A pinched nerve (known clinically as nerve compression or radiculopathy) happens when surrounding physical structures—such as bones, joints, bulging discs, or spasming muscles—apply excessive pressure to a nerve root. This compression disrupts the nerve’s ability to communicate clearly with your brain.
How a Pinched Nerve Feels
- A sharp, burning, or electrical pain shooting outward from your spine
- A constant feeling that a hand, arm, leg, or foot has completely “fallen asleep”
- Noticeable muscle weakness or a lack of coordination in the affected limb A localized sensation of numbness, tingling, or hypersensitivity to touch
