Can you guys make a core strengthening exercises video for people with this/ disc bulge and stenosis injury combo? 🙏💚✨
Omg I’m 35 and dealing w these injuries all year! So frustrating. I was so happy I found this video made for people dealing w both of these injuries, Thank you! Love you guys!
🙏✨💚
I can’t do any press up\extension still. But still working on it. :)
2 years ago I severely hurt my back.
Sciatica, Pain could not walk more than 100 yards for 7 weeks
After I could, I started walking more, now I am doing light core exercises and what a difference.
No surgery or pain meds.
YOU can do it!
Think POSITIVE
My sciatica has gotten better after 6 weeks but is starting in the other leg. I couldn't walk either.
Did u take pain meds in the beginning?
@@stephenferguson Yes the very beginning stage of the injury, Mostly because of lack of knowledge. They gave me this "Nerve" pill that had terrible side effects. Told me to basically eat over the counter(forgot the name) inflammation pills like candy.NO NOT ME. It just takes a long time for the back to heal, but it will.
@@RobertCiampa9112 was it naproxen? Cause I’m taking that right now for my herniated disk and at the moment i can’t walk very far, what did you do to get to where you could walk farther, i would appreciate it greatly
@@scottmelton6991 Gabapentin Have faith think positive Doctors want you to take pills like candy. 3 years now and I am 90% better
Everybody's recovery is different TG I was able to persevere without drugs or surgery
I had a sciatic never pain issue last year. On April 4th I got up with severe pain. I could not walk for about 9 weeks. It was the worst pain ever I ended up in the ER and they just gave me a lot of medications that I did not take. I would cry everyday and just rub my legs with coconut oil mix with Frankensense oil and took Bosewellia and anica, 3 times a day. I also got massages finally I was able to walk but got this bad pain again but in my other foot. I used ice and heat. I still having pain everyday but not as bad. I am wondering will I ever be able to walk properly and do my 5 and 10 K runs
I hang from a tree in my yard to relieve my back pain. My neighbors give me funny looks but i don't care, it works!!
Make a video!! I want to see if I can get relief too
😂
People probably aren't really paying attention to you. I look at people, it's just the direction of my head, but I really don't care ... I have my own issues to deal with.
Next time hold a banana. Give em something to look at
Amazing, 60 with a 30 year old backache and did these easy exercises with immediate relief! Thanks! 👍🏼🤗
Did you have sciatica pain and bulging disk as well, and do you still do this excercises?
@@NansGlobalKitchen Yes, both. 3 bulging discs and I do the excersises as needed and to keep strong!
This is made for me. I have spinal stenosis and ALS I appreciate you guys so very much. I'm going to share this video on my fb page so I can find this whenever I want to watch it again and again 🤗
Today I over did myself picking up heavy things as like going to laundrymat. So the sciatica woke me up & I'm watching this. More I watch more your help is helping me. Thank you.
I’m 27 and have 2 herniated discs in my lumbar. (Due to 3 car accidents I’ve been in, the past 3 years) Some days are worse than others… but sometimes I forget I have this condition on the good days and overuse my back😢then I pay the consequences later with pinching pain especially in my right lower back. Thank you Doctor for these exercises. I will try to do these every single night… I just subscribed to your channel thanks for info. I’m a nursing student and I need my back 😅
I was diagnosed with a bulging disc and stenosis, bought an inversion table about 5 years ago which I use every single morning and I have no more back pain at all. It really, really helped me.
Where’s Bob?
Bob had the day off 😀
Wich exersize is best for both problem i hve same problem.?
@@humanbeing8381 my chiropractor gave me exercises and suggested an inversion table. I did that plus acupuncture and it all helped. It may take more than just one approach. Best to you!
@@vickimoseley7434 can you specify the exercises please.All the PTs and chiros near me can’t even properly diagnose the condition.Any help would be appreciated!
Awesome, great tips, thanks!!!!!
I love my inversion machine - just need the space, with love from Australia
Thanks, gonna try these!
Thanks Mike!! 👏👏 Thanks Jake!!
Imazing video thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you!
Great!! Thanks so much for this 👍😊
Thank you
Can't wait to try this
I like Mike. He did an awesome job!
I have had 12 hours of surg for spina biffida I also have grade 3 Spondylolisthesis along with degenerative disk they told me recently i have kissing spine syndrome whatever that is to add to the list your videos have helped me more than you could know...
