Pins & Needles in the hands when you wake up is not uncommon and the condition often disappears within an hour. For some however, the pins & needles sensation is persistent, can come and go at other times of the day and is sometimes accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, loss of balance and even temporary blackouts.
This can be very worrying for anyone experiencing this problem and diagnosis can be difficult with the patient hearing differing answers from different practitioners.
This may sound obvious but when people take various prescription drugs to mask the symptoms this does little to curb the problem in the long term.
Simply put, the cause must be found and corrected.
To help find the cause of your pain we offer the following:
- Full Consulatation with a Doctor of Chiropractic
- Through Examination with Neurological, Orthopeadic & Blood Pressure Tests
- Spinal Scans
- Digital Foot Scans
- Postural Analysis
- X-Rays (if necessary)
- A Verbal Report of our Findings
After this, you should know more about your body and the problems you are experiencing.
Whether you go ahead with treatment is as always entirely your decision. If the care you require is outside of our scope, we will recommend you to the relevant healthcare professional.
