I got rid of my Degenerative disc disease with a herbal cure remedy from dr Oyalo . I met dr Oyalo on UA-cam channel with his name dr Oyalo and after consultations I got his cure and it really work for me
I'm 16 years old, and I have problems sleeping because of neck pain. I'm so glad I watched this because I think I've been doing the wrong exercises. Thank you so much for educating us about this 😓
Did it help doing the right exercises ?
i will give you some great advice.
1. Get a length of inner tube from a small motorcyle, like a 150 cc front wheel inner tube.You can get this for free out of many motorcycle repair shop rubbish bins.
2. Grasp the length of inner tube with both hands, palms down or forward, two to four inches apart.
3. Sit on a stool. Set your shoulders back and down (so your scapulae are flat) and keep your chin tucked (good posture) pull the tube apart in different directions - to the side, overhead, forward. One great exercise to to do these pull-aparts with your hands tounching the top of your chest. Again, pull back and down.
4. You won't get much stretch from the tube, especially at first. When you get stronger, you will get more stretch. But these are semi-isometric holds (meaning that there is little muscle lengthening and muscle fiber tearing but there is still some stimulation of the Golgi tendons, which makes it a very effective exercise) .
5. Maintain the holds at maximum strength (i.e., maximum muscle contraction) for at least six seconds (it takes a few seconds to build to your maximum contraction, so say ten seconds per hold). If you like, hold the holds even longer. I do the chest pull-aparts for up to a minute.
6. Your effort counts most of all. Put in maximum effort once you get max contraction. It is only for six seconds!
7. Do it just once a day for a few reps or even as many times a day as you like and every day too. Isometrics do not cause injury, but these are semi-isometric, meaning it is hard to overdo them, but not impossible. Have a rest day occasionally when you feel like it. It is up to you, but it becomes a little addictive, so watch out.
8. These exercises work hands, forearms, upper arms, shoulders, traps, neck, upper back and lats. You will be filling out your T shirts differently very fast.
If you do these holds as hard as you can, you will see results very, very fast.
Keep those shoulders back and down! Remember that. This is a very good exercise for those who spend a lot of time in poor posture at the computer or phone.
Me too
Tacos study a physiologist on you tube for the right exercises
How are feeling now? Can you share your exercises
I'm a hairstylist of 40+ years. Bone spurs, nerve pinching, periods of numb hands, long history of chiropractor visits of adjustments, recent mri with spine surgeon. I will change my approach in stretches to your methods. How have I not been taught this before. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for your content
Just wondering if Chiropractic helps or not.
if he hasnt got a degree in physiotherapy dont bother, joint manipulation is what you want @@noweare1
Damn! Can’t believe I have been faithfully doing neck exercises for YEARS taught by
a massage therapist WHICH DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD! Thanks for THE RESCUE!!!🔑
I was crying out of pain , just after 5 minutes of your exercises I can feel the relief
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Hi can you record the video on how you did it? I need help

How are you doing now
Dr Mandell you are an answer to my prayers. I have been suffering with this never ending head pain since August and a 15 to 20 minutes watching this video and doing chin tucks without the other bad stretches I have watched on you tube and been doing, my head pain, and dizziness is so much better. I will do these exercise and keep my face out my phone so much. This pain has effected my daily life so much I have to improve my posture ASAP. Thank you so much for this information
I've been having neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and just watching this video I followed what you were saying, and instantly I felt better. Not 100% but my neck muscles loosened up and my head was moving just like it was a hinge that had been oiled. And that explanation about the smaller disk space and compressing the nerves in the back is a lot of help to understand what kind of exercise is wrong or right.
I'm so grateful for all the things that you share, and the fact that you are doing this for free. Plus all your positive food for thought. God bless you.
Watching this video has made me so emotional, for the thought of how these amazing people give up their time to help others, couldn't talk to my hubby I was so overcome. God bless you doctor Mandell. 🙏😇❤️
I am a hairdresser and have all of these problems so I just want to thank you for this video because I’ve been searching for years for help and I hope and pray seeing this video isn’t too late. Love and God Bless YOU!
Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so very much for this invaluable information. I was diagnosed with spinal spondylosis, like many other people I know in their fifties, about 1 -1/2 ago and I've been through the mill with orthopedic surgeons who recommended arthritis meds and surgery, many wasted sessions at PT, plus a host of other remedies that did nothing (and in some cases made my pain worse). The chin pull exercises, after just three days, have actually made a difference, and now I have hope that by continuing to do these and correcting my posture, I can fix this and finally be pain free going forward. Everyone should watch this video. Thank you, Dr. Mandell.
You're the first chiropractor I have ever heard give exercises to strengthen muscles and realign things to ease pain. Most want you to come in regularly for "adjustments". What a breath of fresh air!
Okay Lyn bibili lng ako ng alimango ngayon
You are, unfortunately, a "rare one" among the medical community. Give Thanks and Continued blessings!
Dr. Mandell is one of the truly best Dr. I’ve seen in my life of 58 years, love him! He is so right. I’m almost crippled wish I found him much much sooner.
Doc i have this problem and hialal hernia and cannot sleep well dont with side to sleep on when i sleep on back i feel better bam happy for you sharing this info and for making my life better love you doc
EXACTLY what I have!
Im a nurse and it really helps to understand the whys and wherefores... I think if you understand and can visualize what's going on in your body, it helps you personalize treatment and you learn to care for yourself and take an active role in healing. So important!
Thank you for teaching us!!!
I actually blame nursing for my problem
Thank you for making this posture issue so clear and understandable! Especially, thank you for showing us how to fix the problem, both for ourselves and for our children. ❤
Dear Doctor Mandell i am 33 years old and had been having morning headaches because of my neck i tried ur exercises and its been 15 days i am bot having them GOD BLESS YOU WITHOUT UR VIDEO MY LIFE WOULD STILL BE MUSERABLE
Finally, someone that really gets it. My chiropractor and my gym instructor both have it wrong when they are trying to get people with compressed/bulging discs to do warm up exercises/at home exercises that actually harm them instead of make them better. I've gotten to where I know the correct way to exercise for my specific conditions. Thanks for your helpful/ insightful videos.
What kind of doc do you recommend going to? I have basic insurance idk if I can afford a neurologist but my primary doc is not able to help me with my problem. I get tingling pins and needles all over. Most problematic areas being my face hands and feet. I also get sharp pains all around my ribs front and back. Worse when eating high sugar diet and poor posture while sleeping.
@@jaydasorceress4304 always go to an osteopath, never chiropractor.

Thank you for sharing knowledge and love.
Thank you Dr Mandell.. I saw this coming via my son and his pre-teen friends, he is now 20 and the years of being in this position for hours a day, either gaming, on their phones and now hours in class at Uni. However, I am not a doctor so I am very happy to be able to forward this to him as he is more likely to listen to you. I love what you do and am thankful every day for you and your content and advice. May God watch over you and bless you.
I told my physiotherapist that the neck stretching exercises he wanted me to do increased the pain more and I did not want to do it again. I mean, that's why. You are a miracle Dr. Mandell!🙏
Unfortunately, millions of people continue to do stretching exercises shown by physiotherapists because of this problem; they are not getting better, they are getting worse. So sad. And besides you're paying to be worse.
I wish I have seen this before my neck and back pain ruined my life. I have spent tons of money and time trying to fix it, learnt and done those wrong moves you mentioned in the video. You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you, thank you so much!
I'm 18 and it's the 3rd time in months that I've experienced this neck/shoulder pain with headaches and nausea... I didn't understand what could have caused it until I watched this video! I'll try these exercises for sure. Thank you so much!!
I am in the UK and so thrilled to have found this video. I I knew my posture was bad and now I know why I am in pain and miserable. Just thought it was old age, I am 82 and do Yoga and Pilates, so pretty fit. I shall be doing these exercises all through the day. And no more sitting knitting at night for a while. Thank you so informative.
