Answer by  Salena (93)

The best remedy is to relax and lay down on something comfortable. Make sure that your not stressing the area that is pinched. Try some relaxing movements to ease the nerve. Heat, as in the form of a steaming towel, can also work.

A nerve can be "pinched" as a result of muscle tightness. You can try taking an anti-inflammatory such as Advil. Massage or acupuncture can also help.

In all cases you want to get the nerve "unpinched". Depending on which nerve you are talking about, and what is creating the "pinch", your route of treatment will vary. It can be as easy as doing a few self tractions, or may require going to see a registered massage therapist, chiropractor , or even a surgeory.

A pinched nerve is the vertebra out of alignment and putting pressure on the nerve. Go to a chiropractor and they will re-align your spine.

The best remedy for a pinched nerve is massage therapy if available. There are some serious cases where an individual may require serious treatment or consultation from a doctor or nurse. Most pinched nerves will go away on their own with a few days or so. Give it a day and see if it goes away.

Go to a chiropractor and have it checked. My chiropractor is so good that he can tell where my aches are coming from. I can't remember the last time I had a pinched nerve.
