The term ‘pinched nerve‘ actually refers to any condition where compression of the nerve causes a range of sensory (’feeling’) and motor (’movement’) related symptoms in the affected area. While a pinched nerve if often believed to affect the spinal nerves only, due to compression between parts of the spine, it can actually affect any nerve in the body. The severity of the symptoms will depend on the site that is affected, the extent of the nerve compression, movement or other aggravating factors as well as duration of the compression.
