My wife had bad sciatica for most of 2018. Doctors could only prescribe painkillers. Surgery mentioned. I looked at her blood labs results. One single note from a lab suggested a vitamin D deficiency. Against advice, we gave her 4000IU D3, some K2, magnesium and turmeric daily. Within 3 weeks her pain was gone and had stopped her meds. More Xrays later showed her back and spine had healed.
I spent 26 yrs in the Navy as an Aircrewman on P-3 Orion aircraft. My back took quite a punishment over the years. Now my lower spine(L4,L5,S1) is fused and I have been living with unbearable pain for the last 3 years. Thank God I found this channel and started following your recommendations. I’ve been following your advice. Been fasting and taking your electrolyte and K2 D3 supplements. Since I’ve started keto and cut all the garbage out of my diet I went from 238 lbs to 208 lbs. The first couple of days were brutal for me but the electrolytes and K2 D3 supplements helped as did the BP coffee! Now I feel like all of my inflamation is gone, I’ve been walking 90 min a day( I could barely walk 1/2 a mile). Anyways, I’m feeling soooo much better and I really wanted to thank you for all of the amazing life changing advice! God Bless you Dr. Berg!
True,You’re Right. Right now I’m in back pain on my right side come and go from back,down to buttocks,right legs ,very heavy muscle. I’m right now following,doing your instructions. THANK YOU,Dr.Berg
@@pointofpersonalprivilege they are not that expensive and are a good thing to do. Even regular doctors that are well educated recommend them. Go away, Big Pharma shill.
Dr Berg notes shared: Today, I’m going to share a few natural sciatica pain remedies! The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back, down the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot. Surgery for sciatica can cause side effects like failed back surgery syndrome. Because 90% of sciatica pain will often resolve by itself, invasive procedures are best saved as a last resort. Sciatic pain often gets worse in the winter, which would explain why vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor. If you’re dealing with inflammation, you need high amounts of vitamin D daily. Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory and works similarly to Prednisone without the side effects. It helps to repair the nerves, disc, connective tissue, and muscles involved with sciatica. Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to sciatica because it’s essential for keeping your muscles relaxed. You also need adequate magnesium for vitamin D to work in the body. Vitamin B12 is involved with several aspects of the nervous system and can cause numbness, tingling, and burning pain if you’re deficient. It’s highly anti-inflammatory, and a deficiency can also contribute to sciatica. Most people don't get enough sun, so unless you’re taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day, you could end up deficient. If you have sciatica, try upping your dose of vitamin D3 to 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily. Around 800 mg of magnesium each day can be beneficial for sciatica. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, almonds, leafy greens, bone broth, and spinach are good food sources of magnesium. Red meat and other animal products provide plenty of vitamin B12. Try these simple sciatica exercises focused on stretching the fascia to say goodbye to your sciatic nerve pain! Thank you Dr Berg!! 😺👍

Really appreciate your summary. Helpful. Suffering terribly...former paramedic, had a serious work related injury 25 years ago, and been pain free for 15-20 years...except for short manageable episodes, but for two months now can hardly weight bear on my right foot...excruciating pain from back all the way down...taking 5,000 ius vit D, K2 and magnesium and b12...but will limp over and increase dose of all four right away ..I am maxed out on pain killers. Thanks again
Once again Dr. Berg you really just don’t know how many PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD who are in TEARFUL PAIN that you will be curing including me I have been praying for an answer and I got it I know you don’t hear this enough but I appreciate Y❤U 🙏
A year ago I changed my diet and started taking 20,000 UI of d3 a day and not only did my psoriasis clear up just I haven't had my sciatic nerve act up once since then. A very pleasant side effect. No more laying on the floor for 15 minutes before I can move
Hello Dr Berg, I thank you for another great video. I want to share my personal encounter with piriformis syndrome. I have had piriformis pain in my buttock for almost 3.5 years. I only started Nuerobion ( B3,B6,B12) about 9 months ago and it has been a great reliever of pain I started keto diet ( meat + animal organs, eggs, cheese, butter, full cream milk, almonds, cashew nuts, vitamin k2+D3 supplement + Probiotic) on Aug 15. I completely cut down on sugar, refined carbs and highly processed food Now, the pain is completely gone! I am 1.75m, weighed 68kg, now I weigh 65Kg. I have followed mostly your great food nutritional advice and it really works! Thank you, Dr Berg!
