What Causes a Pinched Nerve in the Spine Spine Surgeon Explains

Why do nerves become pinched in the spine? Patients with neck pain, back pain, or radiating arm and leg pain often ask whether the problem is caused by a disc herniation, bone spur, or arthritis. In this video, board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Deepti Jain explains the most common causes of nerve compression in the spine and why it’s often not just one single issue. Topics covered in this video: • The most common cause of a pinched nerve: degenerative spine arthritis • How disc degeneration and bone spurs contribute to nerve compression • The role of facet joint arthritis in spine pain • What ligament thickening (hypertrophy) means in the spine • How disc herniations can press on nerves • How spinal instability or abnormal motion can irritate nerves • Rare but serious causes like spinal infections, tumors, or trauma In most cases, nerve compression occurs from a combination of age-related degenerative changes in the spine rather than a single structure. Dr. Jain also explains when nerve symptoms are not an emergency and when certain red flag symptoms require urgent evaluation, including: • Fever with back pain • Unexplained weight loss • Muscle weakness • Bowel or bladder problems For many patients, the right time to seek care is when symptoms begin to interfere with daily activities or quality of life. Understanding what causes nerve compression can help patients better navigate treatment options and know when to see a spine specialist. 🔔 Subscribe for expert spine education and back pain guidance:    / @fixyourbackpain   #PinchedNerve #BackPain #NeckPain #SpineArthritis #DiscHerniation #BoneSpurs #Sciatica #SpineHealth #OrthopedicSpineSurgeon #FixYourBackPain
