What Can You Do About a Pinched Nerve?

A pinched nerve along your spine can cause pain and discomfort – in some cases limiting your ability to move and to enjoy life.

A pinched nerve can happen anywhere in your body if something puts unnatural pressure on one of your nerves. Among the common pinched nerve conditions is radiculopathy, which hampers the nerve root where it attaches to your spinal column.

What It Means To Have a Pinched Nerve

There are many potential causes of a pinched nerve. Essentially, anything that’s capable of putting pressure on one of your spinal nerves is a potential culprit. This includes surrounding tissues, bones or discs that can disrupt the nerve’s ability to function normally.
