- The majority of spinal degeneration and disc pathologies come from poor posture of the neck. It is important to make sure proper muscle stabilization is present for proper healing.

Hospitals and chiropractors, they don't tell you this because they want you to keep on coming back for their service. Helps like these from this doctor is really a miracle.
I honestly believe it’s because they are not taught how to treat without symptom management
Be careful with chiropractors, I now have a neck injury.

Really was thinking to have a session with them as i have disc cervical bulge
You are absolutely right, my friend.
It’s a very sad fact! 😢 Self education is key! These videos are priceless! ❤
I’ve waited two weeks before leaving this comment as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t imagining the change. For the past 3 months I had been suffering with sometimes unbearable pain in my neck/upper back which was radiating down my left arm. Every day I woke up it was like a lottery of which part of my back was going to be twitching and in pain. I had over 10 sessions with a osteopath and chiropractor with no luck. I was spending hours each day massaging and stretching trying to relieve the pain. I actually genuinely thought this might be a permanent issue with my neck that I wouldn’t be able to fix. I was in the middle of a holiday which had been partly ruined by the pain when I stumbled across this video. After doing this exercise a few times I started to feel the pain subside. I kept doing the exercises around 3-4 times a day and couldn’t believe it when the pain started to disappear. I still have some odd tingling down my left arm on occasions but the pain has pretty much gone entirely. I really can’t thank you enough for this video and the impact it has had on my life and general well-being. Thank you!
thanks brother . going thru some tuff times myself with pain radiating from my right neck to almost whole side of the body for 2 months now from 4 years ago injury. Overworked myself with pain and I was concious but just kept knocking jobs out before winter gets here mentality. Then a week after slowing down and cold weather hit my foot flared up with lots of foot pain when walking was a slow 2 weeks as it slowly made bearable to walk normal with shoes. all that pain is on the right side of my body then 2 weeks later strained my thumb spreading plaster on the wall and its been a month now. I think injury is healed hand is just stiff from tight muscles and nerves. everyday is better and i can feeel it getting better exercising and self theraphy and yoga.
How are you doing now? It’s amazing that you wrote EXACTLY what I’m going through now.
I've been going through the same thing you've mentioned above
21 years of pain inbetween my shoulder blades is now completely gone!! It was extremely painful at times. I cannot thank you enough, THANK YOU!!
I dont think i have ever commented on youtube but I really wanted to for this video.
ANYONE WHO HAS NECK PAIN PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! IT MAY HELP!
I went to a chiropractor and he snapped my neck at the wrong time, then for almost a year I had pain in my neck when i sat at my computer or endured stress. My living is through computer work, and feeling pain at work is very stressful so it was a never-ending cycle with the pain shooting up the neck and causing me headaches. I went to a specialist who just said with time it would heal itself and I looked on the internet without any real answers.
With tears in my eyes I finally looked around youtube and found your video. I didn't expect much but this towel method(actually I substituted a towel with a plastic bag) instantly reduced my pain about 90%. Now my pain has 95% disappeared and I don't expect it to ever be 100% but all I wanted was to live life normally and you helped me with that.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!! EVERYONE AT LEAST TRY IT!!!!!!
thats awesome bro
not only neck. anyone who has shoulder, arm or upper back nerve pain, watch this !!

Wow...
I was in the same case, doctor and nurses said it's muscle strain, so I found it online my diagnosis. especially in the morning can't lift my head it that painful. thank you so much.
I saw this video and you can really see he understands pain. Nothing worst than going to the doctor and treats you like the pain you are having is not a big deal.
I just did this exercise for less than a minute and it took the neck pain I had been having for the past 2weeks away. That is freaking amazing.
for ten years i have chronic neck pain , and in ex ray i have nothing wrong , so for this ten years iboprofen was my friend , but now after 1 week doing this exercise iam much better .... thank you
Hasan Shamli thats great
Can you update on how you are doing?
chpalmtree I am doing it 3 sets at morning and another 3-sets at night daily now ... but at first I did it once dealy ... and about how to do it just follow the video... best regards

How to cure nerve in shoulder blade and also sick sapula ,my right hand is just below the normal position and I can't feel my right chest muscle,please help me to overcome this problem
I'm a natural bodybuilder and was having constant neck and shoulder pain, tension, and burning. After only a few days of doing these exercises I feel like a new person, the burning went away along with the pain and tension, thanks doc!!
