Are you a rock climber, or other person, experiencing tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arms or legs down into your hands and/or feet? These symptoms may be a result of neuropathy. Neuropathy is a common condition amongst climbers and other people. Don’t let neuropathies keep you off the rocks! Or Plastic! Or other things non-climbers might be on…. Rock Therapy can help!
Neuropathy is a type of nerve condition that affects the peripheral nerves (the ones in your arms and legs). These nerves are responsible for transmitting sensations from your limbs to your brain. In climbers and other people as well, neuropathies are often caused by repetitive motions (like training) and sustained awkward positions (like climbing) during everyday activities, leading to pressure on the nerves and consequently, tingling and in rarer cases also pain.
Symptoms of neuropathy include tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness in the affected limb as well as in rarer cases, feeling that are incorrect such as feeling wet when you are not or hot when you are cold etc. If left untreated, neuropathy can progress and even lead to permanent nerve damage.
