SELF-OCCIPITAL DECOMPRESSION: FAST RELIEF FOR NECK SUFFERERS - (Discovered by Dr Alan Mandell, DC)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2019
- Here is an excellent self-decompression technique that I would like to share. We will use simple biomechanics using our hands and extending our head. This will release adhesions/scar tissue and restore mobility in the suboccipital/upper neck region. When mobility is restored proper nerve function will return helping the body repair and heal.
Please share this with your friends and family. Wishing you and your loved ones many Blessings! ❤️😊🙏 Dr M

When you get to the point of extension against your hands/contact, you'll want to apply upward firm pressure in the suboccipital region. Do not continue extending backwards at that point.
motivationaldoc What do you think about the Atlas Orthogonal Technique? I'm going to a chiropractor next week for a consultation and probably treatment with this technique. I have 2 bulging cervical discs, 2 bulging lumbar discs, TMD, and pain in the occipital area with headaches. I've gone to 3 different chiropractors and physical therapists which did not help me. Thank you for your videos. I have been doing all of the exercises you have recommended.
I always like your videos. I use the spine exercises couple times a week. . Years ago hip exercise help put it back in place now only slit pain every now and then. Before had pain 2 years every day . Thanks for your videos and advice
Is this safe for Chiari and syringomylia?
motivationaldoc I just did it thank you! 😘🙏I can’t believe it helped me turn my head and neck from side to side I have been in horrid crying pain for months and can’t lift my head up off my shoulder always to the left side my chiro hurt me accidentally knocked it out of position when he cracked it and my jaw and your technique is how I sleep at night too on my back on the pillows it is cracking now So is that normal? I could not get it to stop cracking when my chiro hurt me I was scared told him he did not mean to hurt me he is a strong man I am tiny with a small neck. My spasm on the trapeze area is so big and hard nothing can soften it I can’t take muscle relaxers I throw up and get dizzy so don’t know if this will ever heal and my daughter tried to massage me once in a while it’s a long tendon or bone on the left side of my neck that has stiffened severe nausea and pain from this Always! I don’t know if itveill ever go away I have disc degeneration too and austeo arthritis in skull but it’s this stiff neck thing that swells up near side of my throat I can’t swallow water or eat without holding my neck skin with my hand back so I can eat without choking but when I let it go it comes right back and rises up on trapeze between the shoulder. I hope I don’t need surgery but I know I can’t live like this forever either. I will keep watching you thank you God Bless you too! Ginger PS. I am sleeping on a leather couch with quilt blankets and pillows I have no bed, this hurts so I go to bed with this and wake up the same way stiff and I’m crying pain. Just thought you might like to know don’t think a bed would heal me and pain also nerve pain travels down under the arm to the elbow hand fingers too I can’t squeeze or open a bottle or hold a spoon in that hand. Guess I am a hopeless case right now. Praying always!🙏
This is giving me so much hope! ty ty🙏
Hello. I am a tongue cancer survivor. I was treated with radiation and now suffer from lymphedema. For the past 5 weeks I have had burning pain in the back of my head and neck and burning pain at the top of my ears. I can’t sleep and I have to take tylenol and ibuprofen just to get through the day. Last night I did this and this morning I do not have any pain. I am amazed and so grateful for this video
Hi Kim
How are you
Hallelujah!!!
God bless you, I hope you will feel a lot more better in what you may find some time.
I love reading comments like this, gives me hope❤ so happy it helped you! . thoughts and prayers. I Pray that you have continued relief.🙏
Check ur sleeping position.
I've been in constant pain for the past 2 years. I've tried everything, taking constant pain medication..spent a fortune of massage gadgets. Happen to stumble across this video, at first I wasn't doing it correctly (always in a rush). Once I got it, instant relief...I cant believe it, today (morning after) still no pain. To wake up pain free is incredible...thank you for this video, keep helping people 👏 🙌 👏
listen.... I've literally been having neck pain for weeks, just constant pain, and it's gone...?????this is so freaky, like i was so skeptical before clickling, holy shit. THANK YOU!
