Numbness is a sensation of loss of feeling or sensation in a part of the body. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including nerve damage, poor circulation, or underlying medical conditions. Common causes of numbness include nerve compression, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases. The specific location and pattern of numbness can often help to narrow down the possible causes. Treatment for numbness depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, or surgery. If you experience numbness, it is important to see a healthcare professional to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
