Can a pinched nerve in neck create numbness in hands?

I had all the tests last year- for carpal tunnel syndrome, they came back that I had a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome- I recieved injections, which lessened the numbness- but the pain remained. I then had an mri which came back no damage present. I was rear ended years ago and had my top three or four vertabrae in my neck spun around like quite a few degrees from where they needed to be at. I was seeing the chiropractor for this injury, but never got the vertabrae completely back to where they needed to be. Could this injury be causing bilateral carpal tunnel like symptoms?

Yeah there is a possiblity that it could be, a friend of mine spun one out of place abit a few years ago and was paralyzed on his entire left side. It took months to heal fully with chiropractors and physicians, but its possible it could be the cause of the CT like symptoms, but don't worry everything can be fixed in time.

Yes. My mom had surgery for just that reason last year.

I have been suspecting this ever since my treatment for the ct didn't get rid of the symptoms, my hands are my life and I guess I will have to go back to the chiropractor and see what they can do about getting things realigned.
thank you guys immensely for your input, it is greatly appreciated.!!!

I am having numbness and tingling in my left arm and hand. Although improved from seeing the Chiropractor, he is sending me in for an MRI since it has not gone away. Is this what you are having trouble with?

Whenever I bend over to pick something up, it is so bad I could just about pass out. I am having to learn to bend at the knee again like when I was young and in better shape

many of the nerves in your neck and jaw run directly down to your arms and in 2 your hands so if the nerve gets damaged in any way it can affect anywhere from the neck to the hand...depending on how severe the damage is can have fatal consequences, some people can become paralyzed from such incidents, but if its only a pinched nerve it should be fine :D

yeah, the pain and numbness is in BOTH of my hands, the pain happens from simple things like working my mouse back and forth on the mouse pad. I notice some pain when I use my thumb and hand to pinch something and lift it vertically. normal usage of my hands- like when I am using a hand file to file a project- that motion creates pain, it really has become uncomfortable to do my artwork or any of my other projects, but I have learned to block it out and carry on. looking forward to what the chiropractor can accomplish- anything is an improvement- and I am sure I will feel better with those vertebrae back in alignment.

thanks again for all the input- it is deeply appreciated.
