It’s not pain,just a strange numb feeling or like someone is pressing their thumb into the back of my head
. I see a chiropractor regularly and am going tomorrow. Hopefully, he can help. It’s been like this off and on for two days.

Any numbness infers a nerve blockage…there is a nerve serving the back of the head with many branches … there is pressure on the nerve in the upper cervical region. You should have almost immediate relief from your treatment. It may take a day or two for the inflammatory process to be reduced. Your doctor will advise you well.
