HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Between the vertebra are intervertebra discs. These discs can bulge and cause pressure on surrounding nerves.
The pressure or damage to these nerves can cause abnormal sensations in the areas in which they supply so it is quite possible that the numbness in related to the changes in your spine.
Treatment can vary, in some cases it may consist of physiotherapy and medication.
In some cases surgery may be needed.
I hope this helps
