A member asked:
Can the herniated discs in the neck cause numbness on face and lower back of head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically : The nerves that supply the face and skull are cranial nerves. They exit directly out of the skull above the neck. For that reason, neck problems do not typically cause skull or facial symptoms.
