10 Spondylosis Symptoms

Symptom #10: Numbness
Even the extremities of our bodies are able to feel sensations such as heat, cold, and pain. This is thanks to a system of nerves that traverses throughout the body and sends signals to and from the brain. This is how we are able to touch and feel the world around us with extremities such as our hands and feet.
If a nerve is compressed, however, these messages are not able to travel as well as they would do otherwise. This can reduce our ability to feel sensations, leaving us feeling numb. This can also happen should you sit or lean awkwardly at times, but it can also be a sign of a problem with the central nervous system.