The same exercise I was recommended by 2 local doctors, but I never did it seriously doubting the results. But after watching the same exercise being advised by an international doctor, I think i'am gonna do it regularly now. Thank u Dr!!!
You are the man! I've been going to a chiropractor with no help. This has gave me my strength back almost instantly. Thank you so much
Thank you so much Doctor! Getting to the root cause of the problem is what I was looking for!! Your exercises are helping a lot. I appreciate you giving this free advice over the internet. What a good service you are providing the community.
Please continue with your videos. I have many neck , back and hip problems because of an accident, the only thing which really makes a difference to all the pain I have are your exercises. You are the best Dr. Mandell. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much Dr. Mandell, I started doing these exercises just yesterday and have notice that the agonizing pain in my shoulder is almost gone and my range of motion has almost returned. My shoulder hurt so bad at times, it felt as if my arm was literally going to fall off. I agreed after you said what causes this in the first place. Bad posture. I work from home on the computer all day and at night it seem I don't sleep in the right position either because my shoulder would hurt even worse in the mornings. I appreciate your videos and you don't know how much my shoulder was bothering me. I knew it seemed to be a pinched nerve because I had a similar issue a year ago and it lasted about 6 months. I thought it was permanent but after seeing a chiropractor and getting massages, it mysteriously disappeared just as it came. But 100% this exercise video is the best and has help my situation tremendously. I will continue to do these exercises because they do release the stress in my neck hopefully I will build a better posture. Much respect and continued success!!! Carl
Hey there Brandon, those stretches are safe. When ever you do stretches the cardinal sign is pain, so if you're having pain doing the exercise you would want to cut back. X-rays are only going to show you hard tissue (bones, joints, alignment), as MRI will show you soft tissure (discs, nerves). Adjustments should not cause you pain, you might want to get another opinion.
Hi. I'm having pain in my back side of my head nearly for a month and i made MR brain and it shows everything is fine but also i feel a bit pain in my neck. can i have your opinion what could it cause that. i really need help I'm having pain more than a month. i did some massage it help me a bit but i still have pain. what should I do. thanks!

how can we workout (fitness )with cervical issues
2 weeks of pins and needles and arm pain and did this exercise last night and as I cycled into work for the first time in 2 weeks, no pins and needles. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thank you - this worked miraculously. Two days with pain and nausea. This exercise removed the nervy headache almost completely. Will continue this exercise daily. Thanks again!

Dear Dr. Alan Mandell
I can’t thank enough for the information, the education you compassionately provided to help folks with DDD via your series of videos.
I was diagnosed and suffered much pain caused by the cervical DDD.
This DDD has impacted much on my life quality, on my productivity, and a hindrance to the work which I love to do.
However, yesterday I was able to resume my frequent tennis game without any pain thanks to your valuable information, guidance on how to cope with, and how to HEAL my cervical disease.
I’m VERY grateful to the work that you have done to help folks like me to either reduce or eliminate the DDD pain caused by our ignorance. To my belief this is the work of a bodhisattva !
Honestly, your educational series is not only resource that I have counted on to cure my cervical DDD ( I also went for therapy, applied some oriental, traditional principles on how to cure disease etc .. ), but yours is a big contributing factor for my healing, an amazing recovery to me !
So I just want to express my sincere gratitude to your bodhisattva work which helped me to gain back my life, and I try to share these videos to as many as possible so they won’t be a victim like me.
You have done me a big favor and I’m looking for the chances to partly return your favor. Please let me know if anything I can do.
