Why My Finger Are Sensitive And Tingly After Cracking The Neck?
Hello. I went to a chiro a couple of months ago. He cracked my back and neck. When he did one adjustment i felt sensation throughout both arms to my fingertips. For 3 days my middle fingers were sensitive and felt tingly. I also felt slight numbing in my neck on my right side. then it went away. I just woke up from a nap and cracked my neck. yes i used my hands a bit. The same sensation shot up both my arms again. right side of neck is tingley a bit. Whats happening Thanks!

Hi
Your manipulation has resulted in compression over nerve root most probably by disc prolapse. There is also a possibility that you had marginal sysymptoms that would have exaggerated by manipulation.
Take rest no more manipulation.
If this persists it will need an MRI.
