A pinched nerve can be treated with massage, acupuncture, and sometimes herbs. These modalities can relieve the stiffness and tightness gradually.
Good question. I am sorry to hear that you are hurting. Acupuncture as well as massage and chiropractic care are options for pinched nerves. Let me know if you have any other questions. Dr. Ruth

Depends on what is pinching the nerve. Hard to answer without knowing.
I have had great success with pinched nerve pain using acupuncture. Nothing else that I know of actually works on the source of the problem as opposed to pain meds just masking the pain or surgery which often doesn't resolve the problem.
Potentially a few things could help with a pinched nerve.
Acupuncture can help to relax the muscles in the area. This can let the spine adjust and remove pressure from the nerve.
Massage can help relax the muscles in the area, letting the spine adjust and removing pressure from the nerve.
Physical therapy might be able to help free the nerve and strengthen the muscles in the area.
Any of these modalities could work, what you try is dependent on which providers are available in your area.