Bro i am facing some nerve related problem in my testicle 6 month ago this sensation went thorough my back to my right leg i can feel that but it was the testicle nerve that is feel so much burning i ultrasound testicle THERE is no single deases there doctor found that i have lack of vitamin d in my body so they gave me medicine of. Vitamins d and also b6 b3 b12..is this pain of mine is causing from this satica pain?
Thanks to previous videos you did on sciatica and vitamin deficiencies my ongoing issues were resolved. I’d seen chiropractors, tried stretching and braces and nothing worked. I was reduced to tears some days the pain was so overwhelming. Within a few weeks of taking B vitamins and cutting out sugar I was without pain! All thanks to your info. Reducing the sugar and taking a few more supplements after listening to other videos resolved the reflux/GURD issues I had my entire adult life. Thank you for giving real solutions to people!
You are right. I lifted 50 lbs of lard at age 18 incorrectly and injured my back. I had excruciating pain for 6 years. I married and got pregnant and took prenatal vitamins as 9 months progressed I remember commenting how my baby must have fixed my back. I had him without any medication "natural " and never suffered sciatica again.
I had sciatica until a month back. I think I saw one of your videos also from Dr. Mandel to take high dose vitamin D+K2, magnesium and vitamin B complex. That worked wonders for me. I have no sciatica anymore. I am so thankful to both of you!
Thank you for sharing that. Which magnesium are you taking? Also if you can share the other brands of the other supplements I would really appreciate it. 😊
I have had sciatica since 2016, and had severe pain for about a full year (literally in tears sharp stabbing pain). I went to many doctors and a specialist. Went down the whole list of options, except surgery because I wasn't good candidate (I was on blood thinners at the time). The last thing the doctor told me to try (he said he didn't think it would work) was physical therapy. So I went. It was tough and painful, by my therapist was excellent and gave me a dozen exercises/stretches to do every day, and after about 6-8 weeks, the pain was mostly gone. I kept going to PT twice a week for a year, and was totally pain free at that point. My therapist told me to just do those exercises 3 times a week at home, and 8 years later, I am still pain free and doing those exercises at home.
I am a nurse who had “failed” back surgery 25 yrs ago. Stretches that I learned like these in PT years ago helps my sciatica tremendously. I refuse meds for it other than the occasional Tylenol during a bad flare. Now I’m going to look into your supplement recommendations even though my regular labs for those levels are “normal “ range
Have a look at a book called ‘The Miraculous Cure For and Prevention of All Diseases What Doctors Never Learned’. Apparently “normal” d3 is waaaay waaay low. “Normal levels” of d3 is very outdated science. Go to Google and search for “Anna’s Archive”, you can find loads of free resources there, books, articles, etc., there are many books of d3, give it a go.
Oh my gosh, I’ve just done the other stretch of foam under the lower back from another of your videos and felt so much relief from the pain, then topped it off with these stretches. Ive been having chiropractic treatment for weeks but an hour later the pain came back. I couldn’t sit or lay down to sleep without excruciating pain. Thankyou so much Dr Berg, I’m now crying tears of joy and relief as opposed to tears from pain. I can’t thank you enough.
I used to suffer from very painful sciatica. I had to take off work sometimes because I simply couldn't walk nor get relief to get a good night's rest. I went on keto 4 years ago. Haven't had sciatica pain since. I was already taking vitamin D3 so I knew it wasn't because of a deficiency. Once I cut out the excessive sugar, processed foods, bread and industrial seed oils, all pain and sickness went away.
I've been ketovore for 9 weeks. I feel better and my siatica doesn't flare up as much but it's still there. I'm praying after more time it will not return.
@@cougmom50 Here’s another stretch that may help you. Lie flat on the floor-then put your legs up straight against the wall. (So you are in an L shape) press your legs quite hard against the wall & hold for 20 seconds. Do this 5X. On your way upright-touch your toes for 5 seconds. Had this stretch in Zumba class. Do often as necessary till it abates. (I’ve even done it at 2:00am!)