Guys bomb. But i always get neck pain after 5mins n stuff god help me 😔☹️
I never experienced occipital neuralgia before and it's unbelievably painful! At first it didn't work but I kept trying for 5-10 minutes and the pain is GONE!!! Thank you so much for your love and care. You are a true doctor! God bless you!!! I can't express enough gratitude
Thank you, Doc! You're saving my life, literally. Years of pain meds, injections and physical therapy. You are a blessing.
The more we sit staring at our phones/laptops and screens, the more people are going to suffer with this. We are moving to a hunched generation
OMG❤ I think I love you. Thank you for your work! I’ve been waking in pain for days.
I have had severe neck pain now for 2 years. My doctors have treated it with opiates, muscle relaxers, steroid injections directly into my spinal cord, oral steroid, and over 4 months of physical therapy. What relief I got was always very short term. I stumbled on this video on You Tube. The movement this doctor recommends gave me immediate relief in too important ways. 1. Pain relief. 2. Restoration of my range of motion. The relief was immediate, and so far lasting. Amazing. P.S. My two spinal steroid injections cost a total of over $10,000 and gave me relief for only one week each time.
I have been dealing with tight suboccipital and trapezius pain for many years. I would take Motrin everyday for the pain. This simple exercise released my traps and relieved my pain. I will do this everyday. Truly amazing. Thank you. Bless you motivationaldoc. ❤
After years of neck pain, I felt immediate relief! Thank you Dr. Mandel you are the best!
Wow. That released tension and improved my neck movement.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN. Been suffering with this pain for weeks and its gone in seconds. Smart dude. Lifesaver
Doing this while having a severe occipital headache and instantly feeling the relief. Thank you doctor Mandell
I love your videos! They are so helpfull for many patients! Keep them coming 👍🔥
I cant thank you enough doctor. Lots of your stretches helped me relieve traps and neck pain.
Dr Mandell, you are God sent! Thank you!
Yes! Yes! Yes! This works! The relief is ENORMOUS, thank you!
How is this even possible? I felt so much relief after 5min. You are a Godsend sir. Blessings on you.
Yas but why do i always have tightness and pain?! I have to do docs exercises every 10mins realistically to stp my pain 😭😥😢

@@javiermeza619 heres a playlisst that helped me quite alot but its not as helpful rn but chin tucks and moving head left to right And really tryin get it sore to heal the adhesions at this time may help me again.. ua-cam.com/play/PLtP3AfebSFUMlqcLnBoafp3kX7Eb12UHW.html
Thank you. Doc. I've been suffering for years, headache that starts at the back of my neck and spreads all throughout the right side of my head, and the back of my right eye. This gives me relief. Thank you again.
Definitely increased my range of motion, thank you!
Wow, this actually helps, and I have full blown occipital neuralgia.
Felt pretty good, Doc. Stretched my shoulders as well (that's an entirely different issue . . . But got a two-fer!). Thanks.
Dr Alan Mandell, my pain exactly in the same area gone n just few mins. It was days of pain.
Have been getting rid off pains around my neck and shoulder just because of your videos.
May God bless you with a life full of joy and happiness. I will find a way to thank you by sharing you something good from India very soon.
I have been in pain for a few days. Did this and felt the decompression and OMG! even the soreness of the top of my head stopped. Thank yoib
Thank you so much! I am only thirty, but because of a lack of self-care my back and neck are in a bad shape. I did this exercise, and the result is incredible. I lived with this tension for years now, and now I feel my face again. It is always tense, I almost forgot how it felt to feel the muscle of my jaw relaxing, I will keep doing this exercise for the rest of my days I think, thank you agan, so much!
WOW! thank you! I did it once and felt lighter and looser already
Crazy, this worked perfectly for me. I finally figured out the exact nerve that's bothering me (right lesser occipital nerve) from this video. I don't want to speak too soon, but after the stretch I haven't felt the subtle jabbing pain that's been haunting me for years
So much respect and admiration for you Dr Mandell! Thank you so much.
I found this to be very helpful even after just 30 secs.
After A few minutes it felt like i could breathe a lot easier and range of motion got so much better... Wow....
