How can i treat a pinched nerve?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Disc herniation: Natural history, or the normal healing process, varies between people. However, symptoms can begin and disappear in days. Generally, i give my patients 6 weeks to 3 months for healing. Use mckenzie pt, nsaid's, nerve root injections during this time. If persistent pain, it is likely to be prolonged without surgical treatment. The benefit of surgery is faster return to work/activities.

Where is it: More information needed to help you. Is it really a pinched nerve. It could be ligament instability or sprain in the neck or back and might benefit from prolotherapy to resolve the issue in the most conservative fashion. Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org to find a doctor who does this work.