I suffered from sciatic pain for a long time, having to see chiropractors and massage therapists every few months. Then I saw a video where they demonstrated some stretches that they claimed could help and by god they did.
😮I’ve seen several successes with B6 (plus magnesium calcium D) including a woman whose neurologist told her she would lose the leg - but just 3 days after starting B6 she called to thank me, saying “it’s the first time in 3 years I’ve been out of pain” !!! I healed carpal tunnel the same way in a few weeks.
i have a stretch that came from a chiropractor that helped me immensely.... lay close to the side of the bed on your side bring top leg up so that knee points off the bed push your shoulder blades flat on the bed while your hips are still on the side try to push your knee down a little with your hand as your knee hangs off the bed repeat other side of body on other side of bed i promise this works
I suffered over 3 years in pain, the last year I could barely walk. Saw 4 different doctors who said I needed double hip replacement. But something just didn’t set right. Like they all said…well, your hip doesn’t look too bad right now but we can do a hip replacement if you want, that’s the only way to relieve the pain. I’m lucky my insurance allowed me to keep getting “other” opinions. Finally went to a neurosurgery group who did an MRI, told me my hip was fine, but I had some damaged nerves in my lower back. They wanted me to come back and get a shot in one nerve bundle so they could figure out which one was damaged..sciatic or sacroiliac…. I went home and did some research…started immediately doing the stretches for both.. within 2 weeks I was totally pain free…. I also started taking benfotiamine with thiamine, which is supposed to heal nerve sheaths. I was amazed how much better I felt, now when I get twinges I just do these stretches, some involve hamstring.. sad how many years I dealt with pain and how many docs just wanted to turn me into a cyborg.
Kindly mention what stretches helped you or put a link if possible, my is suffering from Sciatica pain it’s severe she can barely walk or sit. Your help is appreciated
@@khushinandwani3278 I actually watched several videos, and tried all the stretches. El Paso physical therapy was great. Just search you tube for sciatica exercises. I never found out if it was sciatica or sacroiliac, but stretching really worked. Every day I put my foot on a chair and lean forward, then I stand straight with foot on chair and push my knee outwards..stretching the inside, as long as I feel it down the back of my leg it works..whatever I do. Which is weird cause my pain was in my right front thigh..I swear I could feel the bone. But stretching my hamstrings helped. Also, before I get up..I pull my knees up and twist side to side some, keeping back flat. I think you will need to try different ones to see what works for you. But you tube has tons of good videos on that very thing. Good luck, try a lot. Hope she gets better.
@@khushinandwani3278 look up stretches for sciatica….i just did the ones that basically pulled the vertebrae apart, releasing tightness. And hamstring exercises seemed to help it too.
Seeing this video has given me hope, last 5 years I have been crippled due to lower back pain/ hip pain/ leg pain.. Doctors keep saying i have ankylosing spondolitis but it hasnt sat right with me.. reading the comments is such a relief to hear aswell.. Thank you
I’m in bed since yesterday with a swollen foot caused by a sciatica , I have no experience with this , and your video just appears as a miracle ! I can’t be on medication it makes sick I can’t stand medication, i need to get better and fast ! Hello from France 🇫🇷 and thanks for this video ! What specialist do I need to make an appointment with please ?
Why don't you do what this man is telling you and then you won't need a specialist. I'm a sciatica sufferer and these things allowed me to live a good portion of my life pain free!
I'm sorry you're in pain, but I'm pretty sure sciatica won't cause a swollen foot. But depending on what's actually causing it, it could be serious. Especially if it's from a blood clot or an infection. You really should consider getting it checked out, just to be safe. Best wishes.
@@ChrissieSM oh ok , I’m trying to find an appointment to see what I have , is my ankle actually hurting and a month ago I was told I had a sciatica issue and Saturday I started limping with a swollen ankle.
God bless you man, this is just what I needed. I can't tell you how many times you helped me out with your advices to skincare, hair growth, stomach problems and now this. Thank you so much and God bless you, you are a blessing to this website 🙏
I have had mid back compression since 2003. This information is greatly appreciated as my lower back sciatic is causing me problems now. Thankyou its just what I needed to hear.
