Numbness & Tingling Relief in Houston
Unexplained numbness in your hands, arms, or legs can be frightening. Before you accept another inconclusive diagnosis, consider what may be happening at the top of your spine.
When "Everything Looks Normal" — But You Know It's Not
You wake up with tingling fingers. Your arm goes numb for no reason. Your legs feel heavy or prickly. You've had the nerve conduction tests, the MRIs, maybe even been referred to a neurologist — and the answer keeps coming back: "We can't find anything wrong."
That's because conventional testing often misses the real source. Numbness and tingling frequently originate not at the extremity where you feel it, but at the brainstem level — where a misaligned atlas vertebra can compress or irritate the nerves before they even reach your arms and legs.
This is the connection that NUCCA upper cervical care is designed to find and correct.
The Atlas-Nerve Connection
Every nerve signal traveling between your brain and your extremities passes through the upper cervical spine. The atlas vertebra sits at this critical junction. When it's misaligned, even slightly, it can:
→ Compress nerve roots that feed the arms, hands, legs, and feet
→ Disrupt blood flow to peripheral nerves
→ Create chronic inflammation that irritates nerve pathways
→ Alter spinal cord tension, creating referred symptoms far from the source
A NUCCA correction gently restores atlas alignment, decompressing these neural pathways and allowing sensation to normalize. The correction is precise, measured, and comfortable — no twisting, no cracking.
