Cervical nerve compression may cause numbness in the upper body, including the top of the head, shoulders, wrists, and fingers. Patients are advised to maintain a regular diet during treatment and avoid fatty foods, high-sugar foods, spicy foods, fried foods, and stimulants such as coffee. The most common non-surgical treatment is cervical traction, which increases the space between vertebrae to relieve pressure.
