Pinched nerve in neck treatment: Pinched nerve in the neck occurs when the nerves get compressed between seven cervical vertebrae. This usually occurs due to bad posture, age-related changes, overuse, or injury. Apart from the painkillers to provide pain relief, cold therapy is also advised to eth patients. The physiotherapy techniques used to treat the condition include cervical traction, which tends to pull the cervical vertebrae away from each other, thereby ensuring that the nerves no longer get compressed. Strengthening exercises to strengthen the neck muscles are also guided as a home exercise regime. For the radiating pain that radiates down to one or both arms, TENS or IFT is used.
