Have you ever felt your hands go numb or experience tingling without any clear reason? This sensation, known as paresthesia, can manifest as tingling, numbness, or even a temporary loss of feeling in the hands and fingers. In most cases, it is harmless and short-lived. However, if it occurs frequently or lasts for an extended period, it could be a sign of an underlying health issue.

Causes of Hand Numbness
Hand numbness is often caused by nerve compression or poor circulation. Some of the most common reasons include:
Hand therapy
Wrist brace
Poor Posture or Prolonged Pressure
Sleeping in an awkward position or resting your arm on a hard surface for too long can put pressure on nerves and reduce blood flow, leading to temporary numbness.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Wrist brace
This occurs when the median nerve running through the wrist becomes compressed due to repetitive movements, inflammation, or conditions like arthritis. It can cause tingling sensations and weakness in the hands.
