Two Types of Pinched Nerves. A pinched nerve can cause symptoms either locally, exactly where the site of entrapment of the nerve is, or it can cause symptoms that are distal, which radiate from that pinched nerve site down the arm, or down the leg or to other parts of the body.isual Demonstration of a Pinched Nerve. I'm going to show this on a smaller model set of the spine. Here I have two of the lower spine vertebrae: the L4 and the L5, or 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. These vertebrae are held together by elastic so it's very easy for me to demonstrate what a pinched nerve looks like.
The second most common nerves that can be pinched are your neck nerves. Pinching your neck nerve can result in arm pain, weakness and altered reflexes. A pinched neck nerve's symptoms can appear similar to common arm conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow and rotator cuff injury. If you have one of these conditions and it is not responding to treatment, maybe it has been misdiagnosed. Please seek quality professional advice for a thorough assessment.
