Dr. Travis,

Dr. Travis has available, be sure to look at her website.

Penny,
Thanks for the testimonial. Which product(s) do you like the best?
I especially like the Arnica Flower Herbal Liniment and the
Calendula Flower Herbal Oil. Our son finds that the Calendula Oil
is especially helpful in healing his dry hands and helping to heal
cuts he gets during his day on the farm. Of course, he uses
the Liniment to aid those sore muscles. We are both confirmed
belivers of these products.
Penny,
Thanks again for the great testimonial….we all have our favorites.
I have had numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers for the past few months. I thought I had recovered from the whiplash that I suffered as a result of a car accident a year ago. Do you think the two are related? And what treatment will help me?
Thanks for your help!
Dear Billie,
What a great question. Numbness and tingling anywhere in the body usually means that a nerve and/or a blood vessel is being “pinched”. Considering your history of an auto accident, it could very well be that the nerves in your neck are being compromised. Sometimes after an accident it leaves the area vulnerable to future injuries.
You should have your chiropractor check it out for you, your chiropractor might have to take an x-ray to see if there has been any progression of damage from your previous injury.
Meanwhile, I would Ice the neck area just above the shoulder for 15 Minutes, then take the ice off for 15 minutes, then put it back on for 15 minutes, then let it come back to normal temperature for approximately 1 hour. If the tingling reoccurs then repeat the Ice sequence.
Thanks for your question