Thanks,
Khiet Nguyen,
This exercise unpinched my nerve this morning! Thank you so much, I have tried everything to get better! I had a bad fall on my outstretched arm and experienced many symptoms for two years such as Numbness, pain, tingling, weakness, muscle spasms, and electric shocks. The doctors x-rayed me and said I had no broken bones, so I figured it had to be a pinched nerve. I was unable to tell where my pinched nerve was because of numbness. I finally figured out it was my neck through internet research, since I knew my ulnar nerve was being affected and that a pinched nerve in the neck can cause numbness in the back of the ribs as well as an electric shock feeling. My nerve was being pinched at the bottom right of my neck. The nerve still feels a little irritated, but I feel like i'm on the road to a full recovery thanks to this exercise and prayer. I'm so happy, now I can take back the two long years i've suffered from this. Thank you, and God Bless! :)
Hi, I'm glad you've experienced a positive change. You should be patient and smart not to inflame the area that's trying to repair and heal. Nerves do take a lot long to repair as compared to muscles and bones. Be aware of your posture and lifting. Good luck. Doc Alan
motivationaldoc Understood, patience is definitely a virtue with this type of injury. I'll definitely have to be mindful of my posture since i'm bad about hunching over to play games or use my computer, so i'll try to limit those activities just to be safe. My arm no longer feels like something is pulling in it and i'm not feeling any pain. My right arm still feels different than my left and i'm often feeling a tiny sensation in my neck (probably the part of the nerve that is damaged from being pinched). I'm so relieved that I can focus on letting it heal now instead of fighting to get it unpinched, Thank you .
Oh thank God I found you. I've been in terrible pain for the last two weeks with pinched nerve in neck, radiating through my shoulder and down my left arm. It is as described in this video. I tried the exercise with the towel for 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and although my pain is still there, it's reduced quite a bit. Haven't been able to sleep for days with this terrible pain. But I'm confident over time this exercise will reduce it significantly. ANYONE WITH THIS KIND OF PAIN MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO.
Thank you, you literally have helped me beyond words. Hands were tingling non-stop and keeping me up at night. Only your exercise helped me!
wow im 26 aand know wym, at a point in life how important exercising is ... how you feeling now?
I'm a dentist and I've been in so much pain at work all day. Massages helped but I knew I needed to strengthen some muscles - this gave me immediate relief and I can even do it at work! thank you!
Dr. Alan Mandell you and Dr. John Bergman are a Godsend. I wish I found you years ago.
Dr,
Thank you!
Been doing these exercises 6 days a week for almost 5 weeks. Pain is GONE! Nerve is no longer pinched. Really appreciate your easy to apply how to. Cannot thank you enough!!!!
Excellent! God Bless
oh my god!! 5 weeks? :(( so sad. but i will do it. I live in Republic of Georgia, there was no theraphyst, who could've helped me... i felt such a pleasant pain in back after i did this exercise for the first time... i really hope that will help. god bless you sir.
Dr. Mandell to THE RESCUE, again!! 👏🎉😍Thank you SOOOOO much!!
I was diagnosed with a subluxation degeneration about 20 years ago. This is the only movement that has increased my range of motion. Thank you Dr. Mandell!
OMG! Thank you! I've been in so much pain for over a month now. This exercise has helped me so much already and I've only been doing it for just over a day. Havent taken any painkillers since I got up this morning. Wow!!!
This is a miracle. I had a pinched nerve, and a tingling from the back of my right shoulder all the way down to the fingertips. I've been doing these exercises for about a week and a half, and it's almost gone now. Where is the Donate button, you saved my life.
I know it’s been a long time since this was posted but I’m also having this issue. Mine is on my left side after picking up my daughter. My shoulder muscles were swollen for about a week. It’s getting a little better. But my clavicle is now in pain too. I went to the er thinking it was my heart but they did all the tests and said heart is great but it’s a nerve issue coming from my neck. Crazy how one issue can make you feel this way.
@@x.Kristen.x I still continue to do this. The times when I slack on them, and when I slip up on my other posture exercises I notice the symptoms return. Since you mentioned clavicle I figured I would share a few more tips, as my issue is a separated shoulder, so my collar bone isn't even connected at the end. I highly recommend getting a cheap pull up bar for the doorway and hanging by your hands from it. Rowing too, get some cheap resistance bands, wrap them around that pull to bar, and row away, that's helped so much! Good luck to you!
