FAQs

01

Why do my hands feel numb or tingly?

Hand numbness is commonly caused by nerve compression in the wrist, elbow, shoulder, or neck. Poor posture and repetitive movements are frequent contributors.

02

Can physiotherapy help hand numbness?

Yes. Physiotherapy treats the root cause of nerve compression through manual therapy, exercises, and postural correction.

03

Is hand numbness related to neck problems?

Yes. Cervical spine issues can refer numbness and tingling into the hands and fingers.

04

When should I see a physiotherapist for hand numbness?

If numbness lasts more than a few days, worsens at night, or affects grip strength, you should seek physiotherapy assessment.

05

Can hand numbness go away on its own?

I had an excellent experience at Townline Physiotherapy & Wellness. The Staff is so polite, welcoming, organized and the clinic is so clean with pleasant atmosphere.

I had severe pain in my left shoulder blade and numbness in left arm. In the first look, Jimmy Tayal told what causes(cervical radiculopathy) it and ensured it will go within three weeks.
He is so knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He emailed a list of exercises that really helped me (a lot) and my 70% of pain is gone in just two visits. Thank you so much Jimmy!!!

Highly recommend Jimmy Tayal if you are looking for best physiotherapist in Abby.

I had an excellent experience at Townline Physiotherapy and can’t recommend them enough. I went in for neck pain that was affecting my daily work and sleep, and from the very first visit the team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring.

The physiotherapist took the time to properly assess my neck, explained the treatment plan clearly, and tailored everything to my specific needs. Within a few sessions, my neck pain and stiffness improved significantly, and I felt more confident doing my daily activities again.

The hot stone massage was an absolute game-changer. It helped relax the tight muscles in my neck and shoulders, reduced tension, and made a huge difference in my overall recovery. The clinic is clean, calm, and very well organized, and the staff makes you feel comfortable and welcomed.

If you’re looking for expert neck pain physiotherapy along with therapeutic treatments like hot stone massage, Townline Physiotherapy is the place to go.
