Why Are My Hands or Feet Numb After a Car Accident?
Numbness or tingling in your hands, arms, legs, or feet after a car accident may be related to irritation or injury involving the nerves, neck, or lower back.
Even if your ER X-rays were normal, symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, neck pain, back pain, or pain traveling into an arm or leg may require further evaluation.
I’m Dr. Hamel at Kingwood Chiropractic Spine and Injury Center. With more than 25 years of experience and advanced training in spinal trauma and MRI, I evaluate car accident and whiplash injuries to help determine what may be causing these symptoms and whether additional testing may be appropriate.
