Numbness and tingling are sensations that you may feel in your hands, feet, arms, or legs. In most cases, they are harmless. However, if they persist, they can indicate a more serious problem. Here at Dallas Spine Center in Carrollton, TX, Dr. Hoa Nguyen will only treat these conditions after a thorough evaluation.
You might notice numbness and tingling after sitting too long in one position. However, if they happen without an obvious cause, they may indicate irritated or compressed nerves along your spine.
What Causes Numbness and Tingling
Numbness and tingling often feel like pins and needles. They may affect any part of your body. The cause may depend on where you feel it. For instance, if it’s caused by prolonged sitting or standing, you will feel the numbness and tingling in your buttocks or legs. Other causes may include herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, vitamin B deficiencies, or insect bites. They may also be the result of poor circulation or underlying nerve dysfunction. Dr. Hoa Nguyen will evaluate your case to determine the real reason for your numbness and tingling.

What to Expect at Your Visit
Dr. Hoa Nguyen doesn’t guess at the best treatment for your numbness and tingling. Instead, he performs a thorough physical examination during your first visit. This is to evaluate your spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal structure. He may also assess your posture, spinal alignment, and range of motion. To help him better understand your condition, he may request X-rays so he can have a detailed picture of your spine. He will also investigate your health history, assess your functional movement, and evaluate your reflexes, muscle strength, and sensations in the affected area. From there, he can tailor your plan. The plan considers your unique situation to ensure that your care is targeted to the root cause of numbness and tingling. Your first visit may last up to 60 minutes. But your succeeding visits are much shorter.
