The feeling of pins and needles, also known as paresthesia, often occurs when nerves are compressed or blood flow is temporarily reduced. In many cases, it is temporary and harmless. However, when these sensations become frequent or persistent, they may be associated with an underlying health condition and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Common Causes of Numbness and Tingling
1. Poor Posture or Prolonged Pressure
Sitting or standing in the same position for too long can compress nerves and temporarily affect blood flow, causing numbness or tingling.
