Tingling is a typical symptom of a foot, hand, or leg "falling asleep." Anyone who has fallen asleep on their hand or sat in the same posture for an extended period of time has felt a prickling feeling in their skin.
But what if the tingling has no apparent cause? There are a variety of causes for these symptoms, ranging from something as easy as taking too much vitamin B to more severe issues like multiple sclerosis and diabetes.
Many reasons may be remedied with medicine, exercise, and/or chiropractic therapy, fortunately. At ChiroSolutions Center, we'll assess your medical history and symptoms to see whether more testing is required and if you're a suitable candidate for drug-free, noninvasive chiropractic therapy for tingling.

Tingling in the fingertips is often caused by the fact that blood flow to the fingers travels a considerable distance. Because the veins delivering blood to the fingers begin all the way up at the neck, there are several possibilities for this blood flow to be cut off, such as when your arm is flexed for lengthy periods of time. If this occurs more often, a chiropractor might suggest daily exercises to help avoid and ease the problem.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Another reason of tingling in the hands, wrists, and forearms is carpal tunnel syndrome. People who labor at a computer for extended periods of time or who use their hands for repetitive chores sometimes suffer from repetitive stress injury (RSI).
The repeated movements of these activities might produce a pinched nerve in the carpals, which are the bones of the wrist. You may feel a shooting pain up your arm, tingling in your fingers, and hurting wrists if this occurs.
While most tingling problems aren't life-threatening, the feeling may be a sign of some disorders, and early detection can help avoid additional harm. Tingling is usually more concerning when it occurs in conjunction with other symptoms such as headaches, visual difficulties, or movement concerns, all of which might be signs of a stroke.
Tingling in the feet, particularly when accompanied by increased urine and thirst, might indicate high blood sugar. If you suffer any of these symptoms in addition to tingling, you should seek medical attention right once.
