Do You Have Numbness or Poor Circulation in Your Hands or Feet?

Numbness anywhere is caused by a problem to your nerves. All nerves in our bodies start with the brain and spinal column. So this is the first place we look.

Your numbness in your arms is most likely coming from the nerve being squeezed in your neck. The nerves down our arms come from the neck vertebra (Cervical C5, C6, C7 and C8) which is the lower neck before your ribs start. Many people will wake at night because their head and neck position decreased the space for the nerve. It often gets better with change of position or also rubbing your shoulder and neck muscles.  Lots of people can create the problem from a lot of computer work or posture with their head hanging forward for long periods.

We can diagnose this by checking nerve strength in different fingers. We know from anatomy which nerves innervate which fingers. We treat it with whole spine balancing, resetting the muscles in the neck & shoulder and special lasers that stimulate regeneration of the nerves. If you haven’t had the problem very long, you may be resolved in one treatment! The longer you have had the problem, the more treatments needed to resolve it. You could also have a non-local complaint in your shoulder, elbow wrist and/or hands. We check and correct all this.

If you have numbness or decreased control in your feet and toes, it is often the same problem, but it starts in your low back (lumbar vertebra).  All the nerves (and the nerves control the muscles) in your hips and legs come from your lumbar spine (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 & sacrum). We can test which muscles are weak and know which nerve roots we need to treat. We also put you on exercises and discuss your life habits to see if you can prevent recurrence.

Circulation of blood and lymph is the other major contributing problem that can cause numbness or discoloration of hands and feet. Decreased blood flow can make your skin go white or purple.

Raynaud’s disease is a circulation problem that causes the hands to go white below your knuckles. Our circulation has automatic shut-off valves that will save blood for our heart and internal organs. If there isn’t enough circulation it is usually aggravated by cold. This is a sign your circulation has been compromised with sludge in your arteries and veins. This is a slow, long term buildup which is a warning sign NOT TO BE IGNORED! Because it is probably throughout your entire body.

For circulation problems, we adjust the spine and joints, then treat the sludge by prescribing Crataegus (Hawthorn flowers) which acts like little soap scrubbers to remove the plaquing. Then we look at your body organ system to diagnose which need help. You may need Magnesium (which relaxes arteries and most people are deficient). You may need vitamin K7 (which helps keep calcium in your bones and not in your arteries). You may need something to stimulate nitrous oxide (which widens arteries) or something to naturally thin your blood by dissolving extra fibrin (works even better than aspirin without the potential side effects of bleeding in your gut).

Be aware! Pain, coldness, numbness in your hands and feet SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED!