I think I have done to many neck raises and trap work and have had a sinus type head ache for about 4 days, this has definitely helped me within minutes of doing your exercise! Your channel is the best
I have been having shooting light lightning strikes on my rt side of my head in to my eye . Just did this technique felt a release and now it seems to have dissipated. Thanks a TON!!
It’s helped me and I was in a head on collision with a truck
omg .. this is amazing.. you feel the release right away.. I was able to see clearer right away and so much pressure release... thank you doc
I Googled for this TERRIBLE headache I've had all day and taking meds for. Didn't want to take more. This video did open it up! Omg, felt great and the headache is gone! Thank you! Going to do this regularly!!
Great find! I’ve been dealing with a neck injury for over 13 years. Built my whole life, and career on finding the answers. This is a great technique 🙏. Thank u
This and your other neck exercises are a God sent doctor! Thank you.
I have had a tension headache for YEARS now, sometimes with dizziness and most of the time neck pain and tension. These are amazing especially since I try to be more conservative with medications.
I honestly don't know if I did it properly but whatever I did, I feel a LOT more mobility, loose and relaxed.
It feels great. Now I need to find more videos like this for my whole back.
Thank you so much! I've tried so many different things trying to fix my neck, after having a congenital neck injury that caused my atlas vertebra to disclocate. Fixed the vertebra half a year ago, but never managed to release the pain and tension in the back of my neck completely, until now. I feel so much better. Had the whole right part of my face, and partially, my entire right part of the body going numb, and i can feel the sensitivity coming back after trying this method! And youtube just recommends me this video out of nowhere. God bless!
This is amazing! I suffer regularly from a stiff neck, headaches and migraines and after a couple of minutes of this technique my neck felt light, better mobility and just felt tension melt away. Definitely going to keep this technique up regularly!
Physical therapy told me to wear a neck brace. I do rest my head on the back of it. This is the same thing. Loving this channel.
This helps sooo much! I've always had a tightness at the base of the skull that would cause nerve discomfort to the point where it would shoot not painful, but irritating signals behind my neck and even to the back of my throat. My doctor told me to do chin tucks (which help tremendously too), but this stretch helps me out alot. The only challenge is being consistent with these stretches.
Dr Mandell is the MAN. Healing voice, healing techniques, healing energy. Bless Dr Mandell. Stay humble. Thank you.
I have chronic headaches. I’ll try this for a week and get back to you
THANK YOU SHOWS THIS TECHNIQUE, IT HELP ME A LOT
Thank you for the video. I did the exercise and immediately felt warmth and release. I will continue to do this on a daily basis, because for a while now i have severe neck and shoulder pain. God bless you.
Always my head pain, neck and shoulder, thank u so much doc🙏
I’ve done this once for maybe 30 seconds and I’ve been burping for 10 minutes since but boy is the headache going away!
I wonder what is the burping connection? Stomach? This happens to me also
Vagus nerve. Runs from head to stomach
Phrenic nerve if your diaphragm is not opening as much and air is going to your stomach with each breathe. Possibly vagus nerve if diaphragm is not effected.
Fabulous!!!
Your videos like this are extraordinarily helpful! What a blessing!
THANK YOU!!!
Hi dear
How are you
I had a neck problem the last two weeks and i just opened youtube and saw your video. Now my neck feels much better 👍🏽 thank you
Holy crap doc this really works!! Oh my God!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amazing. I just did it for less than two minutes and my neck actually turned without the sound of a train wreck. I haven't moved my neck freely in over 6yrs. Thank you for the video.
Now what's your condition? Plz reply 🙏
Oh my GOD, I'm so happy I watched this video! I have been struggling with neck/shoulder pain & migraines concentrated behind my eyes, for decades. The amount of instant relief I felt with occipital traction was INCREDIBLE- thank you SO MUCH! 💖
Are u cured??? I got similar symptoms
@crax438 I wouldn't say "cured"- but I have made a point of making sure my neck & shoulders aren't so tense all the time, & I have noticed a decrease in migraine frequency. Also, if I do have an active migraine or noticeable tension in my neck, doing this technique provides immense relief, for as long as I hold the stretch.
