Numbness and tingling can result from nerve compression, which chiropractors can specifically target. Abnormal spine curvature, known as subluxations, can impact nerve pathways, leading to not only back pain but also numbness and tingling due to their effect on the nervous system.
A skilled chiropractor can address these subluxations and provide advice on preventing their recurrence. Factors like poor posture and stress can contribute to various back problems that result in numbness and tingling.
