Pinched Nerve In Your Neck? Probably not!
We see patients in our office every day that have severe neck pain after they have seemingly not done anything to themselves. Conversation goes like this. "Doc I woke up this morning with a pinched nerve in my neck. I can't turn my head or can barely lift it. What can I do?" or, "I turned my head quickly and felt it seize up and now I have this pinched nerve". This "pinched nerve" is usually not an actual pinched nerve at all, rather it is inflammation of a cervical facet joint termed cervical facet syndrome.

What is a Trigger Point (TrP)?
A small portion of a muscle fiber becomes locally shortened or “knotted up”.

Most will get better but some will have started a nagging, painful rotator cuff tendinopathy injury.
