Numbness in limbs — Chiropractic care in Cupey, San Juan
That tingling in your hands, that leg that "falls asleep," that loss of feeling when gripping objects — numbness is almost always a sign that a nerve is under pressure somewhere along its path, often in the spine.
Common symptoms
- Tingling or "pins and needles" in arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Loss of feeling or clumsiness when gripping objects
- A limb that frequently "falls asleep"
- Burning or electric sensations running down the limb
- Weakness or heaviness in the affected arm or leg
How we help you
This is exactly why our clinic offers a complimentary Nerve Study for new patients: an advanced evaluation that helps identify the affected areas of your nervous system. Together with in-office digital X-rays, it lets us locate where the pressure on the nerve is.
With that information, Dr. Martínez designs a plan to reduce the compression — specific adjustments, traction when appropriate, and laser therapy for inflammation. Many patients report the tingling gradually easing as the nerve decompresses.
For seniors
Numbness in the hands or feet can affect grip, writing, and stability when walking — essential skills for a senior’s independent life. Our gentle, medication-free care addresses the cause of the compression to help you preserve feeling, strength, and confidence.
