A member asked:
Is c5-c6 impingement a pinched nerve?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yeah: Yeah at times you will note on a radiology report that a bone spur (osteophyte), or herniated disc is causing nerve impingement. That is the medical way of stating it is pinching the nerve in question.
