I think I did something stupid this weekend in the yard and twisted my left shoulder in a odd way. At first I thought I strained it, but now have symptoms more of a pinched nerve. Doesn't hurt at all anymore.

Should I just wait this out or go see a doctor or chiropractor?

Having periodic numbness in forearm and fingers and down the medial nerve. Nothing too bad, but more annoying.

I would go to an orthot or Arrosti before a chiro.

Airrosti is almost all chiros so going to Airrosti is going to chiro. Their focus is different than traditional chiros with an emphasis on soft tissue work.

I am biased but I would see a good physical therapist in your area after seeing a doctor.

True, but Arrosti isn't going to crack your back then tell you that you need to come back every week for the rest of your life.

A good PT is actually the best idea after seeing an MD.

Also a decent chance it'll fix itself in a week or so.

Just like you have bad ones, there are good ones out there too. I've had great experiences with chiropractors and some terrible ones with MDs, specifically orthos.

Already feel like it's 95% better and haven't done anything about it.
