Answer 1

Go see your GP and get a referral for a neurologist (Nerve doctor). I had that condition for several years and was being treated by a chiropractor. It turns out I had a malformed disc in my neck that was pinching the nerve. Surgery corrected it. Chiropractic is good in some areas, but it isn't a cure-all.

Answer 2

Simply put. The pinched nerve is a regular occurance in most people due to not streching properly during the day. You should really streach several times daily in various ways. Try cat streches in the morning, lunch and dinner for five minutes. Try reaching as high as you can with one hand at a time in alternating fashion. All streches do is provide more room between the tendants and the muscle, allowing the nerve to move and rotate naturally. We tend to have liited movement when it comes to everyday activity, so loosen up and stretch a bit. Don't expect results in five minutes but rather give it two to three days. It has taken several days to compress and shrink the area, so give it time to expand again. Another fine tool and excersise machine is the upside down bed, that hangs you inverted for several minutes at a time. This stretches out the vertibrae at the back of your neck and lower back. Have a good day.

Answer 3

You really need to go see a chiropractor. What you have is a subluxation, when your spinal column is out of alignment and the little nerves between them get pinched.

Medical doctors will do different things to fix it...such as drugs and surgery. Chiropractors only study and treat the spine and how it affects the rest of the body...so they will give you treatment of the CAUSE, not only the symptoms. Chiropractic is a more holistic form of health care.

If it is an emergency, of course...go to the emergency room or call 911. Hope you feel better!

First, go and see your primary care physician. They will probably run some x-rays to find out just what disc is causing the hierniation. Second, they will probably either refer you to an orthopedic doctor who will suggest physical therapy or your primary care physician may just suggest physical therapy. You can also try a chiropractor; however, most medical doctors don't beleive in that kind of therapy. I had two heirniated discs in my neck from whiplash and it worked for me!
