Numb Hands and Tingling Feet | Felt at the End of the Line

DESCRIPTION A hand that goes dead at three in the morning. A foot that feels distant at the end of a long day. By the time you reach an appointment the symptom has gone and you’re told nothing is wrong. Kelowna chiropractor Dr. Cary Yurkiw explains what numbness and tingling actually are: a nerve sending an inaccurate report, not proof that something has broken. Felt at the end of the line. Caused somewhere along it. Interference, not damage, and interference is the part that can change. Nobody is diagnosed in this episode. That is not what it’s for. You’ll leave with an explanation that holds together and a couple of things to do this week. CHAPTERS 0:00 A hand that goes dead. A foot that feels distant.0:20 How this usually shows up.
