“Does physical therapy help in treating pins and needles pain?”
The pain in my legs and feet literally feel like pins and needles, and I often feel very uncomfortable. Should I try physical therapy to get rid of this pain? I don't really get it often, but I feel like I get it enough to want it taken care of.

Pins and needles sensations, often caused by nerve compression or poor circulation, can sometimes be alleviated through physical therapy. A therapist can assess your posture, movement patterns, and any underlying issues affecting nerve function, then guide you through exercises to improve mobility, relieve pressure on nerves, and enhance circulation. While physical therapy can be effective, it's important to first consult a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the sensation and ensure an appropriate treatment plan.
Yes, physical therapy can definitely help with those kinds of symptoms. Sounds like it may be coming from the lower back potentially even and working on a general exercise plan can help alleviate the short term and prevent it from coming back in the long term.
Physical therapy can help to determine the cause. An assessment would consist of your therapist checking the different systems impacted and contributing to the areas where you are experiencing the nerve pain. More information is always great so if you do see a PT try to let them know any activities that create or make the pain worse. It will help determine the primary location being spine, muscle, or mechanics. All the best
I think you have a condition called peripheral neuropathy. There are a lot of causes for this condition, the most common is diabetes. I'm not sure if you are diabetic. Physically therapy will definitely help, and in addition, you need to see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis.
Yes, PT with dry needling will be helpful.
Absolutely!! My practice is very successful in treating this condition.
Yes, find a physical therapist that is manual based with combinations of functional plane motions.
What you are describing is a nerve sign. Meaning the nerve in your legs is irritated. A PT can help decrease the intensity and sometimes even alleviate these symptoms. Best of luck.
You should see your primary care doctor first to rule out other stuff like diabetes. Though a physical therapist can test for neuropathy in your legs
This does sound like something with which physical therapy could help. I recommend scheduling an assessment to evaluate your needs.
Yes, I would try physical therapy, especially since it is conservative and there really are no side effects. Find a therapist who understands referred pain from lumbar spine, poor neural dynamics, and can rule out red flags. The faster you treat something, the faster it goes away.
