WHAT IS A PINCHED NECK NERVE?
All the nerves that control the sensation in your arm originate in your brain, travel down your spinal cord, exit out your neck, and travel down your arm.

If a bone or disc or muscle irritates or “pinches” against that nerve, it can cause symptoms of numbness, tingling, or pain to travel down the nerve into your arm.

HOW TO TREAT A PINCHED NERVE IN YOUR NECK
If the cause of your pain or symptoms is your neck nerve getting pinched, the way you treat it is to remove the “pinch” from the nerve.

This can is best accomplished with massage (to loosen tight muscles and promote relaxation), stretching (to increase motion and decrease tension), mobilization (to eliminate the “pinch” from the nerve), and strengthening (to ensure the pain doesn’t return).

HOW TO KNOW IF A PINCHED NECK NERVE IS IMPROVING
If you perform an exercise or activity that causes the symptoms in your arm to get closer to your neck (i.e. if symptoms are to your elbow and then move up to your shoulder) that is a good thing. This is known as “centralization“ and is a sign that the irritation to your nerve is decreasing.

However, if you perform an exercise or activity that causes your pain to travel further away from your neck (i.e. if your symptoms are in your shoulder, and then you feel them down to your elbow.) this is a bad thing. This is a sign that you are increasing irritation to the nerve, which is causing your pain to travel further down your arm.

My deepest condolences to anyone who's experiencing a pinched nerve in their neck. It'll get better. Great stretches!!

I've been in constant pain for nearly a year with a ton of tingling in my fingers. Neck and shoulder pain, headaches. This is excellent for alleviating the pain.

[charmainetimm]

I did your exercises twice a day for several weeks…..I got I immediate relief after only a couple days! I had been excruciating and waking me up at night. I can now get by with every other day, but I tend to keep them up.THANK YOU!!!!

I came across this video after a Google search, extremely happy I did. I damaged my C5 n C6 on my spinal cord during an accident, they jumped each other an had to be fused together. I experience neck pain daily. These exercises have changed my daily life. Thank you!

Dr Jared, I have been suffering neck and shoulder for three days now, and finally found your video. Thank you so much. Immediate relief arrived after doing the exercises in this video. Your explanations helped immensely as well.

Thank you I can feel relief already and will start doing the exercises regularly 👍🏻

[jandl]

THANK YOU! I’ve had 30 years of neck pain from repeated neck injuries and thought that I knew which physio exercises to do after multiple rounds of physio, regular chiropractic and massage appointments. Your threading the needle was the missing link! Thank you so much!

[brendadesmarais]

Thank you! I’ve been in really bad shape so your timing is perfect!

[dmariareid]

Hi, I just been to my neurosurgeon today after 6 weeks of physio. Pain keeps coming back except my arm. I just tried all your stretches and I'm shocked. Now without pain in the areas which were tight. Thank you and I'll make this blog my daily routine. Oh c4 c5 bulge, c6 - 7 herniated.

[stephaniefuller]

Thank you so much!
After being in pain for 6 months I am finally getting some relief. My doctor finally scheduled an MRI to see if it'll show the root cause. In the mean time this as helped a lot.

[valeriewest]

I feel optimistic about these as the answer to my pinched nerve. I like your delivery and the practicality of doing these without equipment. How many times a day would you recommend going through the complete set of stretches and exercises? Thank you!

[busterbazo]

SO HELPFUL!!!! I was in excruciating pain and now it's a lot more tolerable. Can't wait to keep doing this and be back to normal!!! Thank you SO much!

[dmqbwmv]
