What causes numbness and tingling in the hands?
If the numbness and tingling feelings are limited to the fingers and hands, the cause could be carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a condition that is caused by compression to the median nerve that crosses the wrist. Carpal tunnel is most often caused by repetitive use of the hands in an extended position, such as typing on a keyboard. It can be caused from a pinched nerve in the neck, which is where the median nerve originates. Try a Chiropractor in Springfield, VA that has several techniques which can treat the many causes of numbness and tingling, from spinal decompression therapy to cold laser therapy, the Graston technique, and the active release technique, which works with deep tissue and specific movements to relax tight muscles, free up range of motion and relieve pinched nerves non-surgically.