Everything you mentioned in this video works. A year ago I had sciatica and I followed that pose you added and my pain went away, and 4 months ago my mother came from USA with sciatic pain and no medication worked and finally she listened to my yoga advice (the same pose you showed) and it went away in 2 days…. Also, it never came back, if it comes I do the same pose for 15 seconds each leg and it’s gone ❤
Wow, what a great information. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! I had problems with 2 bulging disc a year ago resulting in sciatica. This year I take regularly Vitamin D3, 5600IU daily, sometimes I double this dosage at 11,200IU/ Plus taking each day B-complex and magnesium bisgycinate at the eveninig and morning magnesium malate. also taking Zinc with copper and selenium and after a year I don't have sciatica symptoms unfortunately. Want to check how it changed by CT. your channel is rally great, perhaps the best one for the very useful health advices. Peter from Slovakia.
Hi Dr Berg, question if you have time to answer,, you mentioned to take 20/30000 IU of vit D and 800mg of magnesium. Question,,, how many mcg of B12 would you recommend to go with this dose? Please and thank you for the amazing information you give us
I had lower back pain for long period of time, after started taking vitamin D3 10k IU+ K2 all pain gone. Thank you Dr berg for the great content you share. Can you please do a video on dates? The nutritions and if it’s keto friendly?
From hobbling around to striding without pain. Miracles, no more shooting pain and being in pain when walking...Limping around for weeks,, shooting pains with each step. Per chance, you popped up . I'm deeply grateful. Strangely I did not think it was siatic i thought my hips were giving in. After one set of exercise. That is one stretch on each side as per excercise. Immediaty after ,Easily climb stairs. From thinking I would need a huge operation to an instant cure. Dr Berg you always appear online just when I am in dire strates. Deep hearted gratitude, thank you. You are deeply appreciated. Take most of the vitamins you recommend, very powerful combined with those 2 easy exercises......wow., you've saved the day. Quality of life is perfect.....your amazing..
Oh Dr Berg, you are like a warm soothing blanket. I have sciatica for 10 days now, never had it before. Keep fit& healthy, injured doing kettlebell class. I now believe it has been brewing for some time. I have driven myself bonkers with UA-cam do’s& don’t GP Surgery useless, could not care less. I am seeing an osteopath who explained exactly what was the problem( thankful not a disc) I am demented with pain. Taking strong painkillers which do a little. Thank you 🙏
3:28 Everytime I watch your videos, even if I'm bombarded with info and can't keep up you somehow manage to open my eyes. Mainly for years I've been working from home and back pain was always my best friend since I'm sitting all the time. But if I can't fix it one way, I'll fix it this way. Thanks🤝🏽
I'm a 19 y/o on the carnivore diet, and I have been experiencing pain in my lower back, legs, and hips. I also have some other symptoms, including fatigue, lack of focus, headaches, and less energy. I watched a lot of your videos on Vitamin D. I do believe I am deficient(not much sun & no D3 supplement at the moment). I've not taken D3, which was 2000IU from the store, for a few months, due to what the ingredients were. Recently, I bought a bottle of your 10,000IU D3+K2 supplements. Awaiting delivery early this week! With that said, I just want to thank you for all of your information that you provide us with! I'm thankful we have doctors like you to steer us in the right direction!
How long have you been doing Carnivore? Also, are you cheating regularly. I was recently talking to a customer about Keto/Carnivore. They were telling me that they're currently trying it out, and that it wasn't working for them. As I finished washing my hands after servicing their equipment, I noticed as I walked past the teachers lounge later, there she was in the lounge, eating a piece of birthday cake as she and her co-workers were celebrating another teacher's birthday. The flour and sugar alone, is enough to destroy any progress towards resetting the body towards health.
