The Best Exercise To Fix A Pinched Nerve Causing Neck & Arm Pain (Cervical Radiculopathy) | Dr. Matthew Posa Milton Chiropractor

In this video, Dr. Matthew Posa, a chiropractor in Milton, Ontario will discuss the cause and demonstrate his best stretches/home exercises to fix and relieve a pinched nerve in the neck, or cervical radiculopathy.

There will be 5 stretches shown to help give you some relief. The first 3 will be more general and focus on decompression or traction of your neck and the next 2 will be more spinal corrective to help establish proper nerve root and spinal alignment.

The main causes of a pinched nerve in the neck are a disc bulge or herniation, degenerative disc disease, bones spurs (osteophytes), and tight neck muscles. Poor postural patterns like forward head posture or a loss of normal curve in the neck can also contribute to a pinched nerve in the neck. It happens most often in your 40's and usually only involves one arm. Signs and symptoms are pain/tingling/numbness in the neck, arm, hand, between shoulder blades and sometimes headaches. Numbness and tingling and hand and arm weakness can also occur.

Improvement usually takes between 4-6 months, but in some cases much longer, up to 24+ months. The good news, most will recover without needing surgery.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions or which of my 5 stretches for a pinched neck nerve worked best fro you.
