What causes a pinched nerve in the Neck? And how to fix it!
What is a pinched nerve?
A pinched nerve can also be referred to as a herniated, slipped disc, bulging disc, ruptured disc or even degenerative disc disease. They’re all essentially the same, just depends on who you talk to. The most common terms are bulging or herniated disc.
In real terms, a pinched nerve needn’t have to be associated with a disc – a muscle or other structures can pinch a nerve as well. Classic examples of this are seen in conditions such as piriformis syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome.

McKenzie Neck Exercises
Here are how to do the McKenzie neck exercises correctly. They are by far the best exercises to do for the majority of neck pain for a couple of very good reasons.
The first reason is that they are designed to put extension forces onto the lower cervical vertebrae which is exactly what you should be doing (but more of that later).
The one thing that i would like to add is that these are very good exercises but they are simply that, exercises. They must be used in conjunction with good postural habits, that is sitting and standing ‘tall’.

Neck pain exercises.com is a site dedicated to make you pain free by teaching you firstly why you are in pain and secondly how to fix it yourself.
When you have neck pain, exercises are one of the best ways to remove your pain however it’s incredibly important that you know exactly which ones to do. If you do the wrong exercises when you have pain in your neck you can make your problem a whole lot worse. Having said that, doing the correct exercises can make you a whole lot better. So here is the quandary, which ones should you do?
Look on the internet and of course, you will see all sorts of exercises that are recommended to do for your neck pain. Unfortunately, not all of these are good to do and in fact some of them will make you measurably worse. Why is this?
Take a look at the most common cause of neck pain and you will first and foremost understand why you have pain In the first place and then when you understand this, you will also be able to get a better understanding of which exercises you should be doing.
Let me explain:
Over 80% of neck pain is postural. (see: The Major Cause of Neck Pain)This is very good news. I t’s very good because if the majority is postural then the majority of neck pain can be fixed very easily through postural education right? Right. Do some exercises on a regular basis to counteract the amount of forward bending that we do in our daily lives, stay away from being in a forward head posture for prolonged periods of time and you are well on your way to a pain free neck.
This is exactly what you must do to stay pain free! Stop sitting and standing with a forward head posture. Do corrective exercises that do not worsen your problem but actually improve it and then once you are out of pain you continue to implement these on a daily basis? It is that easy! How do I know? I have treated thousands of clients over the past twenty years and have shown them exactly how to do this and they too are either pain free or at the very least, much better than before. Oh and by the way, I can honestly tell you that I have not suffered from any neck pain whatsoever for years. I work for hours on the computer(taking breaks every forty five minutes) and am acutely aware of my sitting position( not slouching), I do the neck exercises to counteract the amount of looking down that we do and do not fall into a forward head postural position EVER!
