Severe Neck Pain, Lower Back Pain And Numbness In Fingers After Getting Beaten. What Type Of Tests Should Be Done?

My husband was assaulted at work by co-workers. They bent his back into a forced back-bend, while also pulling on his neck in a forward motion. He's had an xray and a ct scan-they are normal. What kind of dr should he go to and what types of testing should be done. He's in severe neck and lower back pain with numbness in his fingers.

Thanks for query on HCM.
X-ray and ct-scan is normal then it is due to soft tissue and muscle injury.
Numbness in the fingers is due to pressure symptoms,pressure on the nerve route in between after soft tissue swelling,blood collection inside.
Ice application will be helpful.
He has to start nsaid with serratiopeptidase.
Apply nsaid gel locally.
Take intramuscular injection of nsaid to subside the severe pain.
B12,folic acid,minerals and other supplements is required.
Start treatment under guidance of orthopedician.
