The best you can do when you have a pinched nerve is to address the muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding the distressed area. In most cases, the cause is that the surrounding tissue has become inflamed and stressed from some injury. The main treatment options are physical therapy, massage or even medication. When treating a pinched nerve, it is important to locate and isolate the source, as it can occur in any area of the body. For example, a herniated disk can cause sciatica pain to run down the back of the leg.
