Numbness Treatment in Culver City
Pins and needles feeling? Not cool. Persistent numbness often signals nerve irritation or peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Hogan—board-certified with a B.S. in Exercise Science and more than 18 years of practice—starts with a thorough assessment to pinpoint where the numbness travels, test strength and reflexes, and rule out red flags. Then we create a holistic plan to ease pressure around the nerve, improve blood flow and guide simple movements to keep symptoms from returning.
- Conditions: peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, nerve entrapment
- Services: chiropractic adjustments, soft‑tissue therapy, nerve‑flossing exercises, nutritional guidance
- Approach: holistic, non‑invasive, patient‑centered
Call (310) 800‑1320 to restore your sensation.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is damage or irritation of the nerves that carry signals between your brain / spinal cord and the rest of your body. When those nerves misfire you may feel:
- Pins-and-needles or “ant-crawling” sensations
- Burning, stabbing, or electric-shock pain
- Loss of temperature or touch awareness
- Muscle weakness, cramping, or poor balance
Left untreated, neuropathy can erode your quality of life—turning simple tasks like buttoning a shirt or walking to the mailbox into daily challenges.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Tingling / “falling asleep” in fingers, hands, toes, or feet
- Numb patches that make it hard to feel the floor or grasp objects
- Burning or icy pain that worsens at night
- Muscle weakness or foot-drop while walking
- Loss of coordination and increased tripping or stumbling
Common mechanical causes
Dr. James Hogan often traces neuropathic symptoms to one (or a combination) of the following:
- Spinal compression – bulging discs or spinal stenosis press on nerve roots
- Soft-tissue entrapment – scar tissue around the carpal tunnel, piriformis, or calf nerve pathways
- Posture & desk habits – rounded shoulders or slouching tighten neck and low-back nerves
- Metabolic strain – diabetes, vitamin-B shortages, or certain medications slow nerve repair
Left unchecked, nerve irritation can progress to permanent numbness, balance loss, and chronic pain.

Frequently asked questions
Is chiropractic safe for peripheral neuropathy?
Yes. Dr. Hogan uses gentle, evidence-based techniques that reduce nerve irritation without drugs or surgery.
How many sessions will I need?
Acute tingling from a recent injury may calm in 6–8 visits. Chronic conditions (6 + months) often need a 12- to 18-visit program combined with home exercise.
Do you treat diabetic neuropathy?
We address mechanical contributors (spinal or soft-tissue compression) and provide nutritional guidance, but you’ll also continue medical management with your primary physician.
Will my insurance cover care?
Most PPO and Medicare plans cover chiropractic evaluation and treatment. We verify benefits for you on day one.
