Numbness And Tingling Treatment & Relief Ireland

We Treat Numbness And Tingling In Dublin, Ireland

Numbness and tingling are not only uncomfortable, but they can be debilitating at times.

If you’re experiencing numbness or tingling in your arms, legs, or face, it could be caused by a variety of conditions including injury to the nerves themselves. Depending on the cause, there may be treatment options that can help.

This blog post will cover all the treatments we offer here at Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy for people with numbness and tingling.

What Causes Numbness And Tingling?

Numbness and tingling sensations can be caused by a number of reasons. Numbness often begins in the arms or legs, which can progress to the fingers or toes. The most likely reason for numbness and tingling is pressure on your nerves – either from a herniated disc, inflammation of the joints of the spine, or muscle stiffness (i.e piriformis syndrome).

If you are experiencing numbness or tingling it is important to consult a medical professional to ensure numbness is not a sign of something more serious or prevent the condition from worsening.

Seek urgent medical care (GP, A&E, or call 112/999) if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or buttocks, progressive leg or arm weakness, or pain with fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or breathlessness.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Numbness And Tingling?

Dublin Chiropractic care may help some people with numbness and tingling. After an examination, we can advise whether your symptoms may be coming from your spine, or whether you should see your GP.

What Else Causes Numbness And Tingling?

Some serious reasons why someone might have these feelings may be diabetes, multiple sclerosis, a seizure disorder, or a stroke. For this reason, it is important to have new or unexplained numbness and tingling checked by your GP.

However, as we have mentioned before, in many cases, these sensations in your arms and legs are the result of something a little less serious. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome or migraines are typical sources. Another common cause is a pinched nerve. When blood flow is restricted because of a pinched nerve, you could experience an uncomfortable tingling or numb feeling in your hands, legs, ext.

Physical Therapy Care In Dublin, Ireland

Physical therapy treatment for numbness and tingling can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, physiotherapists will begin with a thorough examination of your movement patterns to determine if there is altered body mechanics or muscle imbalance that could contribute to numbness and tingling.

We then carry out manual therapy techniques such as massage therapy/deep tissue release and joint mobilisations, aimed at easing tight muscles and stiff joints.

We also implement an individually tailored treatment plan with both supervised and home exercises aimed at improving overall function at work or during daily or sporting activities.

Exercise therapy may help by improving the flexibility of the affected joints, nerves and muscles, and can include balance and coordination work where needed.
