Numbness
Pain and numbness can have
a number of causes. One of the most common
factors is pressure on the spinal nerves in
the neck and upper back areas which supply
nerve energy to the arms and hands. Spinal
nerve pressure may be the result of old
injuries such as falls, blows, or whiplash.
This pressure on the nerves can be
intensified or made worse by combinations of
physical and emotional stress.
The pressure on spinal nerves can be so
slight that the individual may be
totally unaware of it until the pressure is
increased due to stress involving
the neck and shoulder muscles.
While temporary relief may be obtained by
relaxing the muscles with therapy or drugs,
the most effective and long-lasting relief
will come from gentle spinal adjustments to
relieve the pressure on the nerves.
