you would have to go under a full assessment before anyone could treat your problem. The therapist would have to develop a treatment plan for you that would work best. This isn't a quick fix, the therapist would need to do tests to determine what nerve is affected and what is compressing it. Once that is figured out, a treatment plan can be implemented by a registered massage therapist. Do NOT apply heat unless instructed by the therapist, it can and will likely irritate the area and cause painful sensations in the surrounding area. Do NOT have deep muscular massage as suggested in a previous answer. If this is treated incorrectly it can cause permenant or long lasting problems.

Homedics sell a really good product for this type of thing as it has a infrared heat included in a hand-held massager. The massager relaxes the tight muscles; and the infrared heat really helps to ease the pinched nerve. I have tried it and it really helped me with similar problem. Good luck getting this handled!~

You should not really massage an irritated nerve or you can make it worse. I would suggest Robaxacet (OTC muscle relaxant) or something similar...that works wonders for my back...and apply moist heat to your neck and shoulder.
Get a small towel, wet and wring it, put it in the microwave for 2 minutes and when you take it out (watch it's hot!) put it in a plastic bag and place it on your sore neck/shoulder. Let it cool down to a comfy temperature so it doesn't burn. Those two things are really the best for the first day or two, then add a heating rub and gentle massage when it starts to feel a bit better. It will stiffen so remember to do the heat to relax it.
