Tingling, Numbness, and Nerve Pain? Here's How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Tingling, Numbness, and Nerve Pain? Here's How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Ever felt pins and needles in your hands or feet out of nowhere? Maybe your leg randomly goes numb, or you get that electric-zap feeling in your back or arm. Yeah, I’ve heard it all—and let me tell you, you’re not alone.

I’m Dr. Edward McNamara, but most folks around here call me Dr. Mac. I’m a chiropractor, a proud military veteran, and the guy behind McNamara Health & Wellness in Wesley Chapel. I help people like you find relief from that annoying, sometimes scary, nerve pain and tingling—without meds or surgery.

Let’s break it down, the simple way.

What Causes Nerve Pain and Tingling?

Tingling, burning, numbness, or weakness—these sensations are usually tied to irritated or pinched nerves. The culprit? It’s often hiding in plain sight: your spine.

Here are a few common causes I see in the office:

 ✅ Herniated Discs – When the soft center of a spinal disc bulges or slips, it can press on nearby nerves.
✅ Spinal Misalignment – If your spine is out of whack, it can irritate nerve roots.
✅ Poor Posture – Hunched over phones or desks can stress your neck and upper back.
✅ Sciatica – That’s when your sciatic nerve (the longest one in your body) gets pinched.
✅ Repetitive Strain – Typing, driving, or even sleeping the wrong way can do it.

When a nerve gets pinched, it can send mixed-up signals to the brain—causing those weird sensations in your hands, arms, legs, or feet.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Nerve Pain

You don’t need to live with tingling or numbness forever. At McNamara Health & Wellness, I take a holistic approach to treating nerve pain—meaning I don’t just focus on where it hurts, but why it’s happening in the first place.

Here’s what chiropractic care can do for nerve pain:

✅ 1. Realign the Spine

Chiropractic adjustments take pressure off nerves by restoring proper spinal alignment. Less pressure = less pain.

✅ 2. Improve Nerve Communication

When your spine is aligned, your nervous system can send signals clearly. That means less tingling and more normal function.

✅ 3. Reduce Inflammation

I use gentle techniques to calm inflamed tissues that could be irritating nearby nerves.

✅ 4. Restore Mobility

If your body’s been stiff, slow, or compensating for pain, we’ll work together to get you moving again—safely and comfortably.

✅ 5. Help You Avoid Meds or Surgery

Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free solution to pain management. No side effects, no downtime—just real results.

Conditions I Treat That Cause Nerve Pain

At my Wesley Chapel clinic, I regularly treat patients with:

• Sciatica
• Herniated or Bulging Discs
• Pinched Nerves

If you’ve got pain, tingling, or numbness in your arms, shoulders, hands, legs, or feet, there’s a good chance chiropractic care can help.
