What's Really Going On in Your Nervous System?
Think of your nerves like garden hoses. When they're kinked (from poor posture, injury, or compression), the "flow" gets disrupted. Here at our Windsor, WI office, we see this frequently in patients.
What causes this to happen?
While every patient in the Windsor-Madison area experiences different triggers, here are the most common ones we see in our office:
Nerve compression (like a garden hose with a kink)
Poor posture (Maybe from driving as a taxi taking your kids around Dane County)
Sleeping positions
Repetitive movements
Underlying spine issues
Why It Happens:
When your body is giving you any kind of signal, like numbness or tingling, it's really a warning sign that something isn't quite right. The numbness and tingling begins to present to try to get you to change up your position or help the nervous system get back on track. It's essentially screaming "please do something!" Numbness and tingling can progress into bigger problems, which is why it's important to get checked out at our office, even when symptoms first begin. But if you're one of those that want to wait it out until maybe it improves, keep these few warning signs in mind:
Signs You Shouldn't Keep Ignoring It:
Pins and needles sensations
Numbness that comes and goes
Weakness in grip strength
Pain between shoulder blades
Morning arm stiffness
