What are symptoms of pinched nerve in the neck?

In: Back and Neck [Edit categories]

Answer:

Pinched nerves in the neck mostly cause neck pain, headaches, or referral of symptomes into the arm or arms. An example would be ar or hand pain, arm weakness, tingling in the arm or hand, or a hand or arm that feels like it's falling asleep. This usually involves a lower cervical nerve. Sometimes a higher cervical pinched nerve can cause headaches also. The bottom line is that if you cut off nerve supply you will get symptoms of some sort.

If you think you suffer from this I would see your doctor or chiropractor. At home I would use a neck roll or the cervical traction pillow to help align the spine and help relieve nerve pressure.
