What Causes Right-sided Facial Numbness And Numbness On The Right Hand?
I have tingling in the middle of my back and feels like today it is going up the right side of my face with numbness. I also have numbness in my right hand. This has been happening for a few months now on and off. I don t have pain but it is very annoying. Not sure if this is something to go see my doctor or a chiropractor?

Hi,
Numbness of the face and hand at the same time can be caused by important conditions in the brain so it is very important that you see your doctor to have a physical examination. If he finds abnormal findings he might ask for a CT scan or MRI to confirm or rule out brain related conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
