What It Is

When the nerve is irritated, everything downstream feels it.

A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues press on or irritate a nerve. Depending on which nerve is involved, symptoms can show up in the neck, back, shoulder, arm, hip, or leg.

Your physical therapist starts by discussing your symptoms, history, and daily activities, then assesses how you move to find the factors contributing to the irritation.

Treatment is non-invasive and built around you. It may include joint and spinal mobilization, soft tissue therapy for surrounding muscle tension, corrective exercises for strength, flexibility, and stability, and practical guidance on posture and movement.
