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.
