Numbness is a reduced or absent sense of feeling in part of the body. People often use the word to describe “dead” sensation, dullness, or decreased touch. Clinicians use Numbness as a symptom that can point to irritation or injury of nerves. It is commonly discussed in spine, neck, and back care because spinal nerves supply sensation to the arms, trunk, and legs.
