They are a piece of cake compared to a Electromygraphy exam...

I see a chiropractor. hes really good and has helped me to go from not being able to get out of bed to being able to walk around. I have also seen an acupuncturist and to my disbelief she help my back get to a point where my chiro was able to make an adjustment.
for temporary relief I used a product called "Cryoderm" to help with the pain.

I got pinched nerves in my back from time to time during my baseball days. The only remedy for me was to keep it warmed up with heat and to see a chiropractor.

Cortisone, Darvocet-N and Soma - in any combination to include all three -

Fixes up all my aches and pains. A few months ago had a cortisone shot to fix up a sciatic nerve that was damn near crippling me to where I couldn't even walk. Went bowling two days after that shot.

Wish it came in six-packs!

Only thing that sucks about it is that it is so temporary.

I had a TENS and didn't really pay attention to the Dr. when he gave me directions.
Went home and started using it.
Day by day, I found myself cranking it up a notch.
Eventually, I went back to the Dr. and told him the darn thing didn't work very well any longer.
Turns out I got numb to it and had it at a level that should have had me jumping, yet I got use to it. They took it away from me.

Tried Tens once, forgot what setting Dr. said to start at...went the highest and bam......twiched so badI could'nt turn it off!!

A good chiro, ice, and Ibuprofin. As others said a good chiro is sometimes hard to find. Mine is my former neighbor, great guy. Best of luck.
