Numbness and tingling doctor near me

If you are searching for a numbness and tingling doctor near you, the specialist you want is a neurologist, and the test that usually settles the question is electrodiagnostic testing. In the Las Vegas valley that testing is available at both CNS offices, each with its own AANEM-accredited laboratory.

Quick answer

If you are searching for a numbness and tingling doctor near you, the specialist you want is a neurologist, and the test that usually settles the question is electrodiagnostic testing. In the Las Vegas valley that testing is available at both CNS offices, each with its own AANEM-accredited laboratory.

Which specialist actually handles numbness and tingling?

Numbness, tingling and burning in the hands or feet are nerve symptoms, which puts them in neurology rather than orthopaedics or general practice. A neurologist's job is to work out whether one nerve is compressed at a single point, whether many nerves are involved at once, or whether the problem starts at a nerve root in the neck or lower back. Those three answers lead to three different treatments, and they can look identical from the outside.

What the visit involves

The history matters more than most people expect: which fingers or toes, whether it wakes you at night, whether it is worse gripping a steering wheel, whether it is spreading. Then a physical examination checks sensation, strength and reflexes. Only after that does testing come into it, and only when a test would answer a question the examination raised.

Why proximity matters for this symptom

Nerve symptoms often need electrodiagnostic testing, and at CNS that study is performed and interpreted in the same building by the neurologist who ordered it. Choosing the office nearer you means the laboratory is nearby rather than across the valley. Both offices carry the full six-study suite, so the closer one is not the less capable one.

Frequently asked

Questions about numbness and tingling doctor near me

What kind of doctor treats numbness and tingling?
A neurologist. Numbness and tingling are symptoms of nerve dysfunction, and neurology is the specialty that localises the problem and treats it without surgery. If the cause turns out to be structural and surgical, the neurologist identifies that and refers accordingly, but most cases never reach that point.
What are the warning signs I should not wait on?
Weakness rather than just altered sensation, symptoms that are climbing from the feet upward over days, loss of bladder or bowel control, or any difficulty with breathing or swallowing. Those patterns need urgent assessment, not a scheduled outpatient appointment. Sudden one-sided numbness with speech or vision change is a 911 call.
When should I see a neurologist about numbness and tingling?
When it persists beyond a few weeks, keeps returning, is spreading, or comes with weakness or clumsiness. Also when it is disturbing your sleep regularly, which is a common pattern with nerve compression at the wrist and one that tends to respond well once it is correctly identified.
Will I definitely need a nerve test?
Not always. The examination sometimes gives a clear enough answer on its own. When testing is needed it is usually EMG with nerve conduction studies, done in one session. Because the ordering neurologist performs and reads it, the study can be extended the same day if an early finding raises a new question.
Which CNS office should I go to?
Whichever is the shorter drive. The Las Vegas office is on West Flamingo Road and the Henderson office is on West Horizon Ridge Parkway, off the 215 Beltway. Both run their own accredited laboratory and share one record, so neither refers testing to the other.