Great info, greetings from Mangalore, India. I also have a bulged disc at 3 locations, let me try the chairs excercise..Thank you for the wonderful video
My back pain really started getting better after doing daily exercises to help my anterior pelvic tilt. Before that the inversion table was helping, but not enough. Afterwards though, it's amazing how much of a difference the table makes.
I loved my inversion table! I have combination of problems with my back. I have scoliosis of my lower spine and my upper spine is straight. This is an old injury from when I was a little girl. It was not diagnosed until I was a teenager. So there is literally no way to completely correct the problem. Where the two parts meet is always pinching the nerves and the disc is bulging to one side. The inversion table relieves the pressure and helps me to function somewhat more normally without major pain and pain medication. I still have pain but it is not as severe.
I had a grade 2 and ended up with a fusion and laminectomy at L4/5 a year ago. I naturally fused at L1/2. L 3 is kind of chilling on it's own lol. Fusion worked great. Laminectomy not so much yet. Left with not being able to bend over with pain. Walk/stand for only 15mins max. I'm 56 and feel 96.
This is what I need! They found 4 bulging discs in my lower back
Yup...Sciatica is what I have...Though my Bowel movements is Getting better...Things Are DOING Well Thanks to YOU guys with the Exercises that you provide.. 🤗🤗
Excellent, I like those hanging handles
This is great- are there exercises that help prevent these problems?
I’m 22, and I’ve had a herniated disc in my L4-L5, and spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication since I was 18. I had no idea why extension hurt me sometimes even though it was supposed to be good for herniated disc. Thanks for the information! Now I feel more comfortable self-treating and have some exercises to go off of
How are you now. I am also having same problem. How did you overcome this problem. Pls give suggestions for my recovery
Hi guys, thank you for your videos. I'm looking to see if you have a video for post cervical discectomy surgery as a family member having this surgery next week. What can he do in the weeks, months to come? Thank you in advance.
Bob gets a day off? Slacker! 🤓🤪😱 Love you all! ❤️❤️❤️
Good job, assistant guy!
Hey, this is timely-I was recently diagnosed with two bulging discs. I had an epidural steroid injection that has helped, but I’m trying to exercise and stretch to help heal the area.
I put a thumbs down because the injections I got were too painful and damaged my nerves and actually created horrible sciatica so made it worse.
I love my inversion table! It has helped the relieved the pain and pressure to my lower back. I have an upper back that is straight and my lower back which has scoliosis. Where they meet is always distressed. It has a bulging disc and pinched nerves. Plus many of the othe discs are compromised. Just by using the table a couple of times a day helps to relieve the pain and the stress on my and cuts down on my need for high powered, addictive pain medications.
When should a person with a bulging disc and spinal stenosis after they’ve tried everything, think about surgery? Yes, I’m talking about myself. Haha. In May 2022, I injured my lumbar region. Finally, had an MRI. The results came in last week confirming both L4/5 disc herniation and spinal stenosis. I’ve been to a number of chiros, and acupuncturists. Yes, I’m going to a PT now. It’s now Sept 2022, my lower back seems to be getting a tiny bit better. But, doesn’t feel like I can walk no more than 15 minutes without leg and foot pain. Mostly my “right” foot. Although I have zero pain when I cycle. Nothing. Standing and walking trigger the pain. Yes, I was a competitive hockey player when I was younger so I have an arthritic “right” hip. Left is better. I’m in line to get hip replacement. I’m 60, but very active. Or I used to be anyway. Yes, I follow your exercises as well as Dr. McGill’s. Recently, read, Gift of Injury. So, there’s hope.
Thanks, Gary
Works the way it is supposed to. Just Good
Hi Bob and Brad. How do you fix sciatica and leg pain when there are cysts in the lumbar in addition to cervical stenosis?. I see new orthopedist on Wednesday and hoping to get better to return to work. Prayers for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏
My BFF had this double diagnosis with sciatica and recently underwent surgery. They "installed" two metal spacers between her vertebrae. I'm worried this was an overreaction since she went to a pain clinic only. A little PT and two shots didn't help her feel better. I wish she would have seen this video first. I'm hoping for her sake the surgery will solve her pain, but she's still recovering so I don't know yet. It just seemed drastic and invasive to me.
I have a bulge disc and its a PAIN IN THE ASS to deal with.
Pain wont go away, even when i lost weight and exercise, it comes back.
Hope it goes away one day...
Something i don't wish upon any one.
Great info guys👍🙏
My back pain didn't seem to work itself out until I fix my anterior pelvic tilt. I would look into seeing if you have a pelvic tilt.
