Do you suffer from a numb feeling in your toes? This can be very distressing and hinder you from performing daily activities. On this page, you can read more about the causes of numbness in the toes and the care the chiropractor can provide in this regard.
We speak of numbness in the toes when you have decreased sensation in your toes or even numbness. A numb feeling in the toes is often accompanied by tingling. In most cases, the numbness is annoying but does not cause severe pain.
Many people have experienced numbness and tingling in the toes when it is very cold outside. The deaf feeling then goes away on its own when you get into a warmer environment.
However, it can also be the case that the numb feeling in the toes occurs just like that. This is a warning from the body that something is going on.
A numb feeling in the toes can have many different causes. In most cases, the cause is a pinched nerve. The human body consists of a large amount of nerves.
These nerves are the basis of signal transmission in our body. When nerves become pinched, they can no longer perform their function properly and symptoms such as numbness develop.
A pinched nerve occurs when the nerve is given less space than it needs to function properly. Some common causes of a pinched nerve that result in numbness in the toes will be explained further here.
Wearing shoes that are too small or too narrow creates pressure on the nerves of the foot and toes. This pressure on the nerves can cause symptoms. The symptoms then disappear some time after removing the shoes.
Incorrect foot position can cause you to have less room in your shoes. In addition, this foot position can cause an imbalance between the structures in the foot, giving the nerves too little space.
A herniated disc in the back can also cause symptoms in the toes. This may sound unlikely at first, but is understandable when the anatomy of the nerves is considered. All nerves originate from the spinal cord. This is a bundle of nerves in the back from where signals are sent and received. Thus, the nerves that run to the toes originate in the lower back. A herniated disc involves a bulging of an intervertebral disc. This can cause pressure on the nerves leading to the toes.
Do you suffer from a numb feeling in your toes? The chiropractor can help you with this. Before starting treatment, the chiropractor will schedule an introductory consultation with you. During this consultation, the possible causes of your symptoms will be discussed and the chiropractor will perform a physical examination.
With the information from the first appointment, the chiropractor draws up a treatment plan This care plan is different for each person. Treatment may involve restoring balance between structures in the spine or toes, allowing adequate space for the nerves again. In addition, the chiropractor can give advice on wearing the right shoes to suit your posture and foot position.
