentile specializes in tracing these neurological symptoms back to their spinal origin.
Common Causes
- Cervical spine compression → numbness in hands, fingers, arms
- Lumbar nerve compression → leg numbness, tingling, weakness
- Thoracic outlet syndrome → arm and hand symptoms
- Carpal tunnel syndrome → wrist-level nerve compression
The Double Crush Phenomenon
Many patients with hand numbness have nerve compression at two points — both the cervical spine AND the wrist. This explains why carpal tunnel surgery sometimes fails.
