A member asked:

I went to a chiropator for my neck cuz it was hurting me n now for the last week my left hand feels numb n feels like it fell asleep what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No more chiro: Most likely you have compression of a nerve in your cervical spine, which manipulation did not help. Don't get more. You need a history and physical examination by a physician and probably spinal imaging.