@@saul2571 How did you fix anterior pelvic tilt?
@@incognito326 I did a couple things. I don't do them a lot now though. First is this: ua-cam.com/video/K-CrEi0ymMg/v-deo.html It's like a weighted runner's lunge. It really helped me. Second I was doing the bridge exercise that B&B talk about. Clam shells also were part of it. I think the lunge was a major help with me though.
With the lunge exercise I was doing inversion. Those coupled together was amazing. I felt my back fixing itself. Inversion actually made my back feel as though it was separating when inverting for around a week. I felt really weird but it felt good. It was like nerve pain when initially inverting and when coming out of inversion. I was very cautious during this time. It really helped my back though. Now I invert and do the half push-up things to maintain. My hips have caused trouble after this, but that's probably a different issue. Overall now, I just try and be mindful of how my hips are positioned.
@@saul2571 This was exactly what I was looking for thank you!!! I will start working on it right away.
I have both with severe nerve pain. It doesn’t feel like the sciatica pain I’ve had numerous times. I can’t get insurance because it is too expensive and I don’t qualify for state insurance. I was supposed to go see a neurosurgeon this month but had to cancel due to no insurance.
I think you can do this - decompression - with a pair of crutches, if you happen to have a pair.
I wonder if my old crutches are still in the attic?
How many reps or how long would you recommend doing the decompression exercise with the two chairs ?
I have 3 bulging discs on L3 L4 and S1. I have stenosis, spondy, sciatica, neuropathy and carpal tunnel in both wrists so is there an alternative to that ezcersize you first did on the floor? So, the liquid that always forms around my knees is from what from? The same as what is in the disc?
I have all this except, stenosis etc, but I've got retrolisthesis instead of spondy, am I still OK to do these exercises? Thanks Brad xx
I do the decompression using the corner of kitchen benchtops. I have impingement in the right shoulder and it doesn't hurt to lift my bodyweight but hanging is definitely not possible.
I have the dubious distinction of having badly herniated L4 & 5, along with Spinal Stenosis. Two years ago I had Sciatica for three months. This is the first time I have seen anyone try to address those of us who have both. The good news is I do have a Teeter. I think I need to use it more often; like a couple/three minutes a few times a day 👍
Will you show how to hopefully heal herniated C3,4,5,6 and 7?
Nice GODBLESS 👻❤️👍
Is there an age restriction to this inversion table? I am 59 years old and have a table like that at home. Tried it a few times and didn't feel any relief - especially not immediately. I did however have problems with my circulatory system coming back up from about a 45 degree angle. Oh, I have a scoliosis in the thoracic area, a disc prolaps L3L4 with a spine stenosis and nerve root aggravation and a disc prolaps at L5S1 with a stenosis. Thanks for your time - you are the greatest
I'm in the pool alot to do water aerobics and swim. I hang on a noodle and just let my legs hang down. Is this good?
I don’t have pain going down the leg. It seems to be in the front of my thigh At first it it was painful but now just feels weird sometimes spongee
What happens if any type of decompression causes much more pain
Is there a discount code for the Teeter ? Thank you. 1/4/2022.
It helps to change diet to Avacados & natural plain veggies to build the joints. I lost 30 lbs, due to cutting sugar items/salty also.
I agree and pineapple juice, fresh squeeze and low on sugar
I have exactly what they’re explaining..herniations in my L5-S1, T9 and T10. I have stenosis and “spondy” at the L5-S1, and it’s a daily pain in the ass. Quite literally. Even more of one to explain to someone who doesn’t understand why I …”don’t just go to a chiropractor”?..
One of them gave me a year of adjustments when I was need of a discectomy.
Hey Henry, how old are you? (as you mentioned you have stenosis).
Also, how are your symptoms now? Did you get surgery done or are following a conservative treatment?
Asking this because I have been suffering from chronic lower back, hip, and leg pain for the last 4 months myself. Althoug taking anti-inflammatory medicines and B12 injections has a helped with pain in the last two weeks.
@@gauravsaxena8816 I was 32 when I had the surgery back in 2008, but I had the pain since I was a teenager.
@@georgehenry76 oh my god! After surgery, has everything been okay so far?
Had 8 surgery’s 6 inch rods,and whole back fused. Can I use this table to stretch out on?
It is crazy I have bulging disc, spondy and stenosis. Hope this helps 🤞
I don’t see the discount code for the Teeter. Any help?
I have degenerative discs, spinal stinks is, etc anything to help
Question: my rib cage sticks out all the time why is that?