Instant improvement when i followed your instructions...the pain immediately minimized.. Thank you
Thank you for proving instant relief and within 18 hours overnight I feel a new person after 9 weeks of shoulder, neck and shooting pains in right forearm, I am ever grateful, watched at least half a dozen or more of your videos and it helped overnight! Went to professional physiotherapist, chiropractor and massage specialists and reduced intensity of pain slightly but getting to understand and resolve the cause of the problem was the key as per your advice. I changed office chair and home chair last night after changing pillows a week again which helped. Exercising the right muscles through your professional advice was invaluable. I am normally a super fit person running marathons and playing great golf and any and every sport as a natural but had never experienced this kind of pain and discomfort in my life before. I would not wish it on people I dislike and I have a high pain threshold so continued with all my activities whilst wincing silently in pain for 9 weeks with nobody who knew how to help. Every experiments but nobody really knows. So you proved all that wrong and I would recommend you to the whole wide world as an absolute and reliable expert who can provide instant solutions. I wish the rest of life could be like that! Keep up the great work. You happened in the nick of time as I am about to travel to the Arctic to watch my daughter run the YUKON MARATHON. Now I can really enjoy being there! Have a great life further!
Blessings to you and your family , and good luck!
Pinched a nerve in my neck a week ago to the point that I lost weakness in my left arm. I notice my tricep was not as strong and a little weakness in my hand. for 1 week I laid on the couch before seeing this video. I tried the exercises and as of now i'm not feeling any pain. Now its time to build my arm strength back up. I think this was mostly brought on by stress. Thank you
+Paul Skow Hey man I been dealing with the same pain, is been 3 weeks. I tried working out when I felt better and the pain is back. Did you gain strength back fast?
I got most of it back, pain is gone for now..
Yes, you can do this lying down by pressing the mid part of your head into a firm pillow. Remember to keep chin tucked in neatly.
Thanks a million!!!! This worked! I am now pain free after 2 days of agony.
Temporary ?
'Treating the cause rather than the symptoms or disease itself'☑️☑️☑️ You are the best!!!!
The purity of consciousness and clarity of purpose reflects on the doctor's face. God bless you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. I HAD PAIN AT MY NECK, SHOULDER, HAND, FINGER FOR THE PAST SIX MONTH. THIS VIDEO IS THE CURE!!!..I DON'T FEEL THE PAIN ANYMORE.
Thank you so much! I did the exercise just a few times as I watched this video and it feels a lot better! I'm going to do it daily and work on posture too : )
This is great Dr Mandell. I am a 71 year old fit and healthy woman, .who over the years has had Chiropractic treatment, I have not needed treat for over 10 years. But during the last 2 months I have had what I thought to be a pinched nerve, causing all symptoms you mentioned. This morning I found your UA-cam videos and have done a couple of the exercises and worked on the pressure points, I can feel the difference already and know that if I do the every day my spine will be back to normal. Thank you for your clear and precise instructions. Maria
Blessings to you and Maria❤️
I wish I had found this months ago. Been in pain for over a year, tried this and the relief started immediately. Pain has reduced straight away, THANK YOU!!!!!
I just went to an orthopedic surgeon yesterday and he gave me a diagnosis of Degeneration of Cervical Intervertebral Disc around C3 C4. He Rx'd a med I that won't be taking and PT. Tonight I was souring the internet for info feeling quite bummed out b/c I've had some on and off issues for a long time and now. I was here thinking at 56 I'm doomed b/c it's in my neck. I decided to leave the internet and hop on UA-cam and found motivationaldoc. I instantly stood at the computer doing this exercise and immediately felt this exercise impacted the entire area that is bothering me. I shockingly felt immediate relief after doing it several times. Starting tomorrow I'm full in. I pray that this helps. I'll still do PT but I think this doctor is onto something! I'm going to follow him for life if this helps me ongoing. Thank you! (Update-It’s one day later and I woke up feeling so much better it’s a miracle. Tonight I’ve watched about 10 videos. I will be doing everything he recommends. So grateful what an amazing doctor.)
Your exactly right Doc,, on how to fall asleep faster... Using 478 breathing, you could easily sleep by doing that technique... I am grateful to have your video... It could my health..
