Why do I wake up with tingling down my arm and my hand asleep?

Waking up with pins and needles in your hands is so bothersome. The cause? Muscles in the neck and shoulders get bound up from overuse, bad posture and stress. These muscle impinge on nerves that travel down the arm creating an annoying feeling.

Here are some simple solutions to alleviate these symptoms.

  1. Doorway stretch:

 
 

2. Release the knots using the TrigEssence therapy ball.

 
 

3. Some people have also felt relief using a TENS unit. (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy involves the use of low-voltage electric currents to treat pain. A small device delivers the current at or near nerves. TENS therapy blocks or changes your perception of pain while releasing the muscles that impinge on the nerves.
