Question
I am a 37 yr old female I've had a few injuries in my time(a fall skiing, a fall off a horse and a minor car accident) which has resulted in some lower back pain and neck issues. I visit a Cranial sacral therapist and a chiropractor both of which have helped me considerably, however I am experiencing some other symptoms and I want to know if these could be related to my back and neck issues. I would occasionally get burning/cold sensations in my face and left side if I sit or lie for prolonged periods of time. I can experience dizziness and nausea when these occur. usually walking around stops the sensations but lately I am left with pains in my left arm, shoulder blade and sometimes my leg (I have been diagnosed with sciatica) I have had ECGs but all clear. i would appreciate any insight you may have. Even if there's little can be done it will stop me worrying. Thank you in advance!

Answer
Does your current treatment address these issues? Chiropractic can definetely help with your sciatica. As for the altered sensations in your face and shoulder, I am not sure what the cause of that is, there are many things which may cause your symptoms, mineral/vitamin imbalance (i.e vitamin B), nerve impingement etc. I would recommend your chiropractor perform a neurological exam on you to in order to help with a diagnosis. Chiropractic, acupuncture  are some options for treatment. Have you had your blood pressure assessed recently?  I really think you should discuss this with your chiropractor.
