Question
I am having tingling or numbness in the head, face, fingers, toes and legs. Cold and light pain in the finger tips which are extreme sensitivity to touch, even a light touch. This all comes and goes and shifts all around my body. The back of my neck is painful & stiff which I have had problems with for the past 20 or so years, this hasn't gone away. The numbness has only been felt off and on for the past 2 months.
When younger I had a spine alignment which took the pain away for a number of years. Would this be the answer again or could the be Neuropathy?
Thanks for your help...
Hello Henry,
You may want to see a doctor of chiropractic to determine the cause of the numbness. A Chiropractic exam will be able to determine this. You may want to be seen soon instead of letting the symptoms become worse.
Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
