Assuming you have a doc make the dx for you, Yes. I recommend inversion tables for some patients with chronic problems with disks. The traction can help decompress the disk. Check with your Doc before self treating.

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.

What is the treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck?
I'm no expert, but I recently had a pinched nerve in my neck. My advice would definitely be to go to a doctor, chiropractor, or osteopath, etc because depending on where exactly the nerve is, the treatment is different - and if you don't get it treated properly, the nerve will die (after a long while I think) and you won't be able to feel the part of your body it connected to.Anyway, I went to a chiropractor, and she adjusted my neck to make sure every thing was properly aligned, and then instructed me to do the following:Ice the affected area for ONLY 20 minutes, once ever hour (I just wrap an icepack/bag of vegetables around my neck). I'm supposed to do this for the next 4 days or so and if the pain (and numbness maybe in your case) doesn't go away, see her again.And take an anti-inflammatory pill, like Aleave (I think) or Ibuprofen (which is a NSAID -- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug). I think Advil is made of the same exact thing as ibuprofen so that works too. Make sure it's OK for you to take these kinds of pills though by asking a doctor -- I researched Ibuprofen once and it has A LOT of possible side effects, many of which are rather scary.The reason for icing and the pill is to reduce the inflammation caused by the nerve being pinched, and this is supposed to relieve the nerve, I believe (again, I'm not an expert).Anyway, make sure you see a professional for your specific case because it may not be the same as mine.
