If you have had plates screwed in to alleviate compression it is likely that C6 is slipping anteriorly pushing the spinal canal onto the spinal cord. This is likely because of weakness in the ligament structure or narrowing of the canal which could be congenital. Chiropractic or manipulative therapy aims to change the muscle tone in the tissues to affect how they hold onto the vertebrae to relieve restrictions. In a case where the vertebrae have been fused together no, it will not work as the bone has been anchored tightly to stop it slipping and compressing the spinal cord and manipulation will not change this. Unless acupuncture can affect a bony change and create more space in the vertebral canal it will not work either. Depending on the cause and severity; unfortunately it is likely that surgery is your best option for spinal cord compression

Yes, long-term spinal cord compression can result in permanent nerve damage. I suggest that you seek medical assistance. You need a MRI to determine the level and extent of nerve root compression. I would be most concerned with the extensive loss of feeling you document.
