Numbness/Tingling

Some describe it as pins and needles or ants crawling. High chances are your nerves are affected, thus giving you the abnormal sensation. Mostly occurring at the arms or legs. A misconception is that discomfort occurs due to problem in the discomfort area. The truth is that when your nerves are affected, the discomfort spot may occur elsewhere. We have the ways to determine the root cause of your problem.

Joint Pain/Arthritis
