How to Fix a Pinched Nerve

How Does a Nerve Get Pinched In the First Place?

Your nerves transmit signals throughout the body. A nerve is considered pinched when it is compressed or subjected to pressure that interferes with the nerve's ability to transmit those signals.

Depending on where the pinched nerve is located, you will experience pain differently. Most pinched nerves are described by pain radiating through the body, which makes it hard to identify where exactly it is originating from.

Can you treat a pinched nerve?