Dr Mandell, there's not enough space here for me to tell you how grateful I am to have stumbled across you 2 years ago and how THANKFUL I am of you doing these videos. From these I have learned (and will continue to learn) how to help my ETD/Tinnitus, Cervical Stenosis and Lumbar-Sacro problems, Forward Head Posture is a BIGGIE. I shared you with the 2 Drs (GP) that gave me my MRI results today.
Wow! I did it for 10 minutes and the pain is gone. Thanks!
+Roboartist it depends on how severe the pain is.
OMG😲👍👏👏👏👏 I wish i had seen your account years ago!!!! Since this pandemic started Physical Therapy has been closed!!! Thank God i found you just a couple months ago🙋♀️!!!! Now i can't get ENOUGH of your inspiration and healing information!💕💕💕 We all LOVE you and what you are doing for the world!🙏⚘ Excellent info!! THANK YOU DOC🙏
Hey Doc! Thank you sooo much! I've been doing this exercise every day for the past couple of weeks during my daily walk and my shoulder and tingling in my arms has disappeared totally! I'm able to sleep peacefully now. Thanks again for all your healing wisdom!!!! The world is better because of you!!! :-D
God Bless my friend.

dude you gotta let us know
Hi doc. I've been dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck for about 4 weeks now, but by doing this exercise and some stretching, it's slowly subsiding. Thank you so much and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you!
Extremely helpful Dr. Mandell. Thank you. Please continue your great work.
Thank you for making this video and all of your other ones. I've had neck pain for about 3 weeks now, and you have helped immensely. I just want you to know that I am grateful. Keep on doing what you are doing!
I just woke up at nine am
in pain . I really wana thank you alot for your video , I was searching for a min tryna find some one to really help me .
may God Blessed you an Your family 👌🙏😎💆😉😊
Hope you feel better. God bless!
Can’t believe this, after all the exercises i’ve tried here on youtube for my pain, this one greatly helps. Thanks so much.
Thanks doc. It worked..... I injured my neck while doing dumbbell rows.
r Negoro same here, trying this out now, hopefully it helps
which exercise
I have been suffering for 3 1/2 months with a herniated disc at c7. I've tried physical therapy (not this exercise), chiropractic, and anti-inflammatory pills. Nothing was working, it was getting progressively worse. 3 1/2 months may not sound long to some of you, but it seems like a year. I stumbled onto this vid 1 week ago. I substituted an elastic band for the towel shown here and gave it a whirl.
I am not cured yet, but the amount of improvement in just 7 days is astonishing. It took a few attempts to really isolate the muscles you are supposed to work, but you figure it out fairly quick. Keep your arms motionless, and tuck your chin on the pull back.
.
thank you very much i was beginning to slightly worry.
Doc, my chiropractor told me to do the exact opposite of what you’re saying. He told me to look up in the air, twist my neck and look over my shoulder. I paid for this incorrect exercise!
I came across you on the Internet and I’m doing the chin tuck.
Hopefully, my neck pain will go away with your expertise.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Hello Doctor,
I have posterior Disc Bulges at C4-C5,C5-C6,C6-C7 from last 4 years. I have been doing your this exercise from last 25 days. My pain is gone totally now. That pain and discomfort of last 4 year is almost gone. I want to thank you for that. I wanted to know what next i should be doing to make this effect permanent? Any strengthening exercise or something like that is needed or i should continue this? Once again Thousands of thanks from me Doctor. You have helped me a lot.
Hi, glad that you're doing better. Most important is keeping good postural stability and preventing forward head posture.
yoga
motivationaldoc Hi. Doctor. I got problem in C5 C6. Normally feeling numbness in left hand little finger. Now from few days whenever I sleep Numbness started on my face, head and then pain. Kindly suggest excersize for that.
Rai Asif Hussain do the exercise in video and other neck exercise in other videos of this channel .
@@mustafafarms Did you find relief
Can’t tell you what a difference this exercise made with neck pain. Thank you so much for posting!!
you're awesome, thank you so much. much appreciated.
My migraines got so bad I had to get shots in my neck, not cheap.Your stretches are helping so much. When you release the stretch you feel good. A stretch cost nothing! Thank you. lin
I have some pain in my shoulder and hand and I am going regularly to gym and doing fitness when I went to orthopedic Doctor after my cervical X- Ray he advised me physiotherapy and I have to avoid from gym and fitness Please let me have your kind advise in this regard.
