Neck pain with numbness and tingling in the hand can happen when irritation affects the nerves coming from the neck, but it needs a proper evaluation first.  The symptom may shows where the nerve is being felt, not automatically where the problem started, which is why hand symptoms can come from the neck, shoulder, posture strain, or repetitive work.  The syptoms, patient history, physical evaluation, and it may require diagnostic imaging.  If the numbness is progressive, severe, or paired with weakness, that deserves prompt medical attention.  Nerve symptoms should be traced to their source and treated.  If a nerve is in pain and is left untreated, it can allow damage to progress and may cause permanent physical impairment and chronic pain.  The nerves are the communication lines of the body and are the distress signals when something is not normal.  Don’t take pain killer to mask or ingnore the pain because that will make your pain worse in the long term.  Come to Dolce Vita Chiropractic or see your own Chiroprator and get evaluated.
