3 Ways To Know If You Have A Pinched Nerve In Your Neck

Peter Chirico:
Hi, I'm Peter Chirico with Chirico Physical Therapy and Wellness. Today we're going to go over the answer to a question of how do you know you have a pinched nerve in your neck. There's three symptoms or signs of that, and we'll go over that in a second. What people usually tell us when they come in though is that they feel like they slept in wrong position on a sofa or in bed and they woke up in the morning with a crick in their neck. Other people tell us, they think they have a herniated disc or a bulging disc that's pressing on a nerve and causing pain.


The three symptoms and signs, that indicate whether you have a pinched nerve, that we can teach you today are the following. Number one, if you have constant muscle tension in your trapezius and neck region that feels like rocks that just won't go away and won't let up. You can also have, number two, numbness and tingling from your neck area down to your arm and into your hand area. Number three is muscle weakness, usually in the arm or hand areas. These are the three signs and symptoms of a pinched nerve.


If you feel you may be dealing with a pinched nerve or you've already been diagnosed with a bulging disc or a herniated disc in your neck and you have what we call radicular or radiating symptoms, give us a call. We can get you in right away for an evaluation and help you. Our number is area code 909-345-3370, or you can connect to us through our website at Chirico Physical Therapy and Wellness, or chiricopt.com.
