Numbness and tingling sensations, often described as “pins and needles,” can be both uncomfortable and concerning.

Left untreated, numbness and tingling can disrupt daily activities and lead to more severe complications. At Dr. Soumya’s Physiotherapy and Rehab Clinic, we provide personalized, evidence-based treatments to address these symptoms effectively.

Understanding Numbness and Tingling
Numbness is the loss of sensation in a particular area, while tingling is a pricking or “pins and needles” feeling. These sensations often indicate nerve irritation or damage and can result from various underlying conditions. Physiotherapy can help alleviate these symptoms by improving nerve function, blood circulation, and muscular support.
Common Causes of Numbness and Tingling
Numbness and tingling can result from a variety of conditions, including:
Pinched Nerves
Compression of nerves in areas like the neck (cervical radiculopathy) or lower back (lumbar radiculopathy).
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Nerve compression in the wrist, leading to numbness in the hand.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Nerve damage caused by conditions like diabetes or vitamin deficiencies.
Herniated Disc
A bulging or slipped disc pressing on a spinal nerve.
Poor Blood Circulation
Reduced blood flow to the extremities due to conditions like Raynaud's disease.
Sciatica
Irritation of the sciatic nerve, causing tingling in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A neurological condition that affects nerve signals.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
Prolonged or repeated activities causing nerve compression or irritation.
Postural Issues
Poor posture leading to nerve impingement or muscle strain.
Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment and long-term relief.
