Numbness & Tingling

Numbness & Tingling Treatment in Plymouth, MN

We’ve all had a foot or hand "fall asleep" after sitting in an awkward position. But when that prickly, numb sensation happens frequently, persists for days, or shoots down your arm or leg without warning, it is a sign that your nervous system is under stress.

At Bomberg Chiropractic in Plymouth, Dr. Tom Bomberg helps Minnesotans stop these scary symptoms by tracing them back to the source. Whether it’s a pinched nerve in your neck causing hand numbness or a lower back issue affecting your feet, Dr. B uses gentle, non-invasive methods to relieve pressure and restore normal sensation.

Why Your Hands & Feet Tingle (It’s Usually Your Spine)

While you feel the symptoms in your fingers or toes, the problem rarely starts there. Numbness and tingling are frequently caused by Radiculopathy – a condition where a nerve is compressed as it exits the spine.

  • Numbness in hands/arms? Often caused by a misalignment or disc issue in the neck (cervical spine).
  • Numbness in legs/feet? Often stems from the lower back (lumbar spine), commonly known as sciatica.

Treating just the hand or foot often fails because the "kink in the hose" is actually up at the spine. Dr. Bomberg adjusts the spine to open those nerve pathways, allowing signals to flow freely again.

Common Conditions That Cause Numbness

Numbness is a warning light from your body. Dr. Bomberg treats several conditions where tingling is a primary symptom.

  • Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back that sends shooting pain or numbness deep into the glutes, legs, or feet.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: While often blamed solely on the wrist, this can be a "Double Crush" injury involving nerve irritation in both the neck and the wrist.
  • Tech Neck/Text Neck: Chronic forward head posture that compresses nerves in the upper neck, leading to tingling down the arms.
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Tight muscles in the shoulder and neck compressing nerves before they enter the arm.
  • Peripheral Neuropathy: While often diabetic, spinal adjustments can sometimes help manage symptoms by maximizing nervous system function.

How Dr. Bomberg Restores Sensation Naturally

When dealing with irritated nerves, aggressive treatment isn't the answer. Dr. Bomberg uses precision techniques and advanced chiropractic services to take pressure off the nerves safely.

The Activator Method

For patients experiencing nerve pain, the Activator instrument is ideal. It delivers a gentle, low-force impulse to correct spinal misalignments without the twisting or "cracking" that can make sensitive patients nervous. It is highly precise, targeting only the vertebrae causing the pinch.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

If your numbness is caused by a herniated or bulging disc pressing on a nerve root, spinal decompression is the gold standard for non-surgical relief. By gently stretching the spine on a motorized table, we create space for the disc to retract, instantly relieving the pressure on the nerve.

Movement Based Massage (Soft Tissue Therapy)

Sometimes the nerve is trapped by tight muscles or scar tissue (adhesions) rather than bone.

Dr. Bomberg uses specialized soft tissue release techniques to break up this fibrosis, freeing the nerve and restoring blood flow to the area.

Get Insurance-Friendly Care for Nerve Pain

Nerve testing and specialist visits can be expensive and slow. Dr. Bomberg offers an accessible, affordable first step. Bomberg Chiropractic is in-network with most major insurance providers, including Medica, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare.

If your numbness began after a car accident, your care is likely covered 100% by Minnesota’s no-fault auto insurance. And if you were hurt at work, you’re probably dealing with workers’ comp. No matter your situation, Dr. Bomberg handles the paperwork so you can focus on healing.