@@ericachacon8337 dam im trying to get a permanent recovery any other tips you have to ease this will be great 👍
I seriously wish I can give you my hard earned money for one on one coaching. I have been paying these other doctors hundreds of dollars and they haven't helped one bit. Been prescribed xanax, and other pills. That's their go to solutions it seems. I have a little faith in doctors because of doctors like you sir. Keep up the good work
I appreciate your videos. I have been living with neck pain since 2011 neck surgery on 2012 but still neck and shoulders pain almost daily, its gotten better but never really goes away, and when it does its temporary.
my traps were restricting my neck mobility and head pain.... when my traps got released and all is much better... my PT was not focused on this and I had to instruct him.
@@HelloMama pls do. I couldnt move my neck. Now i can. Also a good neck crack by chiro works wonders! Both gets you unstuck. Good luck.
@@HelloMama btw..it was not the pt massage that helped that much. It was a massage gun that targeted my traps and shoulders that finally released the tight muscles restricting my movement. It only took me 6 yrs to figure it out..lol.
How many times should i do this
This is stopping my headaches and loosening my occipital area. I'm getting more relief as I go through your many videos on this problem. I can see it has to be a daily routine to get the most out of it. Taking the time to do these movements and study the videos is important. You are giving some educational instruction that so many people are waiting to hear ........ there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hope for our good health. You are an internet Pioneer. To be able to bring this treatment into our homes is the miracle we need. The number of lives that can be helped goes world wide. That's BIG!! Thank you for your vision of healthcare as it can be today.
Oh. My. Goodness!! This stretch is an absolute miracle! The pain relief was immediate and startling. Thank you!
Thank you doctor i feel it more free
Honestly that was awesome, I have cervical degeneration and it kills so much! I did 3rd sets and just the first set it released son much tension from my neck. God bless you for your excellent video
*released so much tension*
I had a Cervical fusion of my C4-C7 due to a car accident several years ago, suffered with migrains since I was 14 and they have only gotten worse since my accident. My neck pain at time was unbearable. Tried multiple injections, but that only helped for a short time and was back to square one. One of your videos showed up on my feed last night about how to relieve pressure from your occipitals etc... between that video and this one. I have NO pain whatsoever, have regained full range of motion in my neck all the pressure in the back of my head is gone, and an added bonus.... I can breathe so much easier now. Just want to thank you for these videos God bless.
Yes... and which was the other video?
Had it not been for my neck getting re injured I'm sure i'd still be doing great. I had 0 pain up until that point. I really hope the info in these videos can help others.
@chictownguy, I don't remember now, just search his videos about how to relieve occipital nerve pain.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to your channel looking for the answers, doc. Thanks a million!
Thank you. I felt instant relief
Yes... ahhhh. Feels great Doc Alan! 🙏. It’s magical and easy🤗
I just tried this exercise. I am impressed to say its effects are immediate. I have reduced pain. A warm feeling has replaced discomfort. I also have slightly increased mobility. Thank you.
This really actually worked for me
Relief! THANK YOU God bless you!
WOW. My neck stopped popping after this. Now when I move my head, my neck don't pop.
Well I do believe I felt something just after one try... My head feels like it is more mobile. WONDERFUL!
Hi Gruen
How are you
Thank you, this is amazing! two weeks in pain and now…pain free
Amazing!! Never felt so relaxed. Thank you!!
Some burning, but it was a good heat. I could feel the muscles relaxing.
Great stuff doc. I'm doing prolotherapy for upper cervical instability... but this seems to be a great complimentary technique that seems to help as well. Much appreciated
Doc, you are such a blessing!! Very issue I am struggling with tonight and many other nights. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you!!!! This is exactly what I needed! I woke up this morning barely able to turn my head for no explicable reason and nothing has helped all day, until this video!
