What to Do for Pinched Nerve Pain in the Neck
A pinched nerve in the neck can cause pain, numbness, and weakness that extends through the neck, shoulder, and arm.1 The medical name for neck nerve pain is "cervical radiculopathy." While the symptoms of a pinched nerve in the neck and shoulder can be really uncomfortable, treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck can help.
