A member asked:
Please tell me, could a tight neck and shoulder make your face numb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 40's male with "tight neck and shoulder" with facial numbness describes a symptom constellation compatible with thoracic outlet syndrome. Within the disorder of tos, muscle spasms of lateral neck muscles can impinge occipital nerve branches that serve the lateral-posterior facial regions. An osteopath might be best doctor to evaluate. My experience has been that many neurologists doubt tos.
