A member asked:

Would an irritate nerve cause my neck to seize up? i tried stretching, heat, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractors and my neck is still seized

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You are alluding to a pinched nerve as in a herniated disc? This could cause muscle spasms, and from what i understand of your question, seizing of the muscles. Have you seen and MD for an evaluation of the neck and it's nerves?
