Cervical nerve pinch

Cervical nerve pinch

The cervical spine is made up of seven bony segments, each separated by gel-like spinal discs. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock and allowing smooth, flexible neck movement.

A pinched nerve occurs when a disc herniates, causing the inner material to bulge out and press against a spinal nerve. This can result from sudden trauma like whiplash or gradual wear from cervical degenerative disc disease. The compression often affects one side, leading to pain, tingling, or weakness.

Cervical nerve pinch Causes

  • Stiff Neck – Happens after sleeping in the wrong position or lifting heavy objects, causing muscle strain.
  • Neck Pain from Poor Posture – Can result from sitting too long in a bad position, often leading to whiplash-like discomfort.
  • Neck Pain with Headaches – Causes pain that spreads to the back of the head.
  • Neck Pain with Nerve Issues – Caused by conditions like spinal stenosis, a slipped or herniated disc, or nerve compression, leading to pain those spreads down the arms.