as a young man look into doing thai/indian squats which is the way that asian people take a dump in a hole in the ground..u can use a door frame using ur hands to lower yourself down into position and then to get back up...there are vabout this

Thankyou Dr. Berg for your info and exorcises, they’re very helpful for sciatic pain. A friend suggested I lie on the floor with a tennis ball near the base of my spine. I decided to to this but up against a wall, as I find getting up and down on the floor can be painful. I place the tennis ball between the wall and my lower back between L4 and S2, and move around slowly, up, down, and in a circle. I have found that this decreases my constant nagging pain about 50%.🙂
I have read many books, I listened to many UA-cam videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Ive always been very limber ,i went to sit on floor flat my legs spread far apart and touch nose to floor to knee ,i had not done in awhile and i found it hard to do ,i forced it omg pulled muscle and sciatic, my husband had to take care of me like a baby ,but now recovering and your videos i love, pain almost gone and walking slowly, thank you, i have not seen these exercises and i find them to be very helpful!😊
sir really you are a GEM in fact my husband is suffering from lower back pain for years and sir this vodeo works asa blessing for me and my husband you are gift for us fromm ALLAH stay blessed SIR
Dr I can’t thank you enough I didn’t know what was causing my vertigo and couldn’t get it to go away until I watched some videos of yours and I bought your vit d 3 k2 supplement and have been taking for about a month now and my vertigo is almost completely gone. I cannot thank you enough
Crystallized Ginger stopped my mother's sciatica nerve pain after her knee surgery. The pain stopped within a minute of her eating 2-3 chunks of the ginger candy. Why not try it? It taste great and worked for her.
Ginger candy probably helped her be regular. Constipation and helping heal her colon and digestive issues. Let her also drink ginger Tea it id wonderful
@Drberg 🧡 Thx so much for sharing this awesome info! I would like to know which Magnesium should I take? I was told that there are 3 different types of Magnesium.
I’ve had a few “recommended” back surgeries, laminectomy’s to relieve a pinched nerve. What they don’t tell you is that the body treats the little holes they drill to get access with the area as a break. Your body dumps calcium constantly to heal what it thinks is a break. I now have a natural fusion from L3-4 to L5-S1 and can no longer touch my toes, put on socks or shoes.
Dr. Berg I truly appreciate you. I have suffer with Sciatica nerve pain and all the doctor gave me was an injection which I stop taking after reading up on the medicine that was given to me. Thank you thank you.
I've suffered serious lower back pain and sciatica for almost 3 years. After listening to you I upped my D3 to 15000 IU. Plus K2 and magnesium. If I still get a twinge, I take another 5000 before bed. It kicks in within an hour or two. People have mocked me and said it's a placebo. I don't care because it works. Also 18 months ago I started taking 2000 D3 for osteoporosis. My asthma vanished along with my chronic sinusitis and I ceased using my CPAP machine. No wonder big pharma is scared. I was listening to a D3 guru a while back who said blood tests for D3 didn't actually measure what our immune system needs. He said around 10,000 per day is actually used by the body everyday.
I have a question about this, what about calcium deposition in joints when you take vit D, K, and Mg? I am also taking vit D, but I'm worried about unnecessary calcium deposition
@@roxyroxanne1233~ you have to take 100 micrograms of K2 (not milligrams) per 5,000 IUs of D3. The K2 drives the calcium from the soft tissues and arteries to the bones and teeth. Then, no worries about calcifying. Also, take magnesium glycinate to make it all work efficiently.
@@roxyroxanne1233 I take no calcium supplements. 4 years ago a doctor had me on a massive dose because of possible osteoporosis. I had a chest X-ray and saw a calcium build up in a main heart artery. I do not trust doctors anymore. Most haven't a clue. Take adequate K2 which I noted cleaned up the tartar on my teeth! That's been a problem I had for years. Now we are all different so it's a case of trying and noting the result.
I use to have sciatica until I learnt how to massage my own psoas(sp?) muscle. I did that for awhile and then no longer had the problem. I years later started taking 2,000 UI of D3 daily for better Immune Function but I wasn't aware of it improving sciatica. Thanks for informing us all Dr. Berg.
Had low back pain for years I came across a video which has 100% sorted this issue. I lay on my side and left my leg as high as I can and hold it for 10 seconds repeated 5 times 3 times per day. Pain was gone within a weeks. Also started taking a quality glucosamine supplement.
