Having Numbness In Feet. Back And Pelvis Was Adjusted Due To Weakness. Still Having Tingling In Foot. Advise?

I have numbness in my feet. It started Saturday night. I went to the chiropractor this AM to get my back and pelvis adjusted as I have weakness in that area. He adjusted me but my numbness in my feet is still there. He said it could take a while, but it's been 3 hours. I am wondering if there could be something else going on. Any ideas? I am 36. Had my 3rd baby in April of last year. I was carrying her a lot on Saturday, so my chiro thought that was the cause. But I am worried since the tingleness it is not going away in my right foot toes, even after adjustment.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us,

As per your symptoms probability is lumbar disc bulge compressing your spinal nerves leading to pain in your hips and down.

MRI spine will confirm diagnosis so I will advise to do that.
Muscle relaxant with neurotropic medication will help to relieve symptoms.
Till that time Physiotherapy like USG and SWD will give some relief

If there is only muscle sprain it will get relief with muscle relaxants.
I hope that I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further. Take care.
