Muscle strains are common injuries caused by overuse or sudden movements. Usually, people with muscle strain experience pain, swelling, and limited movement. However, in some cases, tingling or numbness may occur. You may wonder if a muscle strain causes numbness. Well, muscle strain itself does not cause muscle strain directly, but the consequences of muscle strain can. This blog details how muscle strain can cause numbness.
ANF Therapy®️ is the newest and most advanced treatment for muscle strains. It is a drug and chemical-free therapy. Amino Neuro Frequency Therapy works on the principles of frequency medicine. This therapy uses frequency-charged ANF Devices that emit frequencies when applied to the body. These frequencies aim to activate your body’s natural healing process to start healing at the cellular level. This therapy is designed to provide long-lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
What is a muscle strain?
When the muscle fibres are torn or overstretched, a muscle strain occurs. This usually happens due to sudden movements or awkward postures, improper lifting of heavy objects, overuse of muscles, especially without adequate rest, and sports-related injuries.
Common symptoms of a muscle strain include:
- Pain in the affected muscle
- Swelling and bruising
- Muscle weakness
- Limited range of motion
- Stiffness
Why does numbness occur?
Numbness is the sensation that usually indicates an issue with nerve function rather than a direct result of muscle injury. It is a partial or complete loss of feeling in a part of the body. Nerves transmit sensory information from various body parts to the brain, and any interference with this transmission can lead to numbness. It can occur because of:
Nerve compression
When surrounding tissues such as muscles, ligaments, or bones put pressure on a nerve, it can lead to numbness in the areas supplied by that nerve. This is commonly seen in conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica, where nerves are pinched as they exit the spine or pass through narrow anatomical spaces.
Nerve injury
Trauma to the nerves themselves can cause numbness. This may occur in conjunction with severe muscle strains if there is swelling or structural changes that affect nearby nerves.
Can muscle strain cause numbness?
Although a muscle strain doesn’t directly cause numbness, the injury can lead to nerve irritation or compression in certain situations, which may result in numbness.
1. Nerve compression or irritation
Muscle strain may cause swelling in the affected area, which can put pressure on nearby nerves. As a result, this can cause numbness or tingling sensations. For example, if a person has a strained muscle in the neck or shoulder, it might compress nerves travelling down the arm. This can cause numbness in the fingers. Similarly, a muscle strain in the lower back can irritate the sciatic nerve, which may lead to numbness in the legs.
2. Referred pain and sensations
Sometimes, pain from a muscle strain can radiate to other areas of the body, creating sensations like numbness or tingling. This is known as referred pain and is more common in strains affecting the back, neck, or hips.
3. Underlying conditions
In some cases, numbness along with a muscle strain may indicate an underlying condition, such as:
- Herniated disc
- Pinched nerves
- Circulatory problems
ANF Therapy®️ For Muscle Strains:
Amino Neuro Frequency (ANF) Therapy®️ provides a targeted approach for managing muscle strains and associated symptoms. This therapy uses ANF Devices, which emit neuro frequencies, aiming to strengthen the body’s natural frequencies, reduce inflammation and soothe pain. By applying these devices directly to the affected areas, ANF Therapy®️ aims to enhance cellular communication and improve circulation, which can significantly ease nighttime muscle pain. This method is especially beneficial for those seeking a non-pharmacological solution to promote a more restful night’s sleep without the use of drugs.
For managing muscle pain that worsens at night, ANF Therapy®️ involves a comprehensive and structured treatment process:
History
Your treatment with ANF Therapy®️ begins with a detailed consultation, during which your ANF Therapist will take a comprehensive history. This includes assessing the severity of your pain, its impact on sleep, any related fatigue or cognitive symptoms, and a review of previous treatments and existing medical conditions.
Physical Examination
During the physical examination, your ANF Therapist will evaluate muscle tenderness, identify any trigger points, assess nerve sensitivity, check posture, and measure range of motion. This helps them understand your condition so they can create a personalized ANF protocol for you.
Application of ANF Devices
Based on the initial assessment, your therapist will apply specific ANF Devices to targeted areas of your body. These include positive and negative anti-inflammatory Devices, antioxidant devices (like glutathione and carnosine), energy devices, and nitric oxide devices, among others, designed to support all body systems. It’s crucial to stay well-hydrated to get the maximum results. Drink at least 1-2 glasses of water per hour to aid in detoxification with the help of ANF Therapy®️.
Expected Outcome
Dr. Mikel H-G Hoff, the founder of ANF Therapy®️, states that most patients experience significant pain reduction and symptom relief, often achieving around 50% improvement in the first session. However, results can vary based on the severity of the individual’s condition.
Follow-Up
Regular follow-ups with your ANF Therapist are essential to monitor your progress, adjust the treatment plan as needed, and ensure the ANF Devices are changed every 72 hours to maintain optimal effectiveness.