Dr., thank you so much for being you! I have suffered with neck pain for many year's, experienced neck surgery, botox injections (for pain), steroid injections, PT, massage therapy; the list goes on! A pain specialist 'accidentally' burned a nerve leaving me unable to lift my arm for months. What hurt me most is that this Dr threw me to the curb, refusing to help me. You have given me the most logical information and explanation that makes sense in understanding how to deal with my situation. Thank you so much and wish you were geographically close to me. I would hope to be your patient.
I have this issue and Physical Therapy had me doing all the wrong exercises. It made the pain, numbness, weakness worse!
I’m so thankful you posted this. 🙏🙏🙏
Are you in NY/NYC?
@@failednone6070why
When im watching Dr. Mandell's videos the pain that i feel always go away. I feel the relief, i feel the comfort.
Thank you so much Dr.
God bless you always
I have been in pain for days with vertigo all the symptoms and most importantly lots of pain. I have completely been doing the wrong stretching and after a few minutes just doing the double chin tuck I have relief. Incredible. So simple I was massively over correcting and possibly doing more damage to myself. Thank you for this channel.
No apology needed. Sometimes clear explanations take time. I appreciate you doc because I put all of your information to test and it passes 100% !
I’m 71 years old and I work out 5 times a week I do 10000 steps in 1 1/2 hours on a average day I walk 16000-18000 steps I also do weights.
Stretching properly is a big key to body aches.
I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis but I won’t let that stop me.
Do you take any pain medications ?
@@SRBOMBONICA86 no I don’t. The most I take is an aspirin I meditate and most days use mind over matter.
You must try turmeric? You wouldn’t believe it it fix all your problems in 1 day
I use it in my cinnamon tea with black pepper paprika and coconut oil
Take K2 so the calcium and magnesium go and stay where they are supposed to be.
God bless you Dr. Mandell. Very informative, educational, good video ! Thank you !
My daughter loves your videos
I watch Dr. Mandell's vids and keep saying, "AMEN BRUTHUH!!!"
Sadly Dr i waited ive shoulder issue and my neck its getting worse i really thank you for this video, nd ive turned on my notifications, i need to improve the discumfort and pain in neck back all start with shoulder issue, once again Dr thanks for the vid and all you do , Godbless
Thank you Dr. Mandela-I deal with this daily and really appreciate your explanation and exercise recommendations dos and Dont’s - I’m doing the right ones already and added one from your video. Love your channel. God bless you.
@@Nidge. i have the same condotion as you. You can messafe me privately and let’s share how to relieve the discomfort.I’m happy to share to gou what I’ve learned too.
Have suffered 6 whiplashes, discs are stacked upon each other with double bone spurs on each one. No one has ever given me more helpful and useful info than I learned here. Bless you!
Hey Doc, thank you so much for this video! I am only 57 but have lumbar stenosis in the last 2 years and now cervical spondylosis that has been flaring for about 3 months now and is just now getting a little better. Your video does such an amazing job at explaining to lay people like myself all about this condition. Because of my lumbar stenosis, which is so much better now after lots and lots of physical therapy and me committing to changing my gym habits to more like physical therapy than "no pain no gain" idealogy, I started swimming again more (have been a swimmer on and off again most of my life). Well, that is around when the cervical stenosis kicked in pretty bad...I am guessing that the flexion involved in the freestyle stroke is the culprit but wondered if you had any input about that. Again, I'm sure you are busy but these videos are invaluable to people like me and I might even start having my students do some neck exercises every day! I am hoping you have some input about my neck and swimming. I also have osteoarthritis in my knees and my right foot will go completely numb after being upright for more than 10 minutes. So, I am not even able to ride an exercise bike right now. Boooooo. All of this arthritis stuff is new to me. I broke my femur in half about 5 years ago and then subsequently had to have a hip replacement because those bones died due to lack of blood flow...and then all this arthritis stuff started. Ugg. Anyway, didn't mean to go on and on. Thanks again for this video and I would love any thoughts you have about this condition and swimming.
