Waking up with a hand “asleep” or feeling pins and needles while driving down Hurontario can be unsettling. It’s not just annoying—it can make typing, gripping a mug, or buttoning a coat feel frustrating and unreliable.
At Kore~Energy Chiropractic, we help Mississauga residents understand why numbness and tingling are happening—and what can be done to support the body naturally.
Why The Source Isn’t Always The Wrist
It’s easy to assume hand symptoms start in the hand. Sometimes they do. But often, the bigger picture matters—especially the neck, upper back, and shoulders.
Here’s a simple way to think about it: if a garden hose is kinked near the tap, the flow at the nozzle changes. Your nerves work in a similar way. The nerves that supply your arms and hands start in the neck and travel down through the shoulder and arm. When there’s tension, irritation, or compression along that pathway, symptoms can show up in the fingers.
How Mississauga Habits Can Add To The Problem
Everyday life can build stress into the system without you noticing:
- Tensing shoulders and neck during traffic on the 403/401
- Desk work that pulls the head forward and tightens the upper back
- Repetitive arm use at work, at the gym, or during winter chores
- Sleep positions that keep the shoulders curled forward
The body may adapt for a while—until it can’t, and the tingling begins.
A Thoughtful Assessment That Looks Deeper
Because numbness and tingling can come from different causes, Dr. Korenic takes the time to assess what’s happening. We look at how your spine is moving, how your nerves are responding, and where tension patterns may be creating interference.
Your assessment may include:
- Testing sensation patterns to identify which nerve pathways are involved
- Orthopedic and reflex checks to better understand the source
- Range of motion and posture evaluation to find restriction points
Helping Your Body Restore Clear Communication
Once we understand what’s driving your symptoms, care is focused on reducing interference and supporting healthier nerve communication. By improving motion in the spine and reducing tension patterns, the goal is to help your body settle and allow sensation and function to return more normally.
It’s a relief to watch people stop worrying about their hands and start trusting their bodies again.