Wow.. i did this for two days and my pain went away. I can finally sleep and move in peace 😭Thank you!
Hi Doc. Thank you so much for your motivation. I have severe neck pain but now it's getting better a little. Can we do this chin tuck even if there is mild pain while doing this? Kindly reply.
i had a cervical spine c3-c4 injury and the pain was terrible, my whole left arm was in pain, sometimes it spreads thru my left leg & i even a had a pain pressure on the left side of my head. but ONLY 3 DAYS of doing this therapy. the pain was all gone!! kudos doc! you've helped so many people. you are God's sent! thank you
10 reps, 2 to 3 sets, every other day to start ❤️
Thank you for putting up this video. I have had shoulder surgery to alleviate shoulder pain which didn't help. Telling the surgeon a month or two after surgery that the pain was excruciating when I sneezed he replied it comes from the neck. I don't want to go back for more surgery or take medication. Your instructional video is perfect for my problem. I will reply with the results a few weeks later. Thanks again. Hans
Good Luck
24 hours later things are improving well, I expect that something that's taken years of poor posture to establish may take a while to alleviate. I'll keep you posted how I progress. Thanks so much.
When i do these i feel a jolt of electricity in my right arm...
This is awesome. I DO indeed have very bad posture. I suffer chronically with pinched nerves. I have sought treatment with chiropractors, massage therapy, and acupuncture with temporary relief. So far the massage therapist is the only one who suggested and helps me with stretches......but not the one you mention.
I tried this and got immediate relief......go figure.
I will continue with this stretch as well as becoming more conscious of my posture. I think this exercise done throughout the day will definitely help. Thank you!
My neck pain is so bad that my teeth hurt
Thank You Doctor. I've been going to family Doctor for over a year and they put me on muscle relaxers and motrin and it was working. I try your exercise and I've noticed the pain in my neck/shoulder/arm is not as bad. My Wife said it was my being at a desk and sitting all day with bad posture that was causing my problems, you proved her right.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. IM A FORKLIFT OPERATOR AND DRIVE BACKWARDS MOST OF THE DAY. I HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOUR EXPLAINING AND THIS SHIT HURTS!!! THIS EXERCISE WORKS GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
My first post was a week ago, every day there is an improvement in my condition and I'm so pleased with the result. I'll keep doing this exercise for months to come and will get back to you. Thanks again, Hans
And all this time I thought I had great posture....boy was I wrong 🤦🏾♂️. Thanks

I know this is a older video but this has helped me so much, I have been having so much C 7 problem in my neck.. thank you
hi doctor gd exercise &thanks
I’m going to try this tomorrow. I’ve been suffering with cervical stenosis since 2004...headaches, neck, shoulder, back and arm pain. I go to physical therapy twice a week and take mediation. Reading the comments was encouraging. I really hope this gives me some relief because I’ve been extra mean and cranky the past three days. 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤕😥
I have some pain to the right side of my neck and shoulder... It hurts really bad every day
Natasha Bellasario you all right with this exercise i have same problem
Thx Dr. Mandel for posting this neck stretch movement. I'm post op c6-c7 neck surgery that relieved a pinch nerve. Amen. Still having some discomfort and am in PT working on stretching the nerve and shoulder. I've added this movement to my stretching routine and within one set (30 reps holding 3 sec each rep) my neck already "feels" stronger. I'll continue to use it b/c I feel zero pain or irritation to the incision area. Let's just say I'm an subscriber now. Thanks again.
