Rock Away Pins and Needles


Updated 10/14/11 11:47 AM · Posted by FitSugar · 5 comments

Here is a helpful little body trick for dealing with that uncomfortable sensation of pins and needles. If your hands go tingly while driving or sitting in an odd position try this simple move to decrease the time you spend with pins and needles.

What you do: Rock your head from side to side for about a minute.

Why it works: Compressed nerves in the neck can create the sensation of tingling in the hand or arm. Rocking your head will loosen the muscles in your neck and decrease the pressure on the compressed nerve.

If your foot goes to sleep, you need to walk not rock away the pins and needles. The nerves that govern the feet are in the lower half of the body so get up and walk to wake up sleepy feet.
