Numbness, especially in your extremities, can be distressing because we depend so much on our hands and feet. When they don’t work as we expect, we limit our pace of life or curtail activities altogether. Obvious symptoms are loss of or significantly diminished sensation in affected bodily areas.
Causes of numbness are many and various, including:
- Arthritis
- Injuries (e.g., broken bone, strained joint)
- Poor posture
- Heart, nerve and spinal problems
- Diseases (e.g., cancer, MS, diabetes)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Numbness caused other than by disease can be treated by correcting the underlying condition. Again, instead of medication, relaxing the affected areas allows correction of any misalignment and promotes healing. Proper posture, exercise and nutrition allow the body to heal and prevent recurrence.
