Tingling or Numbness in Levittown

What is Tingling or Numbness?

Tingling or numbness is a sensation often described as “pins and needles,” loss of feeling, or a prickling in the skin. While it can be temporary and harmless — like when your foot “falls asleep” — persistent or recurring tingling or numbness may be a sign of an underlying issue with your nerves, circulation, or musculoskeletal system.

At Physiomove Physical Therapy in Levittown, we help patients identify the cause of their symptoms so they can take steps toward relief and improved function.

Common Causes of Tingling or Numbness

Tingling and numbness can happen anywhere in the body, but are most often felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet. Common causes include:

• Nerve compression or irritation (e.g., herniated discs, sciatica)
• Poor posture or repetitive strain injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Circulation issues
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Pinched nerves in the neck or back
• Injuries to the muscles, tendons, or joints
• Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis

When to Take Tingling or Numbness Seriously

While occasional tingling can be harmless, you should seek professional evaluation if you experience:

• Persistent or worsening symptoms
• Numbness affecting one side of the body
• Weakness or difficulty moving a limb
• Tingling following an injury
• Numbness combined with loss of bladder or bowel control (medical emergency)

Why Early Evaluation Matters

Ignoring tingling or numbness can allow the underlying issue to progress, leading to long-term nerve damage or loss of function. Getting a proper assessment as soon as possible helps pinpoint the cause and guide you toward the right next steps.
