what does a pinched nerve look like
Two Types of Pinched Nerves. A pinched nerve can cause symptoms either locally, exactly where the site of entrapment of the nerve is, or it can cause symptoms that are distal, which radiate from that pinched nerve site down the arm, or down the leg or to other parts of the body.isual Demonstration of a Pinched Nerve. I'm going to show this on a smaller model set of the spine. Here I have two of the lower spine vertebrae: the L4 and the L5, or 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. These vertebrae are held together by elastic so it's very easy for me to demonstrate what a pinched nerve looks like.
