I have one of those Shiatsu massage pads that helps sometimes as well. Bulging discs often cause irritated nerves and numbness and tingling. I have some arthritis in a few spots that cause some issues. Last week I got adjusted for pain in my thumbs and palms of my hand. It would switch from left hand to the right hand overnight. I heard it when she snapped it back in place. Instantly the pain went away.I knew for a long time I had pain up high between my shoulder blades, but when chasing why my hands have numb issues, the MRI showed bulged discs right where I am struggling with now. My blood pressure has been a little elevated, mostly from the worrying about the chest and arm pains. Was high last night. Turned on some BB King, ran a bath, relaxed with the jacuzzi jets on. Blood Pressure was back to perfect.
