Numbness in Hands or Feet Relief in Rockvale, Murfreesboro TN
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet often points to nerve irritation somewhere along the pathway from the spine outward, whether from a compressed nerve root in the neck or lower back, or peripheral nerve damage. Identifying exactly where that irritation starts is the key to effective, targeted treatment.
Treating Numbness in Hands or Feet in Rockvale
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet often points to nerve irritation somewhere along the pathway from the spine outward, whether from a compressed nerve root in the neck or lower back, or peripheral nerve involvement. Identifying exactly where that irritation starts is the key to effective, targeted treatment. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years in Murfreesboro tracking down that root cause rather than just treating the symptom.
In Rockvale, the rural community southwest of Murfreesboro, we regularly see patients whose numbness symptoms developed gradually before finally prompting a visit.

Common Questions About Numbness in Hands or Feet in Rockvale
Common causes include nerve compression in the neck or lower back, peripheral neuropathy, and carpal or tarsal tunnel syndrome - a thorough exam helps narrow it down.
When the numbness stems from spinal nerve irritation, chiropractic care aimed at relieving that pressure can meaningfully improve symptoms.
Sudden numbness on one side of the body, especially with slurred speech or facial drooping, needs immediate emergency care - that's different from the gradual nerve-related numbness we typically treat.
