What is a pinched nerve? ▼

A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles, or tendons. This pressure disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.

How can I relieve a pinched nerve at home? ▼

Home remedies include rest, applying ice and heat, maintaining good posture, gentle stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoiding activities that worsen pain is crucial for healing.

Do pinched nerves go away on their own? ▼

Most mild cases of pinched nerves resolve on their own with rest and conservative home care within a few days to weeks. However, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention.
