Numbness and tingling care
Hand Numbness and Tingling in Alpharetta, GA
Hand numbness and tingling can disrupt your sleep, work, and everyday activities. At Optimal Spine and Body in Alpharetta, GA, Dr. Michael Weiner begins with a detailed history and examination to understand your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate. We assess your posture, spinal movement, and relevant nerve function, explain your findings, and recommend personalized next steps, including referral when additional evaluation is needed.
UNDERSTANDING hand numbness and tingling
Your Hand Numbness and Tingling Assessment
Could your neck be contributing to your hand symptoms? Irritation or compression of nerves in the cervical spine can cause numbness and tingling that travels into the arm and hand. Our Chiropractic BioPhysics® approach includes a detailed assessment of spinal alignment and posture. When clinically indicated, digital X-rays allow Dr. Weiner to measure the position and curvature of the cervical spine and assess structural changes.
These findings are considered alongside your history and neurological examination to guide recommendations. X-rays alone cannot confirm nerve compression or establish the cause of hand numbness.
Your first visits
What to Expect From Your First Visits
Your first visits focus on understanding your symptoms, explaining your findings, and discussing your options. Dr. Michael Weiner considers how your discomfort affects daily activities and what you want to improve, so recommendations fit your needs and goals.
First Visit: A Detailed Evaluation
Dr. Weiner reviews your symptoms and health history, then evaluates posture, spinal movement, and relevant neurological findings. We explore whether your neck may be contributing to your hand numbness and tingling and consider whether another evaluation is needed. When clinically indicated, digital X-rays help assess spinal alignment. Our Chiropractic BioPhysics® assessment includes measurements of spinal position and curvature in degrees and millimeters, considered alongside your examination findings.
Second Visit: Review Your Findings and Begin Care
Dr. Weiner explains your examination and any X-ray findings, connects them with your symptoms, and answers your questions. When chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment usually begins at this visit. Your initial care is tailored to your findings, comfort, and clinical needs.
Depending on your examination findings, treatment may include spinal adjustments and, when needed, adjustments to the shoulders, elbows, or wrists. Your care may also include CBP mirror image exercises—targeted movements opposite your identified postural shifts—and spinal traction tailored to your alignment findings and tolerance. Dr. Weiner explains the purpose of each recommended treatment.
Third Visit: Your Personalized CBP Spinal Correction Plan
Dr. Weiner reviews your full Chiropractic BioPhysics® spinal correction plan, including your alignment findings, health goals, expected outcomes, and a plan of action tailored to your needs. You’ll learn which corrective exercises to perform at home and, when appropriate, how to use a Denneroll spinal orthotic to support your alignment goals. We provide individualized instructions for positioning, duration, and progression.
Your plan connects in-office treatment with home care, with clear goals for spinal correction, symptom improvement, and daily function. Dr. Weiner explains what improvement he expects in your case, how progress will be measured, and how your plan may be adjusted based on your response.
Your Treatment Plan
A Personalized Plan for Hand Numbness and Tingling
Your recommendations depend on your examination findings, goals, and response to care. We reassess your symptoms and daily function to guide each next step.