Im 71 hurt my back years ago ,bought a tider ,used it for first injury, used it once a week for many years I hurt my back again, using it again ,so glad I have inversion ,it helps so much, I recommend if you buy one to make sure you have the one with extension handle, because it hurts me now to get in and out of the boots, I manage but its a important point! Best investment I ever made. They help!!!
When I use my Teeter I hang upside down at about 80° for 5 to 10 minutes and when I get off I have pain around my tailbone and I don’t understand it
I imagine that a spinal fusion would be a contraindication to decompression?
What is the discount code?
I have both issues
I have a pull-up bar and after I decompress my leg and back pain is virtually nonexistent until I either sit down or pan forward and reach down such as to pick something up off the floor or lean over and reach down to brush my dog. I feel great early in the day, by end of day the leg pain from sitting or leaning down gets unbearable so I have to constantly decompress
When you lean forward try to hinge from your hip. Keep your back perfectly straight.
Good luck!
Bob
Unbearable pain. I'm a disabled combat Vietnam veteran, '68. Helicopter crashes and hard landings never helped. I wish my therapist had known about these exercises. Eaglegards...
Wishing you getting better and happy thanksgiving on coming
Have you tried vibration plate therapy?
@@keralee Thxz. No. I'll look.
How did he hurt his back?
I have the combination. Hurts so bad.
Hopefully this will help!
I now have both too: grade 1 spondy, in L4-5 and mild bulge in L4-5 . Went to a spine specialist. He has me on a 6 week conservative program: weeks 1 and 2 are meds only (Celebrex, muscle relaxant, and something from nerve pain). Weeks 3 and 4 are meds and PT. Weeks 5 and 6 are PT only. Just started yesterday. How did your condition turn out?
@@BobandBrad how can someone who has chronic pain from sciatica do these exercises? I was diagnosed with bulging disc and canal stenosis and the pain is debilitating 😢
I am from the U.K and I have no idea what this is! My surgeon doesn’t recommend this because this is for a minor bulge not a long term one. I have had so much help and this would make it worse! As I followed your vids and I ended up in A&E! So thanks guys 🥲
How about swimming? In your opinion
hello, i had cancer and stopped walking for almost one year and since then my calves have been getting weaker and i cant really lift my bodyweight
is there any way to build strength that don't involve your own weight??
Seated calf raises.add weight onto your lap as you get stronger 3×10.hope it helps
You can do water therapy/physical therapy pools. It helps you gain back muscle and balance without using your body weight. It is the easiest on your body and you are able to add ankle weights or even arm weights as you build your muscles back up. You start out slow and the the water is set at a certain temperature so it isn't too hot nor too cold. I hope that you will consider this option as well. Have a blessed day!
Water therapy in a pool!!
Vibration plate therapy. They have come waaay down in price as decent knockoffs are available on amazon. All you do is turn it on, stand on it for 15 minutes/day. Done. If very weak, start by sitting in chair, resting feet on the vibration plate. Developed to rehab astronauts, they lose a ridiculous amount of muscle being in zero G.
My MRI shows desiccated disc and disc bluge reported with neuroforminal stenosis L4-L5. Will these excercise help me ?
Did anything help you
What if you have no disc?
I would think that once you are done with traction/decompression, gravity would take over again and your spine will return to its original shape🤔. Right?
Good question. I can't answer for anyone else, but it has done that with my spine. I had complete relief when I was going to pain management and they would do the traction/decompression with a machine while strapped to it and it would slowly stretch my spine out. But when it would slowly make my spine go back to its normal position (when the time was up) the excruciating pain would come back before it completed the duration of therapy. I had this done a few times a week for a couple of years, and then, off and on over the years. I'm still at square 1 with my hips and spine, sadly. I just really hope that there are people out there that have truly benefited from this and are doing quite well. Have a blessed day!
I have 3 bulging discs and 1 protruding disc(not sure what the difference is?), with spinal stenosis. I'm in agony most of the time. My job has me on my feet for 8+ hours) the physical therapy helps but it's such a temporary relief (seconds or If I'm lucky minutes) need help!
Hey Chris, how are you now? Did anything like physio or anti NSAID work? Please share your experience.
I'm 25 years old and have been experiencing lower back pain after working on construction. Last week I went to work with lower back pain and pushed through the whole day with it. After the long day of shoveling cement I could barely walk during the night because the pain got insanely worse. Woke up the next day the pain was still there and I had a lateral shift and I have been working on it for a week with some specific exercises and it has gotten better the pain and the shift. Now I have a bit of a pain on the front and opposite side of the shift, maybe the hip flexors IDK. Anyone know or have experienced this that can help me?
