Suggest Treatment For Pain In Left Arm As X Ray Indicates Subtle Grade I Anterolisthrsis Of C6 Over C5

Noticeable tingling and pain in my left arm, less in my right. After getting x-rays, a radiologist says I have: 1) Subtle grade I anterolisthrsis of C6 over C5. 2) Facet hypertrophy with mild left foraminal narrowing C3-4. I saw a chiropractor last week. Should I see a neurologist, or a different specialist? (39 year old male, consistently healthy, good diet, moderate exercise) Thank you,

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
As per your problem I strongly recommend to visit the Physiotherapist and take some session of traction and heat pack foamantation. And post this use pain relieving ointment. Again also need to correct the postural abnormality that will also be guided by physical therapist. Along with all this you need to follow a good exercise program for cervical( neck) spine. Which will again help to improve you further.
Also check your bone profile. If it's not good take calcium and vitamin d supplement to.
Hope this was useful for you. Take care.
