I have been to a chiropracter and an osteopath, have had neck and back x-rays (which just showed wear and tear), and been to a spinal specialist mainly to get an MRI scan which he did not think I needed. ( I also had sciatica last year which I still get in my left leg at night.) I can get rid of the tingling in my left arm by turning my head to the right or raising my left arm above my head.
