Specializes in Psychiatry

Possibly no chiro: Possibly as the pressure on the spinal cord may effect the pathway for the trigeminal spinal nucleus that sends sensory information about facial sensation including pain. It is more likely that you would have radiating sensory changes to your thumb and first finger than facial tingling. Get a neurosurgery consult prior to chiropractics
