Pinched NervePinched Nerve / Herniated Disc
* Compressed Nerve Spinal NervesThere are 3 kinds of spinal nerves that connect the spine to the rest of the body:* Sensory nerves carry feelings such as temperature, pain and texture to the brain. * Motor nerves carry impulses for movement to various parts of the body * Autonomic nerves control involuntary processes, such as blood pressure, heart rate and digestion. Recommendation for A Pinched NerveThere is some amount of controversy what exactly qualifies to be called a pinched nerve. Some nerve compression specialists believe that neurological tissue can be compressed by bone only. Others believe that a herniated disc might also cause this condition to occur. Arthritis can definitely cause bone spur formation leading to reduced nerve signal. Herniated discs might create nerve pain for a short time (6 to 8 weeks), but long term nerve pain rarely comes from a herniation.
Regardless of the cause of your compressed nerve pain, the most important thing to remember is that the pain is temporary. The fastest way to feel better is to not obsess over the pain and to have trust in your body to heal the problem.
