Question
I have been having chest pain for the last 3 weeks but it seems to always be accompanied by numbing tingling pain in my back which i can get to go away for a few minutes with some stretching. should i go to a dr. or a chiropractor?

Answer
Yes,

   There may be a direct correlation to the pain in the back with the chest pain.  This is very common in my office.  Chiropractors specialize in the biomechanics of the spine and all joint in the body.  Adjustments to the vertebrea relieve tension in the spine and nerve root, this may help your condition.

Have a great day,