I watched this whole video on all fours with my head tucked forward and in.... felt relieved from my neck pain straight away... thank you so much Dr.
Thank you Doctor for the very useful explanations and warnings. God bless you for this public health service that you are doing. Many times our doctors and chiropractors are too busy to spend time making these explanations. The better we understand the anatomy and physiology of the problem, the better we can take and apply positive recommendations and avoid harmful ones.
Excellent information! Thank you. I woke up one day in terrible pain at the back of the neck and in the trapezius muscle. My doc prescribed physical therapy. Everything she told me to do simply cause more pain, so I just stopped. Now I have been watching you videos and doing those exercises that don't cause any pain and I feel like I'm improving.
Good video! Dr. Mandell. I had a stiff neck for two years. Finally got diagnosed with spinal stenosis and disc degeneration. Received surgery with spinal fusion and doing great! I would say I feel about 90 % better.
Best channel for neck pain in the web. Thank you, doc, you're amazing.
Basicly the W.W.W open doors for many gifted Doctors to share their opinion
I agree with u . This guy is a genius.
Amazing you're so right about now everything. Blessing to you. Thank the Lord there are people like you still around.
I was diagnosed with spondylitis 5 years ago and have gone through horrible bouts of spasms and pain. PT helped, but the MDs never explained to me about what it was or how to manage the disease. Thank you for this most informative video.
I was just diagnosed with cervical spndylosis and this informational video really shines a light on what I have been doing wrong. I want to thank you for this powerful information that I will use as a tool to relief some pain.
Finally, there is someone who addresses this incredibly big problem. This is exactly what I inform all my patients about. There are so many consequential problems that come because of this. Especially when the patient gets the recommendation to stretch completely wrong which only makes everything much worse! Thank you so much for this video. so valuable🤩👍🏼
Wa
Thanks so much, had neck pain and head aches for years, just five minutes of these exercises have really improved my pain and tension ☺️
May I know which exercises you do. Thank you!
@@user-ol2pw3yb8zThe ones Dr Alan shows in the video if you watch it.
What a lifesaver. I was looking for pain help and noticed all of the exercised I kept seeing looked (and obviously felt) like theu just inflamed my neck even more. I was like there NO WAY these aren't just doing more damage.
I think I just know my body, and I'm so glad I didn't stop looking because a lot of these people's voices alone make me so uneasy about their "suggestions" because they sound like they don't take the excruciating pain seriously. It feels like they all looked up videos from the same couple people and decided ro make their own scripts for a video.
I am feeling well enough to FINALLY sleep. Thank you
I’ve done years on and off physical therapy and light stretches and workouts…. Never made me feel entirely better. Once I tried your methods of stretches… I realized these are much much better for me and helped my mobility in my neck. I’m grateful for your information to give us knowledge
Man I love to hear smart people talk!!
Doing the chin tuck exercise while watching your video, and it eased off my stiff neck. Thanks 💚 😊
As a licensed physical therapist, this is very helpful.
In short, don't stretch backwards or sideways, that'll compress nerves. Instead, use the trap stretch and chin-tuck shown from 10:50 onwards, and the stationary neck muscle excercises at around 15:20.
I'll remember those. Been waking up with sleeping arms lately. Will also consult my local doctor for personalised advise.
Thank you. I don't like chit chat. I just want people to cut to the chase.
Thank you
Thank you for summarizing this.
thank you sweety
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you very much Doc... I mean, you're probably the best out there when it comes with quick but effective remedies.
Doc, thank you so very much for this!!! Procrastination has saved me because I had “saved” a video of neck exercises to help with my neck issues and found this one before I did all those wrong movements! You are the BEST and I will implement these proper exercises going forward. p.s. You make EVERY day a GREAT day and I wish the same for you❣️
I've been having severe back pain and posture problem and this video helped me greatly. Thanks doc!
