Numbness and tingling can be unsettling. Whether it feels like pins and needles in your hands, a burning sensation in your legs, or a loss of feeling in your feet, these symptoms are often a sign that something deeper is going on. For many patients, numbness and tingling can interfere with work, exercise, and even daily routines, leaving them frustrated and worried about their health.

​

At our office in Lacey, WA, chiropractor Dr. Kirk Hansen provides safe, effective care for patients experiencing numbness and tingling. With advanced training in chiropractic orthopedics, he looks beyond the surface symptoms to uncover the root cause and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

​

Common Causes of Numbness and Tingling

​

These symptoms can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:

​

• Nerve irritation or compression in the spine (such as a herniated or bulging disc)

• Sciatica or nerve pain radiating into the legs

• Carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist-related nerve irritation

• Poor posture creating stress on the spine and nerves

• Repetitive stress injuries

• Arthritis or joint degeneration affecting nerve pathways

• Auto accident or work-related injuries

Because numbness and tingling often signal nerve involvement, a complete exam is essential to identify the source.

​
