Tingling feet are almost always a signal of nervous system disruption. The tingling can make you uncomfortable walking or lying awake in bed at night.
The tingling can even become painful and cause you to lose feeling in parts of the foot or toes. Complaints such as cold (or just burning) feet can also sometimes occur.
We want to tell you more about how we in our practice help people with these complaints. We view chiropractic care as care that is not just focused on symptoms, but on sustained health promotion. As a result, we do not treat conditions, but rather enable your body to recover sustainably.
Most people know that chiropractors are preeminent experts in the field of a healthy nervous system. Chiropractors do this by making sure there are no subluxations around the spine.
Chiropractors, however, are capable of many more things. We as chiropractors want to help you get or maintain optimal health. To do this, we use dozens of techniques.
With tingling feet, the cause is far from always a disturbance around the spine. Therefore, a thorough chiropractic examination should always be performed first to determine the source of the symptoms.
Therefore, we start with an examination of the cause of the symptoms. This may include a physical examination and an interview. When we deem it necessary to use a chiropractic scan, we use that as well.
This examination gives us the information we need to determine why you are having symptoms.
Tingling or numbness, often indicate nerve disruption. When a nerve runs undisturbed through the body, this nerve connects the central nervous system to the body.
From the nerves running from the brain to the body, the control of our body is communicated. Nerves running from the body to the brain allow information to be sent from the body to the brain.
When a nerve is damaged*, irritated or compressed, it cannot transmit information undisturbed. As a result, the signal sent by the nerve becomes distorted and disrupted. As a result, you may experience a tingling or numb sensation.
So a tingling sensation in the feet is a signal that a disturbance is present in the part of the nervous system that runs between the feet and the brain.
This disruption can be in many places. For example, this spot may be where the nerve leaves the spinal cord. We call this a subluxation, because in this situation there is a vertebra that is not balanced.
It could also be that a peripheral nerve is pinched or damaged in your leg or foot. Finally, there may also be intoxications or nutritional deficiencies that cause a problem with the nervous system.
Proper examination is therefore essential for proper care. Once we have clarity on the symptoms, we will start targeted care.
Thus, how we design our care depends entirely on the cause found. In some cases, it is necessary to balance vertebrae. Other cases involve entrapment of a nerve in the foot or an intoxication that blocks the nervous system.
Wherever your symptoms arise, we want to help you regain full health. This means that our care is not just focused on treating symptoms, but that we will use all of our knowledge and expertise to help you become optimally healthy (again).