The best Doctor i have ever seen on the Internet, God Bless you and your Family
So glad I watched this video. I've been following you for years now and you are priceless. I've been doing these neck movements all wrong, no wonder I'm in pain. Thank you for all your help. Now I can get my neck exercise with ease.
Thank you! I came across your video accidentally. I have cervical spondylosis and have been dangling my head left, right, up, down, trying rubber bands behind my neck and many more making sometimes the pain even worse. Trying just the few you mentioned for four days reduced the pain by quite a bit, definitely more than 60%. I can even ride my road bike with a minimal of discomfort by the end of the ride! Thank you!
You are the greatest guy to correct other UA-cam video's mistakes.
Great video, I have all those symptoms at the moment, probably from 40 years working as a painter & decorator. I have seen a neurologist and waiting results from an MRI. Even though my gp put my ear problems(tinnitus)down to the spine, the neurologist didn't think so, even though I said from my research it seems connected. I'm so glad you have explained it properly.
This was the greatest info given to me. I stopped all those stretches and just did the neck jut as I call it. My neck already feels better. And the heaviness is slowly leaving off my shoulders. Thanks
Perfect doc , the best doc on the internet i have seen most of your video they really help.thank you doc
All I can say is thank heaven for our doctor Mandell. God Bless you for all you do. With love xxx
Amazing Dr Mandell. I watched this video, and certainly stopped every kind of wrong exercise I have been following. God bless you!!
This one is in the list ofTop of 5 channels hands down,i relief my self every single day THNX TO Dr.Mandell
@PaleBlueDot 8
I want to thank you for giving me hope. I will be watching!!! Thank you
What a great person you are educating us on doing these exercises the correct way! God bless you Dr. Mandel. You are truly a blessing. Thanks so much. Ron 🙂👍🌴🥥❤️🙏
i was just recently diagnosed of this cervical spondylosis, i have few symptoms, tinnitus, vertigo, the pain on your eyebrow.. been searching for this video to know better about the sickness im having, thank you doc! you are a great doctor
This is mind-blowing! I have cervical spondylosis, a bulging disc at C2-C3, Occipital Neuralgia and Trigeminal Neuralgia. My Pain Specialist/Neurologist gave me exercises with neck flexion backwards (hanging backwards); neck flexion forward (chin to chest); leaning head to the Left/Right to stretch and also to pull gently looking downward at a 45 degree angle and hold all for 10 counts.
Which is absolutely shocking, because this lesson is explaining all of those movements are just causing more flare and more damage.
Thank you so much for the clarification!🙏🏽🌻
Man stop going to doctor they're already diagnosed you with too many diseases I got problems with neck too
One wonders where these "doctors" got their degrees? In a Cracker Jack box?
How are you
Dr Mandell thankyou for your excellent video. This video needs to be shared in schools, college's areas of education to support cervical spine health in our young especially, high uses of the internet!
Ur right
Has anybody searched this person's medical credentials and current status of licensure anywhere in the United States?
homayoun Shirazi ch5138 florida...but then YOU could have looked it up in like 5 seconds rather than alluding that he's misrepresenting himself. He accepts medicare which a lot of docs either DON'T or they bill for the difference which he doesn't. You should examine your own motives...bc he's helping a lot of ppl including me! Shameful man...really shameful.
homayoun Shirazi jealous?

My go to Doc! You have saved me so many times from desperate situations. God bless you and thanks.
I have this issue and yes, it has caused so many odd and painful symptoms. I'm so glad I saw this video because I'd just watched several videos demonstrating harmful stretches. 😬
I teach and am always leaning with head looking down and I just realized how much this has aggravated pain and stiffness in my neck!
Thank you for this info!!❤️
I am speechless. ......wawooo what a great message beside medical knowledge and what a wonderful explanation and look at the practicality. ..
Thank you Doctor, this is exactly what I needed for my pain.
