When my head bends down to the floor my left hand and fingers started getting numb. What cold be the reason? And what is your suggestion for a cure? Hello Sundar,
Thank you for your question. There are numerous possibilities and the first step is to get an X-ray of your neck.
Careful examination of your spine, looking for loss of reflex, weakness and numbness is vital. And various orthopaedic tests, like the Cervical Compression tests and the Upper Limb Tension Test.
You could have a slipped disc in the neck, or it could be degenerative spurs that are invading the foramen, and there are other possibilities.
I don't know how many chiropractors there are in India, start at the hospital, and take a copy of this with you.
At this site you'll find a home traction unit that you can make to help yourself. It's not difficult.
