For those of us who have suffered a pinched nerve, you realize just how inconvenient and painful it can be. A pinched nerve can occur at almost any part of the body where a nerve is present and can occur as a result of bone or cartilage pressing on the nerve itself.

Here are some of the most common areas where a pinched nerve can occur with few treatment options.

Sciatica is probably one of the most notorious cases of a pinched nerve that occurs in the body. It is important to note that sciatica is not a condition in itself. It is indeed a symptom of another condition in which the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed. Since the sciatic nerve is long enough - that pass through the lumbar region at the back of the thigh towards the feet - there is more likely that nerves may experience some form of disturbance. The pain of sciatica can vary from mild to debilitating and often occurs just in the lower back, buttocks or hips. It can also cause tingling that can go all the way down into the feet.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

This can be seen in people following a repetitive stress injury, such as that which is every time someone types frequently. This can be extremely painful and can cause numbness in the hand and fingers.

This system can often be a viable option for back surgery to relieve the pain of pinched nerve.

Finally, there may be times when surgery is needed to mitigate some of the pain of a pinched nerve. In general surgery is done to the bone or cartilage that is compression of the nerve can be moved from the road.