Just tried these stretches and felt an immediate relief! My sciatica flared up this week and using ice packs have helped a lot too. Love your videos. Thank you 🙏
Thank you again,this was very informative. I've been having sciatica pain for six months. I stopped working out at gym,I'm taking physical therapy and the stretching has helped more than anything else....
Thank you Dr. Berg! I fell on my tailbone 3 months ago and I started getting pain up and down the back of my legs and butt as well as my lower back. I kept hearing a voice saying to me ‘sciatica’ over and over, I looked it up and then I saw your vid come up! Amazing, thank you, def going to follow up on what you 😢 advise! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
After suffering through several days of intense pain, this morning I decided to take a full round of vitamins, which included the ones you mentioned (magnesium, B12 and Vitamin D). I hadn't seen this video until this evening but folks, do it. I haven't had pain all day. This was the first day this week that I didn't have to take acetaminophen just to get through.
Shockingly, I just explained how each of these nutrients play a major role in the development of healthy testosterone levels to a guy at a health fair the other day! He's 50-something years old, but his voice sounds like he's a female toddler. Thanks, sir, for sharing these tips! Have a great Sunday, y'all! 🙂
Thanks dr Berg I've been following your advice for years - I'm going to try these exercises as i have bad osteoarthritis pain and it might just help the pain in buttock and knee and inside leg nerve pain 😊 Mo from Scotland xx
Unfortunately my herniated disc has gotten worse and due to new symptoms the doc is concerned about the nerve that controls bladder function is in danger. So I’m having discectomy next Friday. I’m praying that everything goes ok and I don’t have a failed surgery. However I will be following this advice and tips from the comments from now on to hopefully prevent and reherniation and help with my stenosis. Prayers are appreciated 🫶🏼
I couldn’t walk for two weeks because my sciatica nerve ran from my back all the way down to my toe and it was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in in my life, and I used a neck massager on my butt, and that helped relieve a lot of the painbut I’m going to watch this whole video
Fantastic videos as usual. Just to add, a psoas muscle stretch also helps. It's one of the core muscles of the abdomen and is a key part of the connection between the lower body and torso.
I started taking Magne 5 magnesium from the Natural Heart Doctor last November. I had terrible leg cramps every night even if I was pushing electrolytes all day. Once I started Magne 5, I have not had one leg cramp at night. Almost 10 months. I take it at night which helps make me sleepy as well. Additionally, I started a B Complex along with Vitamin D since then. I’ve suffered off and on from sciatica from almost 20 years. All three of these supplements eased some of that pain too, but chiropractic therapy helped as well. At times, I had to crawl from my bed to the bathroom because pain was so bad. So what Dr. Berg is recommending here, with a comprehensive approach of vitamins and stretching, etc I can 100% vouch for.
Those stretches feel very good. As a 30+ year runner I incorporated yoga to help strengthen my core & literally make myself stretch & get stronger. Yoga can be intimidating at first yet my desire to rid myself of low back pain and tight soas was worth it!
I've been taking Dr. Berg's vitamins k2 and D3 for several years. There have been fewer episodes of back pain. I'm so fortunate to have found this wonderful man. ❤
@@Drberg I've been taking Dr Bergs vitamins because I know I can trust the products! Taking D3+K2 also the Multivitamin, and the B1 complex also have the wheatgrass juice powder & you're Magnesium! Love it! Thank you Dr Berg! 🙋🏻💕
Thanks Dr Berg for all the great information you share on how vitamins and minerals all work together. It has educated me over the years and my health has continued to improve.
I use to have lower back pain about 7 years ago. Sometimes my sciatica nerve would flare up and it was extremely painful to walk or bend over and it would eventually go away in 2 to 3 months. I would have to take that much time off work too. I have been taking Vitamin D 5000IU daily for 6 years now. This video made me realize the reason why i have not had lower back pain or my sciatica nerve flare up and give me problems for years now. Another thing when i had the sciatica nerve pinch thing flare up. I would use a Tens machine and put the pads in a special location on my butt that i learned where to put the pads on from a youtube video and it was almost temporary instant relief. But i had to keep up doing it every day for awhile. I hope this helps someone.
