What r the treatments to fix a pinched nerve in the neck and is ice or heat better to diminish the pain i have severe neck and head pain on the left?

Several treatments : Are available. But in order for a treatment to work, an accurate diagnosis is absolutely required. See your pain doctor for physical examination. Heat helps with muscle spasm from nerve irritation, cold helps with the pain.
