Is it normal to feel tingling and numbness after chiropractic adjustment?
Q: Why do newborns get adjustments?A: The birth process, no matter how natural, can affect an infant's spine. Some studies suggest that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infection or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal distress. Newborns also become subluxated in the same physical, emotional or chemical ways an adult does as well. An infant is also examined very carefully to determine if there is a subluxation and, if needed, receives a gentle Gonstead adjustment involving very little pressure.Q: Do I have a slipped disk?A: No. The disc is a cartilage pad between each of your spinal vertebra that aides in your spine's connection, flexibility, movement, weight bearing & shock absorbing ability. Motion in your spine produces a pumping action to each disc allowing nutrients to enter and waste to be expelled. Because of spinal subluxations or severe trauma a disc can bulge, swell, tear, herniate, thin, dry out or collapse BUT it's can't actually "slip" out from between the spinal bones it serves. The Gonstead Chiropractor pays special attention to your disc health. The Drs. gently corrects the misaligned vertebra and restores it to a proper position in relationship to the disc, allowing the disc to heal.Q: How many adjustments will I need?A: Many patients are concerned about having to come in all the time for Chiropractic care. In our office we realize that each individual is different, and your care is tailored specifically to your level of acuteness. When beginning Chiropractic care in an acute condition, you may need to be adjusted more often in a short period of time to begin the healing process. Every patient responds differently to care, but in general our goal is to get to the root of the problem quickly and leave it alone to heal. The Drs. will give you specific recommendations but usually suggest periodic evaluations to maintain proper spinal health. Each visit builds on the next, so remain hopeful... we are!Know more information see this YouTube Video i think its help you : Best Sacramento Chiropractor Reviews Call us today! (916) 245-8337
What could cause numbness in my hands?
First of all- While carpal tunnel is a cause of hand numbness it is NOT the most common cause of hand numbness. First, you mentioned that it is in your hands (i.e plural). It is very unusual for Carpal tunnel to manifest in both hands at the same time. Secondly, You did not mention a specific area of numbness. If it is the whole hand- It is not carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel will be primarily the thumb, index and middle fingers. Ulnar tunnel will be the pinkie and 4th finger. The most common cause of hand numbness is 1 of the following 2 causes. 1) Neck misalignment- If your neck is misaligned, it can cause nerve impingement (pinching) and cause numbness and weakness down your arm. Your hands will be the part of your arm that will experience it first. 2) Tight pec muscles - If you have really tight pec muscles, your shoulders will be pulled forward causing nerve and circulation problems. This can be relieved by 2 things. The first is a doorway pec stretch (you can look up on the internet how to do). And the second is to get some flexible sports tape. Sit up in a good posture. Then have someone go to the middle of your back and place a piece of tape on your shoulder blades (between your middle and upper back) Then stretch the tape toward the middle of your back. Do this on both sides (make sure the tape is going to stay in place. You should be able to reach forward, but will feel like the tape wants to pull you back. This will retrain the muscles in your middle back to start firing properly. WIthin 1-2 days, you should have relief from the numbess in your hands. Btw, as a chiropractic intern, I saw over 20 patients with symptoms like you described. Not one of them had carpal tunnel and all of them got better with either a neck adjustment or the taping. I wish you the best.
Left Arm numbness/left side cramps right under rib cage.?
Absolutely - be concerned...before your next strenuous run - see your Doctor...be very specific about what you're experiencing when you describe your symptoms to him. OK, now that you're scared to death realize that it's probably just cramping due to lack of rest, over exercising, not enough water, your body needing a vitamin or mineral your not providing or just sleeping the wrong way, but it's always better to be safe than sorry...now back to scaring you - you want to have your Doctors approval so you don't prove to be the exception to the rule and drop dead of a heart attack at 14 years of age... If you haven't let your parents know you're having this problem you should - this is probably nothing that stretching (before and after), plenty of water, a daily multivitamin, adequate rest, and a couple hundred milligrams of ibuprofin wont fix, but you don't need to mess around with these kinds of symptoms. Get Better and good health!
Numbness taking over right side of body?
"Since it is obvious I am concerned and motivated to find treatment/cure I am desperately looking online for people who have posted personal stories relating to my symptoms but I don't know if I am wasting my time." You are wasting your time. Anecdotal evidence can only lead you astray. I would guess organic brain causes in your case, probably unrelated to your fall. You may be making an ad hoc fallacy mistake, attributing the symptoms to the fall just because they happened one after the other. Look up TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) The warning signs of a TIA are exactly the same as for a stroke: Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
What would cause my arms to be numb when I wake up? I usually have to move around for a bit to regain feeling.
The angle/orientation of your head and neck at rest may cause the adverse reaction you’re describing.It may take practice and awareness to identify the cause. Whatever the cause, it’s unkikely to be a simple quick fix. Try to garner awareness around the head and neck when waking. Is there articulation of the beck impinging the cervical spine? A (slightly) herniated disc in the cervical spine can relate symptoms of numbness to the upper extremities, arms and fingers..Took a long time to recognize where the pain/numbness was coming from in my arms (left shoulder) and upper extremities. Dr.’s, MRI, X-ray, all resulted inconclusive but for a slightly herniated bulge (C-3,4)..through yoga (as therapy) and development of muscles in the upper back the relief/recovery has slowly been realized. Emphasizing again, the recovery is slow. There’s a systemic issue at hand in my case. Through deliberate observation and physical alignment correction muscles which were underdeveloped are now developed and much, not all the ailments have subsided.Patience and sticktoitiveness are essential to getting this corrected. In the search for relief, the use of acupuncture, chiropractic, and physical therapies provided short-term relief. For me and in my case, what worked was when I heeded the advice of someone with a strong knowledge of anatomy and physiology. The ability to observe my posture and the way I held myself while in rest or different phases of motion lead to a prescription of movements to strengthen areas related in causation to numbness in my upper extremities.
Frequent numbness in my feet, legs and arms?
About 2-3 weeks ago I began having these symptoms. I will be standing in the shower and suddenly my right leg will start numbing up. I'll be sitting down on the couch and my left arm starts numbing up. Sometimes I sit on the floor indian style and one of my legs will numb up on me. Sometimes when I'm laying in bed I have trouble sleeping because my legs will become numb and my feet get stiff. What could be causing this? Can anyone help me?? Do I need to go see a dr about this?
Arms and legs go numb while sleeping ?
Hey everyone I'm having some trouble sleeping because my limbs go numb and wake me. Unfortunately I don't have access to a doctor so I'm trying to get some thoughts and opinions here. This started about a year ago. When I fall asleep my arms would go numb. Sometimes I would be sleeping on my back with no pressure on either arm and they both go numb. Once I woke up and I was sleeping on my side and the side of my face went numb. Recently my legs have been going numb. Whatever side I sleep on that leg will go numb even with no to little pressure on it. Not sure if this is related but I noticed this started happening when I started to cut back on drinking. Usually after a few drinks I can sleep with this not happening or being very minor. I thought about taking aspirin to help with circulation at night but I heard that can be bad for you if you don't need it. I used to get chest pains sometimes too but they would go away with mild exercise which doesn't seem to indicate any heart problems. haven't had the chest pains in months but the numbness still frequently happens seems like I can only sleep on my back now with my arms to the side of me. I also can see the veins in my neck throbbing all the time which I never seen before. I check my blood pressure a few times a week but it is always great. I used to have low blood pressure but I think that went away. I'm not sure but I think this is related to me being a heavy drinker for 10 years. Now I'm down to about once a twice a week and sometimes weeks in between drinking.