While I see the great need for vitamin and mineral supplementation and I enjoy your content I know for a fact that vitamin D is not as potent as prednisone. I have an autoimmune disease and prednisone is like throwing water on that fire. But it is harmful for anything other than short bursts so I try really hard not to use it even in a flare. I will admit that you are right about deficiency dosing. I have been taking 5000 IU daily for a couple years now and still show deficient when I get blood work.
I hadn't been taking my Vitamin D for a while. Then in the last couple of weeks I've been having lower back pain. So I just took 10,000 IUs of vitamin D. We're going to find out if that works. Thank you Dr!
This is amazingly helpful, Dr Berg. I'm profoundly grateful for all your videos. Lower back pain and neuropathy have reduced after following your advice. These exercises are spot on. Thank you 🙏🏻
Taking 40,000 IU during summer time and 60,000 IU from November through April, along with K2 MK7 + magnesium, always. Doing it for about 10 years by now. Fully healed lower back pain, all allergies gone...
I cured sciatica by accident! I tried everything but one day in desperation I put my hands on the wall and worked with my left leg as hard as when I kick the ball in soccer! Afterwards, I did the treatment, listening to my body! I "kick" 50 times with my leg that hurts, 25 times with my healthy leg! The pain went away from the leg, hip, lower back! My personal therapy lasted three days, three times a day
@@H4me7215 NO 😁. Ok, put your hands on the back of the chair, armchair! Move your legs away from the chair then like when a horse or giraffe hits, kick the animal when it attacks from behind! make ten moves! And forward into the empty air, imagine hitting a soccer ball! ten times stronger! Here, I have had no problems for several weeks!
I've had in the 90's and also in 2018 epidural steroid injections. They really didn't help much at all. In fact the 1st round in the 90's kicked in an Autoimmune disorder called 'Grave's Disease' a hyper overactive thyroid which had to be treated in my 20's. The moral to the story: Better food, good excercises & proper vitamins. Best of luck everyone.
My wife had bad sciatica for most of 2018. Doctors could only prescribe painkillers. Surgery mentioned. I looked at her blood labs results. One single note from a lab suggested a vitamin D deficiency. Against advice, we gave her 4000IU D3, some K2, magnesium and turmeric daily. Within 3 weeks her pain was gone and had stopped her meds. More Xrays later showed her back and spine had healed.

The first couple of days were brutal for me but the electrolytes and K2 D3 supplements helped as did the BP coffee! Now I feel like all of my inflamation is gone, I’ve been walking 90 min a day( I could barely walk 1/2 a mile). Anyways, I’m feeling soooo much better and I really wanted to thank you for all of the amazing life changing advice! God Bless you Dr. Berg!
They want me to have my back and hip fused. I don’t know anyone who has done it. So it didn’t help you?
That’s awesome.
I try and send his videos to my sister but so sad for her she doesn’t listen. I wished she would take notice of his wonderful life changing advice
Dr. Berg is just amazing. I have learned so much from him aside from nursing school.
In the Navy I bet them cheeks took a beating 😅
Sciatica disorder is brutal, you must be commended for your service to Humanity !! The entire Earth population is Grateful to you Sir...Thank you
True,You’re Right.
Right now I’m in back pain on my right side come and go from back,down to buttocks,right legs ,very heavy muscle.
I’m right now following,doing your instructions.
THANK YOU,Dr.Berg
@@beckstagalog6557well beck, what's the verdict now the Internet doctor told you to spend $60 on vitamins a month?

Dr Berg notes shared:
Today, I’m going to share a few natural sciatica pain remedies! The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. It extends from the lower back, down the back of the leg, to the bottom of the foot.
Surgery for sciatica can cause side effects like failed back surgery syndrome. Because 90% of sciatica pain will often resolve by itself, invasive procedures are best saved as a last resort.
Sciatic pain often gets worse in the winter, which would explain why vitamin D deficiency is a major contributor. If you’re dealing with inflammation, you need high amounts of vitamin D daily.
