TINGLING IN ARMS AND HANDS
Tingling usually means a disturbance within your neurological system, though a decreased blood supply can also cause tingling. This could be in the brain, spinal cord, or anywhere along the course of the peripheral nerve, but the most likely entrapment is as the nerve emerges from the spine.
Notice how the nerve emerges from the spinal foramen neatly between two joints - the facet joint posteriorally and the disc joint anteriorally. A disturbance in either joint causing what is called a fixation (or subluxation) can irritate the nerve causing what is known medically as a parathesia. Ignored, the skin will become first very sensitive, and then numb, and the muscle supplied by the nerve may begin to atrophy or shrink.
Organs supplied by the nerve are also affected. Interesting research for example shows that subluxations in the midback cause a higher incidence of stomach ulcers. The stomach is really just a specialised muscle...
The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is another condition where a subluxated first rib, amongst other things, can affect the nerves passing to the arm, making one vulnerable to shoulder conditions such as Frozen Shoulder
FROZEN SHOULDER ..,
Tennis elbow and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Risking criticism for gross generalities, Chiropractic is centred on hyaline cartilage and healthy fats.
Facet and Discs are lined with hyaline cartilage which has no blood supply of its own. It is supplied by the synovial fluid in the joint. In the presence of joint fixations (subluxations) the oxygen and nutrients is not adequately refreshed. The result? Immobilisation arthritis, the most common cause of osteoarthritis.
HYALINE CARTILAGE ...
Waste products too build up in fixated joints irritating the nerves in the foramena as they exit from the spine.
Just as important, those nerves are lined with a fatty sheath (called a myelin sheath). It's vital for healthy conduction that your nerves are coated with the healthy fats, predominantly those from fish, the olive and avocado. Nuts and other foods of course also contain smaller amounts of the healthy fatty acids. Research strongly recommends avoiding the trans fats form in hydrogenated foods.
HYDROGENATED FOODS ...
COLOURED FOODS
Researchers advise us to eat a minimum of FIVE coloured fruit and veg per day. For example, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, beetroot... the list is endless. At Chiropractic Help we recommend you aim for TEN. The coloured foods are full of antioxidants. Cancer prevention. They also lower cholesterol, homocystein. Apart from anything else, they taste damn good!
