There are two main types of problems that cause tingling in the hands. Firstly, nerve irritation. This may be the case if just part of the hand is affected or a couple of fingers. If you were to hit your funny bone, you will get pain usually in the little finger and the outside of the arm. This is because the nerve that travels through there carries information to the little finger and the outside of the arm. Different nerves affect different areas of the hands and fingers, so you can locate which nerve is affected by the symptoms you’re experiencing.

When neck pain has been built up over time with arthritis or disc bulges, you may not draw the link between the neck pain and the fingers because it doesn’t automatically affect them when you start getting neck problems. If you have an injury, you may get inappropriate signals that are being sent to the area which is why you’ll start to experience pain there versus being solely located in the neck.

The second potential cause of the tingling in the fingers is trapping of the vascular tissue in the chest or neck. If you were to get the blood flowing back into that area of the body again and it goes away, this is likely to be the cause. This is simply a blocking of the artery and anything downstream is going to be affected. It is possible to get both nerve pain and a vascular response with trapping of the blood vessel. Stretching out the muscles and making them less tight will make it less likely to experience this particular type of tingling.

Diabetes can cause tingling in the fingers as a vascular response to the problem. This affects first and foremost the farthest areas away from the heart, which is usually the toes but it will later affect the hands and fingers in what’s known as the glove and stocking response. If you’d like to know more about diabetes, we can do a dedicated video so do let us know if you’d like to see that.