I have been thinking and the exercises I have been doing the most is side glide standing to correct my lateral shift and maybe that's what's causing the muscles in that area to hurt. Can anyone tell me if this happened to any of you?
Maybe you have tight muscles. Did you try the decompression exersizes? That helped me for a bit but it felt weird. I used my bed for this. I layed on my stomach and drooped my head over the edge. I felt gravity stretch out my back. The pain went away 2 days later. Chiropractor said i had 2 pinched discs.
Check excersises for si joints.
If after 6 months of regular dedicated exercises, there is no improvement, is surgery the only option left? I don't have acupuncture available where I live.
Just go with surgery I've had this 15 years pain never stops now I'm fighting for surgery cause I'm fucking done lol
oh Simone...i would never ever revommend back surgery...ive never seen anyone really really happy with the result...it can be devastating & permanent....so i would do..try. everything else first....in the water etc
Read Back mechanic, by prof.stu McGill ,saved me. Surgery not good...
@@sdhaynes69 it seems having an inversion table really helps a lot of people. inverting every day is important from what i am hearing here.
@sdhaynes69 I just received the book. I have started reading and sooo far .... stretching and posture is KEY
Nothing had worked for me i have a herniated disc and the worst pain in my lower leg (pinched nerve) every exerise is painful i have to go surgery my worst nightmare i never thought i had to consider sugery
I hope you are well now... any updates you want to share with us
i have that pain in the left buttock lower back pain i have 2 bulging disc L6 and L7 do bulges get better? it's been a year and i still hurt it start with a pinch nerve in the neck and i had tingling down my left arm and two fingers tingling has stopped and i'm having lower pain now
Hope your feeling better
I hope you're okay, try crawling?
I've been told my Stenosis was hereditary even though I played football from 9-20yrs of age.
Are there options for older/weaker clients for decompression that don't include inversion table?? Thanks
Water therapy/PT pools are the best when it comes to the old and the young alike. Almost effortless movements, exercise and strengthening without using your full body weight and is very easy on your spine and muscles and allows you to build up stamina, muscles and balance at a slower pace...if need be. I hope this helps with finding an option that you will benefit from like it has done for me over the years (even helped my grandmother after having both knees replaced and post-op rehabilitation from spinal stenosis). Have a blessed day and take care!
@@quebie77 thanks for your reply ann. Swimming is fantastic, good idea. Ive just graduated University and always looking to expand my knowledge with the tools I have to help clients.
@@WhiteRapunzel You're very welcome! Congratulations to you on your accomplishment and I'm so happy to hear that you are taking in all the various information that can help another human being! What a delight! Wishing you and your clients all the best...🤗
I use anti-gravity boots and hang upside down from my feet.
I am single 30 years and I have disc bulge and spine canal stenosis , should I get married with this condition I'm really confuse n worried
🤣That Wisconsin O!!!!🤓
I have tried all the exercises and the inversion table but none have worked.

Funny video
1st🤗
Nice to see hot young studs! LOL
These guys are going from a minor first injury hit long term! They do not state that! If you did this to a person with long term back issues it will cause you to have a trip sit A&E so get to right boys thanks! Ps my surgeon doesn’t recommend this at all!
I tend to love your channel, but this young, overconfident person adds very little! (I wouldn't keep going with this person.) Also, you mostly ignored the guy who hurt himself, until the very end.
You seem fun
This chainsaw worked well to cut up a pile of cedar logs ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and stumps. I used it to cut 12"-16" diameter logs and a handful of odd-shaped stumps that were larger in diameter. There was more than enough power even when using 2x100' extension cords. Be sure to use the right gauge extension cord, since you should be using a slightly higher gauge cord than the standard extension cord most folks have around the house. My 2 favorite features of this saw over previous ones I've used are the built-in sharpener and the quick stop after the the throttle is released compared to a gas-powered chainsaw. As soon as you release the trigger, the chain stops spinning immediately because of the electric motor. Standard feature of most of these electric chainsaws, but worth mentioning here for anyone not familiar with it.Bottom line...I needed a chainsaw to get through some backyard cleanup of logs and tree stumps. For the price of renting a chainsaw for a few days, I got this Oregon chainsaw that got the work done, and now I own it for future use.
Thank you
How did he hurt his back?
