Question
I have been experiencing numbness in my right hip for about 6 months. And know I am starting to have lower back aches and muscle spasms in my feet. My family has a history of MS and I was wondering what my chances of having that at age 20. And if not what might be causing it. Thank you for your time.

Answer
Heather,
Regardless of the "effects" in your body, it is a sure sign that something is wrong when you have signs of numbness that are persistent.  The single greatest thing that you could do for your health is to visit an Upper Cervical Chiropractor's Office. This will assure that your nervous system is functioning properly.  The nervous system is the master system of the body, it controls and coordinates all cellular function including all organs and systems.
In Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic, we are not interested in your symptoms (effects), we are interested in the cause of your abnormal health, and restoring your body to normal function by correcting that cause.
If you would like a referral from me, just send me your town and state and I will get you the contact information of at least one Upper Cervical Chiropractor.  Remember, that doing this is the single greatest thing that you could do for your health, regardless of your condition.