Thanks Dr! You’re always coming up with what I needed to hear at the right moment ‼️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You have helped me so much! I was thrown from a car at age 14 and in a head on collision at 18. Lots of things that didn't hurt untill my later years. Wrong exercise for years. Thank you , you are a life saver.
Excellent as always Dr. I have painful left side neck into shoulder to elbow pain daily. Sciatica pain almost daily on my left side, I'm 60 and your video just now relieved all of the above the waist pain, and now I'm going to search for sciatica stretches perhaps? I'm sure you gotta have some in your treasure trove of videos. Blessings dear sir, and thankyou.😌🕉♾
You are doing a real social work doc....god bless you
Doc thank you so so much ‼️ You just turned my life around and I truly mean that because I had no idea what I was going through and I had all the symptoms that you just mentioned and with this 5 minute exercise you just showed me I feel relieved and so many ways 🙏 I am not lying You really just help my life
I am so grateful to have found your video.. I am 63 years of age and have just been diagnosed with degenerative disk. Oh my heavens , what pain I had but now I am aeating a test to see what extent of damage has been done. This video is going to be at the top of my page
Dear doctor, loved your style , the way you explain, encourage and advise us. This is always a great help for all of us.
I had a feeling this was the reason my neck would hurt more after those exercises they told me to do, so glad I found this video.
Thank you so much,Recently this problem started for me and I went to an orthopedic surgery facility to address it.They took X-rays and sure enough the degenerative disc was there ,however they gave me exercises to do that were useless.One of them was one of your donts! I’m so grateful I saw this .I stopped and did the stretching and isometrics . I feel 90 percent better .A million thanks to you .I am a devout follower of your videos!
Are you still well
Your approach is what I need, I will be watching everything I can to learn
Absolutely love your videos and thank you so much you explain everything so well.I am over the ditch in Australia and have been suffering worsening left side neck,ear,shoulder and arm issues for the last 8 months and now it’s getting to the stage I am starting to get excruciating headaches that go right up the back of my head to the my forehead and they will last for hours and I have noticed a slight tingling in the tip of my tongue but on the right side.Drs have ruled out stroke amongst other things but this pretty much started after visiting a chiro practicing the Gonstead method ! I woke 2 weeks after my 3rd visit with excruciating headaches that lasted another 2-3 weeks until I started seeing a chiro that specialised in cranial issues and dry needling which worked for a while but now my neck pain is starting up again and I have just got over a bad spell of vertigo and the nausea and lightheadedness that lasted around 4-5 days ….I now know after watching this that I have this condition .I also a subluxation (mid back) and chronic lower back pain since I was 19.I am going for an X-ray in the morning covering the cervical and thoracic area.This is being exacerbated by always sleeping on my left side,not being able to find the correct pillow and starting a desk job 6 months ago where I am on a busy switchboard 5 hours per day/5 days per week.I will do what you have recommended to do but if there is anything else I would love to hear about it as I refuse to go to a chiro again.
Ohmygosh, answered prayer🙏🏼 Just got diagnosed w/ cervical Spondylosis which I have no clue what is...Thank you for this video, Dr Mandell❤️
Hello
How are you dealing with the pain?
You are simply amazing! Thank you for putting these videos out... I have been in chronic pain for so many years, I honestly don't know what it feels like not to be in pain. You helped my neck and shoulder blade today. Thank you. 🤗
You saved me today! I've been in terrible pain all morning. Just doing a few of these simple but gentle exercises have reduce the pain somewhat.... Good start!
Dear Dr. Mandell, you do and once again did a great job. I appreciate what you do. I am particularly thankful for this video. At the moment, I am having a severe neck pain and you taught me something even my doctors did not say/explain.
Only one comment for helping other videos. It would be easier for us to understand if you state or point out the front of the body on x-ray and MR film at the beginning of the explanation.
I thank you much for the helping hand. Haluk
I think mine started about 40 yrs ago with my first bifocals being too high, they said I'd get use to them , but it just easier as my head got lower . Thanks Doc !
