Chiropractic for Tingling in the Arm or Hand | Upper Darby, PA


Can Chiropractic Help With Tingling in the Arm or Hand?

Do you often feel tingling, numbness, or “pins and needles” in your arms or hands? These symptoms may be signs of nerve irritation or compression in the neck or upper spine. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, PA, we help patients from Havertown, Drexel Hill, and surrounding areas find relief—naturally and without surgery.

Using chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, and advanced therapies like SoftWave and Class IV laser, we target the source of your symptoms, not just the surface discomfort.

What Causes Tingling in the Arm or Hand?

There are many causes for tingling or numbness in the upper limbs. In our practice, the most common include:

  • Cervical (neck) disc bulges or herniations
  • Pinched nerves from spinal misalignment
  • Cervical radiculopathy (nerve root compression)
  • Thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (in some cases)
  • Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, or upper back

If the nerve pathways from your neck to your arms are compressed or inflamed, you may feel symptoms like tingling, burning, weakness, or numbness in the hands, wrists, or fingers.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Nerve Symptoms in the Arms

Chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways to address the root cause of nerve-related arm and hand symptoms. Our chiropractors use gentle, precise spinal adjustments to improve joint alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and restore normal nerve flow from your neck to your upper limbs.

When spinal misalignments or disc issues are corrected, the nerves have the space and support they need to function properly—allowing symptoms to fade.

Spinal Decompression for Cervical Disc Issues and Pinched Nerves

If a bulging or herniated disc in your neck is pressing on a nerve, we may recommend cervical spinal decompression therapy. This non-surgical treatment gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure, relieving pressure on affected discs and allowing the spine to heal.

Conditions that benefit from decompression include:

  • Cervical herniated discs
  • Cervical radiculopathy
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic neck and shoulder pain with radiating symptoms

SoftWave Therapy for Arm Numbness and Nerve Pain

SoftWave Therapy uses focused sound waves to promote nerve regeneration and tissue healing. It increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps repair damaged tissues without needles, drugs, or downtime. It’s especially helpful for:

  • Nerve inflammation in the neck or shoulders
  • Repetitive strain injuries (like carpal tunnel or tennis elbow)
  • Chronic tension in the forearms and wrists

This therapy complements chiropractic care to enhance healing from the inside out.

Should You Get X-Rays for Tingling in the Hands or Arms?

In many cases, yes. We offer on-site digital X-rays at our Upper Darby office to better understand the alignment and condition of your cervical spine. Imaging helps us detect disc problems, bone spurs, arthritis, or narrowing of nerve pathways that could be causing your symptoms.

When to See a Chiropractor for Tingling or Numbness

It’s time to consult a chiropractor if your symptoms are:

  • Persistent or recurring over several days
  • Accompanied by neck or upper back pain
  • Getting worse or spreading
  • Disrupting sleep or daily function

Chiropractic care addresses the source of nerve problems early—helping you avoid long-term damage or more invasive treatments down the road.
