Numbness

Numbness is a sensation where a part of your body feels less or completely without feeling, like tingling or a loss of sensation. It occurs when nerves that send signals between your body and brain are affected or disrupted. This can result from pressure on nerves, nerve damage, poor circulation, or medical conditions like diabetes or nerve injuries. Numbness may be temporary or chronic and can sometimes be accompanied by pain or weakness. If persistent or worsening, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and ensure appropriate treatment.
