Problem using my right arm
by bshis26, Jul 02, 2009 07:25PM
About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing loss of balance and weakness in my right arm. So went to my doctors, he said I should see chiropractor, so I did. My chiropractor told me that my C5 vertebrae is out of a line. So I had an adjustment and that hasn't helped. Can the C5 vertebrae cause these symptoms? Any feed back would be appreciated.

The symptoms of loss of balance and weakness in your right arm do not seem to correlate with the recommendation for chiropractic treatment, Did your doctor obtain any diagnostic tests such as x-rays prior to this recommendation? Cervical spine problems can result in sensory changes to the upper extremity, but do not usually cause balance problems.
Based on the information presented, it would be difficult to assess what the relationship between your symptoms and the shifting alignment of the C5 vertebra unless there also happened to be some nerve involvement as well.
Please provide more detailed explanation of your symptoms and any diagnostic test results that you may have at hand and we may be able to assist you further,
