Which Doctor Should Be Consulted For Pinched Nerve In Neck, Neck Pain And Stiffness?

I have what seems to be a pinched nerve in my neck, neck pain and stiffness and pain on my right shoulder and some muscle weakness and some tingling in my hand. The pinched nerve though is on the left side. What type of doctor should I see. An ortho, nerve? My pcp is not helpful. Also I have been going to a chiropractor but not helping too much.

Hi,
As you have pinched nerve problem mostly due to cervical spondilitis.
You have to consult Neuro-surgeon as it is in connection with nerves passing through spines and inter-vertebral discs.
Ok and take care.
