Pinched nerve recovery?

Jeff_Baldwin · December 4, 2003, 3:02pm

Hey all, I pinched a nerve in my upper back while doing jiu-jitsu/submission wrestling training almost 4 weeks ago. I have been under the care of a great Chiropractor for the past 2 weeks. My questions are,

(A) How long to recover with chiropractic care 3x per week?

(B) What exercises should I concentrate on to protect that area and prevent it from happening again?

Thanks in advance.

You need to see a neurologist, will need an MRI from the sound of it. Disc rupture high probability
