Most people have experienced an occasional pins and needles sensation, usually when falling asleep in a funny position. Normally, the numbness goes away relatively quickly with shaking it out or walking around.
But what happens when you’re starting to get funny symptoms just on your inside two fingers – your ring finger and pinky finger – and they seem random but progressively getting worse? If it’s not painful… it’s not a problem… right?!?
If you experience tingling, numbness, pins and needles, or burning in your 4th and 5th fingers, you may have a type of ulnar nerve entrapment.
Have you ever hit your funny bone? (For those of you that are uninformed of this grade school slang, your funny bone is your elbow!) When you hit the inside of your elbow on something, you may have an intense pain down your forearm and may even have tingling symptoms temporarily. This is actually your ulnar nerve that you just whacked!
Learn more on our ulnar nerve blog post!
Find out why your pinky finger tingles and how ulnar nerve entrapment is treated through physiotherapy and ergonomic changes.

Strive Physiotherapy & Performance began as a dream idea discussed between two friends who were frustrated with the health industry. In short, the dream was to be in a clinic where there was ongoing education, a positive and familial atmosphere, and clinicians dedicated to customer service and quality of care instead of numbers.
After taking a leap of faith and starting Strive Physiotherapy & Performance, Mike began as the only person working in our entire clinic. No front desk staff, no RMT, no physiotherapy assistant... and no on site laundry machines! (That’s right, he would run the laundry back and forth from his house between clients).
In 2018 we celebrated our 3rd birthday. We are now 3 physiotherapists, 2 RMTs and 3 office administrators... and adding more! We pride ourselves in our thorough, one-on-one care. That means no assistants sitting with you after seeing the physiotherapist for 5 minutes, no continually changing staff. You will be seen by the same physiotherapist for your entire appointment, every time. We help each client understand their injury, work towards recovery, and build strength and the confidence to reduce the risk of future injury.
Each of us loves our job, and we look forward to coming to work every day. Seriously! It’s hard to dread Mondays when you love what you do. We look forward to seeing each of our clients, and guiding them through their recovery.
Stop putting it off until ‘tomorrow’ - make the call today, and get back to doing what you love.
