Causes and Treatment of Paresthesia
10. Treatment of Paresthesia
Most treatments for paresthesia concentrate on the underlying cause. Compressed nerves and repetitive strain injuries can benefit from braces and physical therapy to help take pressure off the nerves. Numbing creams can help, although they can exacerbate the condition if used excessively. Ibuprofen and steroid injections can decrease swelling that may contribute to paresthesia. Although no studies exist yet, some people report that cannabis helps relieve the sensation.
