A Chiropractor Could Help with Tingling in Hands and Feet?
Often, tingling in the extremities is tied to the spinal cord and the nerves and vertebra surrounding it. Many people begin to experience tingling in their hands or feet after sitting for a long time or performing rigorous physical activity. If the tingling is severe or chronic, then it could be caused, among other things, by impinged nerves or misaligned vertebrae. Visiting a chiropractor can help relieve the stressed nerves and decrease tingling episodes.

Is paralysis in the lower body part incurable?
There are two types of spinal cord injuries. Complete spinal cord injuries refer to the types of injuries that result in complete loss of function below the level of the injury, while incomplete spinal cord injuries are those that result in some sensation and feeling below the point of injury. The level and degree of function in incomplete injuries is highly individual, and is dependent upon the way in which the spinal cord has been damaged.http://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injuries/index.htmlThe prognosis of a particular spinal cord injury varies depending upon where along the spinal column the spinal cord has been injured, the severity of the injury, and which nerve fibers are damaged. As a general rule of thumb, some recovery can be expected within the first six months following injury. After six months, additional recovery is unlikelyhttp://www.brainandspinalcord.org/spinal-cord-injury/index.html A combination of physical therapy, electronic aides, medications, and surgeries can be used to help SCI survivors regain as much function as possible after injury.

When giving first aid to an accident victim where a spinal injury is suspected or possible?
Not entirely sure what you're asking but since I'm an EMT I'll try to answer it anyway. When a spinal injury is possible do NOT perform a head-tilt/chin-lift or use a nasopharyngeal airway to open the patient's airway. Do NOT put them in a recovery position as it can result in irreversible damage. DO use an oropharyngeal airway and/or the jaw-thrust maneuver while keeping them in the Supine position to open the airway and take spinal precautions to minimize the risk of further spinal damage.

What is the Haines recovery position?
The HAINES Recovery Position is a position designed to reduce lateral cervical flexion for all 'unconscious, suspected spinal injured' patients who need airway and spinal protection where there is a lack of spinal immobilisation equipment readily available. eg in a pre-hospital environment prior to the arrival of trained Paramedics. It is also suitable in a multiple casualty scenario where the 'Mechanism of Injury' leads you to suspect a potential spinal injury and the available resources are unable to cope. This position has been clinically researched and benchmarked against the Lateral Recovery position where it has clearly shown to offer significant reductions in cervical movement. Finally, this recovery position was recognised and recommended for use by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Red Cross in 2005.