I got rid of my Degenerative disc disease with a herbal cure remedy from dr Oyalo . I met dr Oyalo on UA-cam channel with his name dr Oyalo and after consultations I got his cure and it really work for me
I really congratulate you sir for taking enough time and explaining us with diagram, exactly what we have to do with our problems of the cervical spondalitis. May God bless you dear brother. I would be happy if you teach about the back pain, both lumbar and thoracic. Thank you sir.
This is exactly what has happened to me. I had a C5-6 discectomy maybe 15 yrs ago. Terrible pain in my Scapula, neck shoulder, that radiated down my arm to my pinky finger, also numbness in finger. Took months for diagnosis! I had horrible pain, with no relief. Finally referred to neurosurgeon! Bam!!..had surgery in 2 weeks. Thank God! Moment I woke up I cried because I had NO Pain! Well now having repeat of same pain in neck/shoulder, Because I have not been well and not active and on my tablet Too much!!!!!! Your article is perfectly timed. I will see Dr soon and alter my tablet position and head position. Thank you for these great postings!
Hi. Are you still well
I have spondolthesis and have been told to do most of these same exercises by a physical therapist. I have noticed the ones requiring the turning of my head to the side cause pain, and now I understand why. Thank you for this video.
I’m 4 years late but so glad I found this video. I’m 31 and started having these symptoms at 28. It started with tension headaches then I started having tingling and numbness in my arm. I’ve been to the neurologist who did all of these test to tell me nothing was wrong but I was still in pain. He prescribed me gabepitin which didn’t do much. Never did he mention that my posture was causing my pain. He never suggested any of the exercises you’ve mentioned just a prescription and injections! Why are doctors like this?
so what you do now have u feel relief.
Why are doctors like that? Because money lmao
Most of the docs are stupid
Allopathic physicians are great for the serious diseases or surgery - otherwise, chiros osteos naturopaths are my weapons of choice...next to REIKI. 🧡🌹
Because they don't care about sick people. You're still young. Go to a physiotherapist and set up a proper exercise program to do every day to help your spine and muscles. Stick to those exercises because it's so easily to fall back to 0 and poor posture. Take care of your spine now and your older self will thank you. I suffer from multiple back issues too. Proper back exercises are our friends. Pills solve nothing in the long run when it comes to back issues.
Great video. Very informative. I am 45 year old female with OA at the c6-7. I have rounded shoulder posture and am working to correct this. Thank you for the great info and for your concern for our kids.
I like how much useful information you give within such a short time. I and my wife experience back and neck problems, and should invest our time in recommended exercises.
Thank you for this informative video, Dr. Mandell. You're a blessing to many.
Dr Mandell thank you so much for this video, it has been very helpful to me. I am wracked with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteo-Arthritis since I was 21. I finally got my neck x-rayed yesterday and was dxed with cervical spondylosis. I had been misled since I also have Fibromyalgia.
As a permanent makeup artist, I hang my head over my clients faces for 8 + hours each day. I can’t thank you enough for the information- the reason behind the symptoms! I’ve experienced horrifying vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus. . . I will religiously do the exercises you laid out clearly and easily here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much Alan. This is so helpful for me, and explains exactly what I'm experiencing, and what I've been doing wrong. Thanks again.
Thank you, Dr. Alan, for the advice in this video. I hope that you were able to combine these exercises in a video to end with a lot of meaning. Thank you again, and may the Lord bless you.
I have to say, you are a life saver! Family Doctors and specialists will not tell us what you're telling us Dr. Mandell. Thanks so much for your time and efforts! How can we reward you Doctor?
Share this video.. Is real reward for the doc
You are right... No doctor tells us this valuable inputs..
Thank you Dr. Mandel, my neck needed this information, bless you.
Thank you for showing the correct exercises for neck pain. I have been doing it wrong all these time.
Love that leaning left and right in the chair option! You can feel it in the whole back, not just the neck. Thanks!
