Pins and needles is a common sensation

Pins and needles in arms can be caused by many things. Poor posture, sitting in one position for too long, or sleeping on your arm can all lead to pins and needles. In most cases, the sensation goes away after you move your arm or change your position. Pins and needles can also be caused by pressure on the nerves. This can happen when you wear a tight bracelet or watchband or cross your legs for a long time. The sensation usually goes away quickly once the pressure is released. In some cases, pins and needles may indicate an underlying medical condition. Carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, and certain vitamin deficiencies can all cause pins and needles sensations in the arms. If you have persistent pins and needles, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

Spinal traction: what is it and how does it work?

Spinal traction is a method used to relieve back pain and other problems associated with the spine. The goal of spinal traction is to stretch the spine and take pressure off the nerves. This can help to relieve pain and improve function. Spinal traction is typically done with a machine that pulls on the spine from different angles. The person receiving treatment will lie on a table or bed, and straps will be used to hold them in place. The machine will then slowly pull on the spine, stretching it out. Spinal traction is usually done for 15-30 minutes at a time. It may be done once or twice a day for several days or weeks. Some people may need ongoing treatment to maintain relief from their symptoms. If you are considering spinal traction for your back pain, talk to your doctor to see if it is right.‍
