Topic: Acupuncture



Expert: Dr. Brendon J. O`Brien, D.C.
Date: 7/19/2007
Subject: numbness spreading

Question
I have numbness that began in the upper left arm and has spread to the rest of left arm and hand plus left and middle face.

Doctors have found no vascular or neurological issues to explain it.

Would this be an appropriate candidate for accupuncture?

Answer
Hello Steve,

  For your first step you may want to see your M.D. or a nuerologist to see what exactly is causing the numbness.  If you are having muscle weakness along with the numbness you will want to be seen ASAP!

Hope all goes well,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
