Numbness in the fingers – a common but well-treatable complaint

In many cases, it not only makes work tasks more difficult but also disrupts restful sleep. It is especially frequent among office workers, as prolonged sitting and the forced posture in front of a computer monitor place significant strain on the neck and shoulder girdle muscles.

What Happens in the Body?

Due to long-term improper posture, the neck and shoulder muscles remain continuously tense, becoming tight and rigid. These tight muscles may exert pressure on the nerve roots exiting the spine, which are responsible for the sensory and motor function of the arm and fingers. As a result, numbness in the fingers may develop, often accompanied by shoulder or scapular pain and even recurring headaches.

How Can the Symptoms Be Relieved?

Any therapy that relaxes the spinal musculature, improves posture, and helps maintain it in the long term may contribute to relieving symptoms.

A combination of medical spa treatments can be particularly effective:

• Mud pack: relaxes tight muscles and improves local circulation.
• Weight bath: reduces pressure on the spine and helps free compressed nerves.
• Massage: releases muscle spasms, reduces numbness, and relieves tension.

When complemented with dry-land physiotherapy or physical therapy, these treatments can be even more effective, supporting long-term improvement and symptom-free function.
