Can Tingling Sensation In Spine Be Treated Through A Chiropractor?
I just finished 15 sessions with a chiropractor and I still show no sign of improvement. If I walk in a grocery store for instance after about 5 minutes I can hardly walk. Now I feel my left leg at times not always tingling and I feel tingling in the middle of my back around the spine area. I experienced something similar about 2 yrs ago and the chiropractor put me in traction (actually I call it a rolling bed) a table that has a guess you would call rollers running up; and down the back lifting the torso up and that seemed to help

Hi,
A chiropractor wouldn't be able to help that much with the tingling sensation that you get on walking for small distances too. It is from a pinched nerve in your lower back. You need to visit a spine doctor and get it looked at. An MRI would certainly help to locate the exact level and what exactly is compressing the nerve.
