What does a pinched nerve feel like?

If you think you have a pinched nerve but you are not sure, there are a few common symptoms that could help determine if it’s the cause of your pain. Pinched nerve pain can present itself at different times, often when a person has been sitting or in the same position for long intervals of time or if they are performing a certain motion.

Pain as a result of a pinched nerve can begin in the back or neck area and travel the length of the nerve, moving through arms and legs and even to feet and toes at times. Pinched nerves can also result in severe headaches or radiating pain in the body.

What are the primary causes of a pinched nerve?

There are a few different ways a nerve can become pinched. The spine can become misaligned and cause one of your vertebrae or discs to move or protrude and pinch the nerve, nerves can also become pinched as a result of disc degeneration (usually in older patients) or arthritis can cause a nerve to pinch. In any case, it’s important to understand why the nerve is pinched before beginning treatment, and our team can help in this area.
