Can Chiropractic Help With Numbness or Tingling in the Legs or Feet?

If you’re experiencing a strange pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, or tingling in your legs or feet, you’re not alone—and you’re right to be concerned. These symptoms can be signs of nerve compression in the spine or other musculoskeletal imbalances. The good news? Chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive way to address the root causes of nerve irritation and restore proper function.

At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, PA, we help patients from Havertown, Drexel Hill, and surrounding areas find lasting relief from numbness and nerve pain using chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and cutting-edge therapies like SoftWave and radial shockwave therapy.

What Causes Numbness and Tingling in the Legs or Feet?

There are several potential reasons for these symptoms, but the most common causes we see in our office include:

  • Herniated or bulging discs pressing on spinal nerves
  • Sciatica (compression or inflammation of the sciatic nerve)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal misalignments affecting nerve pathways
  • Muscle tightness or inflammation putting pressure on nerves

When nerves are irritated, inflamed, or compressed, they can’t send clear signals to your lower extremities—leading to numbness, tingling, or even weakness.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Nerve Compression

Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct spinal misalignments, which are a major source of nerve irritation. At our office, we use gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and improve the body’s ability to function naturally.

When combined with spinal decompression therapy, we can gently stretch and relieve pressure on compressed spinal discs—particularly useful for patients with sciatica, disc herniations, or degenerative disc disease.

Spinal Decompression for Numbness and Tingling in the Legs

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that helps relieve pressure on compressed nerves by creating space between vertebrae. This allows herniated discs to retract and improves nutrient flow to the affected area.

It’s especially effective for patients who have:

  • Sciatica
  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Chronic low back pain with radiating leg symptoms

SoftWave Therapy for Nerve Regeneration and Pain Relief

We also offer SoftWave Therapy, a regenerative treatment that uses electrohydraulic shockwaves to stimulate healing at the cellular level. It’s FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and has been shown to help with:

  • Improved blood flow to nerves and soft tissues
  • Reduction in inflammation
  • Nerve cell regeneration
  • Faster healing times for chronic pain conditions

For many patients experiencing numbness or tingling, this therapy can accelerate recovery and restore normal sensation.

Do I Need X-rays or Imaging Before Treatment?

In many cases, yes. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center, we offer on-site digital X-rays to get a clear picture of your spine and identify the exact cause of your symptoms. This helps us create a customized care plan that addresses the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.

When Should You See a Chiropractor for Numbness or Tingling?

We recommend seeking chiropractic care if your symptoms:

  • Have lasted more than a few days
  • Are getting worse over time
  • Are accompanied by weakness or pain
  • Affect your daily activities like walking or standing

The sooner we can address the underlying cause, the better your outcome will likely be.
