The most common place for a nerve to be 'trapped' is in or around the spine. Pain commonly radiates from the site of a nerve impingement into the arms, front of the chest or into the legs. Releasing the nerve relieves the pain. A nerve may be trapped by a stiff or dysfunctional joint, swelling, a protruding or prolapsed disc and/or muscle spasm.