Good luck to you. 😊
Is this guy a medical doctor?
demichae medical doctors do not practice anything to do with any sort of physical exercise. They specialize only in medicine
many thanks!! this lessened the pain intensity and i've only done it for 5 mins, wanted to thank you for sharing this as i've been suffering from severe neck and shoulder pain for the last one year, i don't like popping pain killers and visits to the chiropractor do not solve this in the long term, anyone with neck pain and with a desk related job give this a try, it worked wonders for me, THANK YOU SO MUCH DR Mandell
Can prolonged nerve pain cause anxiety?
i think yes, i have it, any solutions?
definitely, I've lost my mind over a few times now
Hey, Doctor. Good, reafirming video. I was doing PT for what appeared to be rotator cuff issue. I do have a slight tear in my left rotator cuff. The physical therapist I had been seeing, had me doing several exercises, a couple of which did not feel right and were painful to do. I believe, due to these couple of exercises, it made the situation much worse! Felt like a burning poker was jabbed into my left shoulder blade. It was determined by four specialists-two orthopedic doctors, a neurologist and a pain doctor, that the pain I was experiencing was due more to my neck- Cervical Radiculopathy-than my shoulder. Sure enough, the PT I am now doing at a different facility is focusing on strengthening the muscles in my neck (not too rigorous or extreme) and POSTURE. I’m not out of the woods, however I can take to heart, if an exercise is causing pain, don’t do it. Also, see a specialist(s) that knows what they’re doing. Thanks!

How many reps/sets a day?
3 sets 10 reps every other day
Thanks!
Thank you Dr. M. For a good dose of medical sense this morning. I watch you almost every day. You are the Best, especially during our locked down days. I quit going to the Chiropractor because they didn't take temp. Wipe the tables where you lie down for back stretch. I had to change the paper for the head rest, wipe the table, the monitor for massage drum timer etc. While the 2 office staff usually are sitting at the front desk.
U'd be a great man of God. There is codes in our d.n.a. so that means we are designed by a intelligent being. The God is called Yahweh in our d.n.a. and it's in ancient Aramaic. Jesus spoke in Aramaic. Christianity is Reality.
I'm so thankful for UA-cam! I've been dealing with an awful pinched nerve in my neck for months. Thank you for your video
Your Videos Helped!!
Just wanted to share this with all of you. I am a 30 years old male and about Four days ago I did some extensive (back and legs) workout at the gym. The second day (three days ago) I began experiencing "Ants crawling feeling" on the right-top side of my penis. This sensation lasted for two long and worriying days (until late yesterday) as I was trying to find answers online and I simply couldn't.
I found your videos on UA-cam talking about numbness, pins and needles, "ants crawling" on other parts of the body, but no one brought the question of having this problem in the man's special area. Those other videos discussed the problem relating it with a long stretched nerve (I forgot the name of it) and you said that those "ants crawling" sensations are usually self healing, and if not, stretches of the legs and lower back area will help, and you were right. I did some stretching of my legs and lower back area (just as you described) and as of late last night and until today as I am writing this comment, the annoying sensation is gone!!
I wanted to share this with you so you don't get as worried as I was when I found NOTHING online about penile tingling / paresthesias.
Blessings...
Dr Mandel, you are a blessing! One week ago I was in agony: burning pain down both arms, nausea, mascular tension esp after work (massage therapy). Even one massage aggravated the symptoms. About four days ago I started the following: 1. Ice/heat as often as possible 2. Neck pump 3 times a day (several pumps for 10 seconds, and then i lay on it for five minutes) - Can it cause jaw tension??? 3. McKenzie extensions- I do it three times per day and go all the way into the full extension - is it dangerous? I hear you don't suggest the full extension. 4. Postural retraining - constant body awareness and some exercises. Now, I am a fitness freak, and love working out. I already figured out not to involve upper traps - it worsens everything. I still do light resistance band for the romboids, light resistance band for the shoulder internal rotators, and W back extension with just the body weight. I do gentle yoga, body weight leg work out, did swimming - but it makes it worse. Biking for 20 minutes, walking on the beach. I only work out 30-40 minutes per day. My first question is 1) do I do too much therapy for my neck? 2) should I completely stop training the upper body for now? (My MRI is in few days, but I want to get better even before it comes) 3) should I be able to work out more when the acute symptoms are gone? I'm still very weak, and if I do too much it causes pain, nausea, burning down the arms. After I get the results of MRI, I'm planning to stick with physical therapy, Rolfing, chiropractic and rest. My doctor is a surgeon so I would rather stick to some natural ways as I am a firm believer of our body's wisdom and ability to heal. Again, blessed I found this channel. Thank you!