Such a relief honestly it's what I've been trying to explain to my chiropractor... I just feel I'm having those constant symptoms coming from there.. I've tried this technique and damn how it released so much pressure
Hi Missy
How are you
Hey Doc, i been doing this for over 4-5 years. I discovered this by myself. Yet i would 'decompress it' by pulling. It 'pops' from neck spine and upper thorasic. I do other things for each side of the neck spine. Trust me its the best feeling in the world. I wont show anyone because it's dangerous. Doing these things i discovered is great for me and i feel great. Basically im my own chiro because i dont have one in China. I can show you how i do, but if you would give me credit ;)
Thank you for this video. After doing this technique only twice not only did I feel the tension in my neck release I felt the tension in my shoulders and upper back release as well.
Amazing! I am a chronic neck pain and headache sufferer. This really helps. Thank you so much!
I dont know how many times ive had headache because of my neckmuscles :(
same I'm def. in the thousands.
I have had chronic neck pain in this part of my neck for literally two weeks and nothing I’ve done has relieved the pain until I tried this and wow I cannot believe how instantaneously it worked and relieved a lot of pent up pain also how much mobility I got back! Thank you seriously I’ve been suffering so long but this is so simple and helpful thank you
Brooooo
I just did the stretch after not being able to sleep for a week. Amazing!!
This small, simple technique is great! I have been seeking something like this intuitively, but I tend to over extend when doing something like this and didn’t realize there was a sweet spot. I feel it. I have so much occipital tension wreaking such havoc in my life. So much pain and discomfort and imbalance for so many years and I need more simple at home tools, especially for when the one chiropractor I know who does an occipital lift/release isn’t always available. Thank you. I look forward to seeking more info on your channel! I do actually feel more space on subtle level, after doing that a few times for about 20 seconds each. I felt all kind of arm and head tingles too as I was able to restore some nerve sensation.
I did this for 10sec and my neck feels a lot better. Thank you!
For YEARS i thought my sinus pressure was my face...I did this exercise and felt tremendous relief. Now Im taking neck hygiene very seriously. Thank you so much
Now what's your condition? Plz reply 🙏
@@AmanKumar-nm5so what condition..?
Occipital neuralgia condition
@@AmanKumar-nm5so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I didn’t mention any condition
Omg I have severe occipital neuralgia was just going to get injections and found this excercise so I sat up doing last night and it dropped my symptoms significantly today thank u thank u 🙏.
I done a couple of sets of these the relief is great my head felt light and felt my shoulders ease up also.
I practiced this exercises and wow!
IT really phelps my neck pain.
The SCM massage also has helped me tremendously my inflamed muscles. Thank you much!
God bless you dr Mandell 💖🥰
Hi Cecilia
Nice name
I had a headache and it went away after doing this movement. 😁
Omg 😭😭 doctor I have chronic occipital neuralgia. My neck and lower skull have been like concrete and I've been in chronic pain with headaches and dizziness along side fibromyalgia and severe stress. I just did the karate hand exercise and instantly the muscles felt softer again. I'm in shock 😭🙏 I'm.going to keep doing this everyday. Thanks so much 🙏
Holy moley! I’ve suffered with horrible migraines caused by issues with the sub-occipitals. My chiropractor was a god send and gave me relief when other doctors did nothing for me except to offer to put me on antidepressants. This stretch right here felt incredible and will be another arrow in the quiver that I can use between visits. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello sir how are uhh?? Taking antidepressants or quit it??
I have been having the worst sub occipital, neck and jaw pain and have tried many stretches but this helped INSTANTLY. Thank you for this video!!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I sent it to a lady in pain. Thank you so much, too, for your beautiful optimisum!
God Bless Your Gorgeous Heart!!
God Bless you!! Thank you for Sharing your God given wisdom.
😌 ahhhhhh ... been suffering with sinus headache behind the eyes and I felt a pull . Going to keep doing this . Thanks 🙏🏽
I have had intense pain for two years. I have had acdf surgery, lots of meds. These exercise are making a huge difference so far. Fingers crossed they continue to provide relief. Thanks for posting these videos

The doctor who cannot sell pain killers.
How are they treating in India this concern ?
Thanks, doc. I just did this and felt instant relief in my neck.
