When do we speak of a pinched nerve in Hazerswoude-Dorp?

You speak of a pinched nerve when a nerve is pinched somewhere in your body.

Your nerves are a very important part of your body. They play a role as a warning for, for example, pain or if you touch something hot. They also take care of the feeling and sense of touch in your body. Your sense of touch is especially well developed in your fingertips. After all, your nerves control your muscles. When you think in your brain that you want to make a movement, stimuli go through your nerves to your muscles so that they tighten or relax.

Nerves start in your brain from where they run through your spinal cord to your body. If there is pressure on one of your nerves somewhere outside the spinal cord, we speak of a pinched nerve.
