Identifying and Treating a Pinched Nerve in the Neck
6. Home Treatments
The primary home treatment for a pinched nerve in the neck is rest. Over-the-counter painkillers can help with the discomfort. Warm compresses, heating pads, and warm showers can also ease the pain.
Gently stretching and massaging the painful area can help a pinched nerve heal faster. It's not necessary to completely avoid moving the neck, but move slowly and smoothly to avoid jarring.
