Can a chiropractor help with pins and needles feeling?

My daughter wants to see a chiropractor for her leg aches. I wonder if chiropractors can help with pins and needles feeling?

Pins and needles are paresthesias caused commonly by pinched nerves. Chiropractic Adjustments alleviate paresthesias, and neuropathies.
That’s a common symptom of nerve irritation and chiropractors are nerve doctors that often get great results with ‘pins and needles.’
Yes, chiropractic can help relieve the pins and needles, an examination/evaluation and history is important to find the underlying cause, in addition to X-rays and/or MRI imaging.
Thank you.
The pins and needles can be either pressure on nerves, circulatory, or both. Chiropractors detect and correct such impingement and allow nerves and circulation to improve.
Hope it helped!

Got your back!

Absolutely. The pins and needles feeling is either from nerve irritation or vascular insufficiency. Schedule an appointment with a good chiropractic physician and have a thorough examination performed to determine the cause of the symptoms. Once an accurate diagnosis is attained, a proper treatment plan should be followed.

Take care and be well,

Yes, we can help with that. It's nerve related, possibly a pinched nerve.
Typically, pins and needle feeling is some form of pressure on a nerve, which chiropractic usually helps with.

Hope she feels better soon,

Many patients do get relief from chiropractic care, but not everyone. It depends on what the cause is.
Hi there,

Sorry to hear your daughter is experiencing that; chiropractic can definitely help with those symptoms, though! If it were me, I'd find a chiropractor that takes X-rays to find out what's causing the pins and needles and then go from there.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes, depending on the cause.
Yes they can. Those feelings are related to peripheral nerve dysfunction which can be treated with Chiropractic.
Sorry to hear that your daughter is experiencing leg aches. Pins and needles type pain is typically pointing to a nerve problem, which is what chiropractors work with. We work directly with the nervous system to take pressure and stress off of nerves so that your body can function at its best.
