Numbness and Tingling in Calgary NW
Numbness and tingling sensations in the body can, of course, be a cause for concern. At our clinic, we’ve seen plenty of cases where these symptoms are related to spinal alignment issues and degeneration of the spine.
Numbness and tingling can have many causes. Some are related to the spine, such as disc or joint changes affecting nerves that travel into the arms or legs, and others are not. A thorough assessment helps determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate, or whether you should be referred to your physician or another provider.

The Importance of Thorough Examination
Before deciding on a care plan, a thorough examination is important. We look at range of motion, check for soft tissue spasm or swelling, and do orthopedic and neurological tests. If clinically needed, we may take X-rays, which can provide additional information about the spine. This evaluation helps us decide whether chiropractic care is appropriate or whether a referral is needed.

Tailoring Care to Individual Needs
Every patient is unique, and so should be their care plan. A chiropractic session that addresses numbness and tingling is customized to each patient’s specific needs. The adjustment itself is catered to factors such as age, the extent of degeneration, and symptomatology.
Finding the right frequency for chiropractic care is essential, and it may look different for each individual. While some may experience positive changes quickly, others may require a more extended course of treatment to achieve their desired results. By working collaboratively with your chiropractor you can develop a treatment plan that aligns with your individual needs and promotes long-term well being.
