How Neuromuscular Therapy Helps Pinched Nerves in the Neck

A pinched nerve in the cervical spine can cause sharp neck pain, radiating discomfort down the arm, or even tingling in the hands and fingers. At Raymond Joyce Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is used to address both the pain and its underlying causes.

NMT focuses on the soft-tissue structures surrounding the spine—muscles, fascia, and connective tissue—that can compress or irritate cervical nerves. Tight muscles like the scalenes, levator scapulae, trapezius, and suboccipitals often contribute to this type of nerve impingement.

Through slow, precise pressure and trigger-point release, NMT helps:

• Reduce muscle tension that may be compressing the nerves

• Improve circulation and reduce inflammation in the neck and shoulders

• Release trigger points that can mimic or intensify nerve pain

• Restore postural balance, easing forward-head or “tech-neck” strain

• Promote nerve recovery by improving muscular and neurological communication

The result is often a noticeable decrease in pain, improved neck mobility, and restored comfort in daily movement.

At Raymond Joyce Massage, every session is customized to your specific muscular patterns and pain history, helping you move freely and confidently again.
