It depends on where it is, and the amount of damage to the nerve. If the damage is such that surgery is required to preserve the functioning of the nerve and function of the extremity involved, then that is what is offered...
Sometimes --like in a herniated disc in the lumbar area-- surgeons wait to see if the disc will retract and no longer press on the nerve; approximately 70% of the time the disc DOES retract within a 3-6 week period, and surgery is no longer considered...
Some home remedies or treatments would be ice to the area where the pain is. Alot of times the pressure on the nerves comes from surrounding inflammation. Another good idea is neck traction. This will open up the spaces where the nerves exit off the spinal cord and is typically where they can get pinched by inflammation, a disc, or spinal misalignment, or all of the above.

What happens when you pinch a nerve?
If you pinch the nerve then you will have a reaction worse then what you would feel when you get a regular pinch. The nerve is the symptom that causes the pain when you get pinched , so if you get pinched on your nerve exactly then you would have very painful reaction that could maybe cause the place that got pinched to be numb for a few weeks. But to actually pinch the nerve you would have to open the last layer of skin. It would be nearly impossible to pinch the nerve so in that case pinching the nerve would hurt if you had surgery that cut through all of the layers of skin, and a doctor accidentally pinched it, but you can't pinch the nerve without all of the layers of skin open.
