What causes pinched nerves?
The most likely place for pinched nerves is along the vertebrae. the spinal chord has branches that lead of it to the various parts of the body. the bones that make up the vertebrae are made up in such a way as to allow these nerves to pass between the joints. However when the cartilage and other material between the joints wears down or is damaged in some way you end up with a situation where the bone starts to push on it pinching it and interfering wit the messages passing through it.

Should you put heat or ice on a pinched nerve?
Heat, anti-inflammatories, and a muscle relaxer if you've got it. Like pinched nerves in the back (from disk herniations), a lot of the real pain from pinched neck nerves (which can indicate a disk problem in the cervical spine as well) comes from the muscles spasms caused by the nerve being compressed. Heat helps loosen the muscles, and allows for increased blood flow to the area to heal. If you do use cold (it does help some people, but it can irritate already sensitive nerves) use it for short periods, then add heat. What it boils down to is that the combination reduces the inflammation, relaxes the muscle spasms, and increases blood flow to promote faster healing.
What are the symptoms of a pinched nerve?
Pinched nerves in the neck mostly cause neck pain, headaches, or referral of symptomes into the arm or arms. An example would be ar or hand pain, arm weakness, tingling in the arm or hand, or a hand or arm that feels like it's falling asleep. This usually involves a lower cervical nerve. Sometimes a higher cervical pinched nerve can cause headaches also. The bottom line is that if you cut off nerve supply you will get symptoms of some sort.If you think you suffer from this I would see your doctor or chiropractor. At home I would use a neck roll or the cervical traction pillow to help align the spine and help relieve nerve pressure.
