Can subluxtion of c1,2 and 3 cause facial, tongue and gums numbness?

[anne72]

Hi about 21 months ago i had terrible pain in my face, and gums which turned into numbness. I have been to so many drs. and noone found anything. Then someone mentioned to me they had the same symptoms  and found they had c1 subluxtion. I went to a chiropractor he sent me for an xray, to find i have subluxtion and early stages of degeneration of c1,2 and 3. could this be the cause of my symptoms?

Hi, I have a neck problem too. I have neck pain just by sitting and tingling and numbness in my right arm. Anyways, I found this book on how to treat your back and neck by Robin McKenzie. It gives you exercises you can do. I started doing them my condition improved a lot. I still have problems but getting better. You should give it a try.

Have you ever had any adjustments done?

Neurontin an anti-seizure medication that's sometimes used for nerve pain helped some, but I couldn't  take the side effects.

I pretty much just deal with it, I have issues in other parts of my body that bother me more.

Be careful having a Chiropractor adjust your neck, it can be dangerous.

Is there anything that helps for you?

Yes, I've had left sided facial numbness and tingling relating to my neck problems for years.
