Paresthesia
Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching. Most people have experienced temporary paresthesia — a feeling of “pins and needles” — at some time in their lives when they have sat with legs crossed for too long, or fallen asleep with an arm crooked under their head. It happens when sustained pressure is placed on a nerve. The feeling quickly goes away once the pressure is relieved.

Causes of Paresthesia
Paresthesia is characterized by a sensation of numbness, tingling, burning, or prickling sensation in one or more of the extremities. This condition causes a loss of function and life enjoyment.

Vertebral Subluxation

Nerve Compression

Multiple Sclerosis

Fibromyalgia

Nutritional Deficiency
Vitamins E, B1, B6, B12, and niacin are essential for healthy nerve function. A B12 deficiency, for example, can lead to pernicious anemia, an important cause of peripheral neuropathy. However, too much B6 also can cause tingling in the hands and feet.

Diabetes

What People Are Saying…
I first met Dr Lewis as a result of positive word-of-mouth across various patients in my church community, several of whom were not the “type” of person I imagined to “believe” in chiropractic care. As a scientist and published medical researcher, Dr Lewis’ approach to care and treatment had the rigor of both subjective and quantitatively measurable results. The first appointment was about collecting and analyzing my data (motion scans, xrays and symptoms). Then, Dr Lewis went on to formulate and recommend a treatment plan along with intermittent goals that would be evaluated. I was able to see for myself the comparison of scans over the treatment journey that *aligned* with symptom relief and improved quality of life. His work with me made me join a community of folks who believe in him as a practitioner of chiropractic holistic CARE.
