A member asked:
For the past few week when i lay on my back at night my feet will start tingling and they will fall asleep, how can i fix this?

Tingling feet: If only your feet tingle, then not likely a problem with your spine. I would suspect tight shoes causing some compression of the nerves into the foot. Try less restrictive footwear. Make sure no pressure around the ankle with socks, etc. If persists, then may need a doctor to evaluate.
