Numbness and Tingling Care in Brampton
It’s common to feel a limb “fall asleep” occasionally. But if tingling or numbness becomes frequent, it may signal a deeper issue related to the nerves or circulation. At Dusk Physiotherapy, our Brampton physiotherapists and chiropractors work with patients to understand what’s causing the discomfort and to create care plans that focus on restoring function and improving mobility.
Common Causes of Numbness and Tingling
Tingling or numb sensations often arise when nerves are pinched, inflamed, or receive inadequate blood flow—commonly referred to as “pins and needles.” Some of the most common reasons include:
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Pinched nerves in the neck or lower back
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sciatica
- Herniated discs
- Diabetes and other health conditions
For some, these sensations come and go. For others, the condition persists and begins to interfere with daily routines. Early attention makes it easier to manage the source of the problem before it progresses.
Impact on Daily Activities
When tingling occurs in the extremities, tasks like writing, walking, or lifting may feel awkward or unstable, affecting both mobility and coordination. When left unaddressed, ongoing numbness and tingling can worsen, sometimes leading to muscle weakness or reduced coordination. Adults tend to experience these problems more often due to posture habits, repetitive work tasks, or spinal changes, though children may also be affected.
Physiotherapy and Chiropractic Approaches to Relief
Physiotherapy may include exercises, manual therapy, and posture retraining to ease nerve pressure. Chiropractic care focuses on improving joint function, which may help reduce pressure on nerves and support overall mobility. Some patients report reduced tingling after care, often when combined with other lifestyle and wellness approaches.
Massage therapy may also be used to release tight muscles, while acupuncture and orthotics can provide added relief. Lifestyle guidance, such as changes to desk setups, sleep positions, or activity habits, helps prevent symptoms from returning.
Our Whole-Body Approach
When patients come in with numbness and tingling, we look at the whole body. Often, small changes in alignment, posture, or movement patterns can make a big difference in reducing symptoms and restoring function.Dr. Terry Agayby, Chiropractor
