Don't Ignore Numbness and Tingling: What Your Nerves May Be Telling You Numbness and tingling aren't always harmless. Sometimes they're temporary. Sometimes they come and go. Sometimes they're your body's way of warning you that a nerve is under pressure. In this episode of The Optimal Health Guide, Michael and physical therapist Josh Vance discuss one of the most misunderstood categories of symptoms: nerve-related problems. Together they unpack what causes numbness and tingling, why symptoms often show up far from the actual injury, and why many people wait too long before seeking help. In this episode you'll learn: ✔ Common causes of numbness and tingling ✔ Why nerve symptoms often come and go ✔ The difference between trigger points and nerve injuries ✔ When numbness, tingling, or weakness become serious concerns ✔ What EMG testing can reveal ✔ How nerve injuries heal ✔ Real patient stories and recovery examples ✔ Why early diagnosis improves outcomes Josh also explains how EMG testing helps identify the location, severity, and age of a nerve injury, allowing patients and providers to make more informed treatment decisions. If you've noticed numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations, grip changes, or unusual symptoms that keep returning, this episode may help you understand what your body is trying to tell you. 🎧 Listen to all episodes: 👉 podcast.vancept.com 🌐 Learn more: 👉 vancept.com 💬 Submit future podcast questions: 👉 podcast.vancept.com #Numbness #Tingling #NervePain #EMG #CarpalTunnel #PhysicalTherapy #Neuropathy #OptimalHealthGuide #VancePhysicalTherapy
