People who often have numb hands should pay attention

Most people have encountered this situation of hand numbness, and the reasons for different types of people are not the same, so it is very necessary to understand the truth about hand numbness!



Causes of numbness in the hands and feet


Vascular factors



If we sit for a long time or have a bad posture, it will cause numbness in the lower limbs. If the posture of the hand is not right, after a long time, as soon as you relax, it will be like thousands of ants crawling.



This is because, when the blood vessels are compressed, the blood vessels supply the limbs are partially ischemia, causing numbness, and when the compression is relieved, the blood flows through, and it feels like many ants crawling. When the ulnar artery and radial artery of the upper extremity are compressed in one place, it will cause numbness in the hand.


Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to the combination of work and rest in the desk studio, and when the work intensity is too high, you can put a soft pad on the wrist to prevent the blood vessels from being compressed by hard objects for a long time.


Neurological factors



There is axoplasmic flow in the nerve, and when the nerve is compressed, the axonal flow is obstructed, which can also cause numbness in the hand. To the palm, there are mainly radial nerves, ulnar nerves, median nerves, these nerves start from the cervical spinal canal, through the joints, ligaments, bone fiber canals to the end of the palm, in any part, the nerve is compressed, will cause hand numbness.



Brain factors



All nerves originate from the brain, and when there is a problem in the brain, such as a stroke, the innervated area of the brain will be numb and weak.



Systemic factors



High blood lipids: Long-term high blood lipids can easily cause hardening of blood vessel walls, coupled with high blood lipids, blood viscosity, blood flow slows down, and cells get less oxygen nutrients, resulting in numbness.


Diabetic: Maintain a high level of blood sugar, which will cause great damage to human blood vessels and nerves, arteriosclerosis and neurodegeneration.



Cervical vertebrae: The cervical nerve has an intervertebral foramen that comes out and is divided into two branches, anterior and posterior.


Anterior ramus: Towards the inferior lateral side, all the way to the forearm, constituting the ulnar, radial, median nerves, etc.


Posterior branches: Muscles that go around the posterior joints of the cervical spine to the back and distribute them in the back of the cervical spine, and the skin can cause numbness regardless of whether the anterior or posterior branches are compressed.
