Help Dr. Abhijeet...Muscle Jerks and Tremors

Dr. Deshmukh,

I had an additional question. Can pinched nerves or spinal subluxation (in general) cause all of the problems I described in my earlier post? In addition to postural tremors, hand/leg tingling and muscle jerks, I am now experiencing facial tingling (at the base of nose) for the last few weeks. By the way, the muscle jerks occur mostly as I am drifting off to sleep and tend to be widespread but singular in occurrence and body part (involving either the hands, feet, diaphram or sometimes whole body). I have subtle muscle twitches of the hands, feet, arms, shoulder and face as well that come and go. When I resumed treating with a chiropractor he assessed that I have vertical subluxation at C1, C2, C5, T3, T7, T9, T12, L3, L4, S1 and Sacrum. He noted that my pelvis was twisted and higherup on side than the other. He also performed a static EMG scan which showed moderate to severe hypertonicity of the paraspinal muscles. Can subluxation cause hypertonicity? Can cervical subluxation cause facial tingling? Can hypertonicity cause muscle twitches or jerks? What things can I do to relieve these symptoms outside of medication?
