What is a pinched nerve? A pinched nerve is the name given to the uncomfortable sensation, pain, or numbness caused when increased pressure leads to irritation or damage to a peripheral nerve (A peripheral nerve is one that is outside the brain and spinal cord.).
What causes a pinched nerve? The two most common reasons for a pinched nerve are a herniated disc and muscle imbalances, both of which are the result of âpostural dysfunctions.â These dysfunctions put abnormal pressure on the disc that will cause increased wear and tear over time. Eventually, the weak spot will give way and make contact with the nerve, bringing you pain.
