A member asked:

Can a pinched nerve in the neck or head cause you to be off balance and have daily body tremors? how would a pinch nerve be diagnosed?

Dr. Jason Siefferman answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Yes: Some of the nerves in the neck connect with your balance system (c2), and this nerve is sometimes blocked to treat vertigo. Mri may be helpful, or it may not. Tremors are another issue and most likely unrelated.
