Reasons why you might experience numbness or tingling in your hands
Tingling or numbness in the hands—often described as pins and needles—can be temporary or persistent. Depending on their duration and intensity, they are sometimes linked to poor posture… or, conversely, indicate an imbalance or pathology. So, how can you tell if it’s benign or more serious? Here are the main causes to be aware of.

Helpful tip : Use an ergonomic pillow and avoid sleeping with your arm under your head.
