Question
36 yr old healthy female.  I have been experiencing left big toe numbness for about a week now.  It comes and goes, but today has been pretty constant.  I just had MRI in May, after passing out and it was w/in normal limits.  I am concerned about MS.  What do you think?  Is this something a chiropractor could handle?

Answer
Lynda,
A true straight doctor of chiropractic is a nervous system doctor.  So to answer your question, Yes, this is something that a Doctor of Chiropractic can handle.  Now, it is important to choose the right doctor.  If you are concerned about the seriousness of this issue and would like to see a specific chiropractor then send me more info such as your town and state and the nearest city to you.  I can locate someone who is qualified to help you.  You may have a misaligned lumbar vertebra as a result of a subluxated Atlas or Axis Vertebra.  Seeing the right doctor for this would make a big difference.  Let me know if you would like my further assistance.