Vitamin D is a potent anti-inflammatory and works similarly to Prednisone without the side effects. It helps to repair the nerves, disc, connective tissue, and muscles involved with sciatica.
Magnesium deficiency can also contribute to sciatica because it’s essential for keeping your muscles relaxed. You also need adequate magnesium for vitamin D to work in the body.
Vitamin B12 is involved with several aspects of the nervous system and can cause numbness, tingling, and burning pain if you’re deficient. It’s highly anti-inflammatory, and a deficiency can also contribute to sciatica.
Most people don't get enough sun, so unless you’re taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day, you could end up deficient. If you have sciatica, try upping your dose of vitamin D3 to 20,000 to 30,000 IU daily.
Around 800 mg of magnesium each day can be beneficial for sciatica. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chocolate, almonds, leafy greens, bone broth, and spinach are good food sources of magnesium.
Red meat and other animal products provide plenty of vitamin B12.
Try these simple sciatica exercises focused on stretching the fascia to say goodbye to your sciatic nerve pain!
Thank you Dr Berg!!

Good summary

A year ago I changed my diet and started taking 20,000 UI of d3 a day and not only did my psoriasis clear up just I haven't had my sciatic nerve act up once since then. A very pleasant side effect. No more laying on the floor for 15 minutes before I can move
Are are taking 20000 iu of d3 daily
She clearly said that.@@anuchhabra8172
Were you taking k2 as well?
@@corydronen6023 take K2 and Magnesium with the D3.
is there a specific brand you are taking. I very severe psoriatic arthritis and am trying to cure it naturally
I did a similar stretch while sitting on my bed with a leg off the side and cured a 4 year tailbone injury in about three weeks.
Hello Dr Berg, I thank you for another great video.
I want to share my personal encounter with piriformis syndrome.
I have had piriformis pain in my buttock for almost 3.5 years.
I only started Nuerobion ( B3,B6,B12) about 9 months ago and it has been a great reliever of pain
I started keto diet ( meat + animal organs, eggs, cheese, butter, full cream milk, almonds, cashew nuts, vitamin k2+D3 supplement + Probiotic) on Aug 15. I completely cut down on sugar, refined carbs and highly processed food
Now, the pain is completely gone!
I am 1.75m, weighed 68kg, now I weigh 65Kg.
I have followed mostly your great food nutritional advice and it really works!
Thank you, Dr Berg!
Bro i am facing some nerve related problem in my testicle 6 month ago this sensation went thorough my back to my right leg i can feel that but it was the testicle nerve that is feel so much burning i ultrasound testicle THERE is no single deases there doctor found that i have lack of vitamin d in my body so they gave me medicine of. Vitamins d and also b6 b3 b12..is this pain of mine is causing from this satica pain?
Nuerobion has the form of B12 called cyanocobalamin which is not the preferred form. Methylcobalamin is the preferred form of B12 to take.
Thanks to previous videos you did on sciatica and vitamin deficiencies my ongoing issues were resolved. I’d seen chiropractors, tried stretching and braces and nothing worked. I was reduced to tears some days the pain was so overwhelming. Within a few weeks of taking B vitamins and cutting out sugar I was without pain! All thanks to your info. Reducing the sugar and taking a few more supplements after listening to other videos resolved the reflux/GURD issues I had my entire adult life. Thank you for giving real solutions to people!
No problem. Glad my videos helped you. Wishing you good health!
He is awesome. I was at a loss and a nervous wreck. With his videos I took vitamin b,
Magnesium and vitamin d and now I feel I can
Breathe.
Same! I bought a B12 complex supplement with Benfotiamine ..took about 3 mons, but it finally went away!!🎉🥳
How is it that every time I have an issue a NEW video pops up from Dr. Berg? Thanks for all you and your team do.
We need an actual Dr like you
You are right. I lifted 50 lbs of lard at age 18 incorrectly and injured my back. I had excruciating pain for 6 years. I married and got pregnant and took prenatal vitamins as 9 months progressed I remember commenting how my baby must have fixed my back. I had him without any medication "natural " and never suffered sciatica again.
The comments under all your videos are always interesting and helpful feedback. Keep it up folks!
I had sciatica until a month back. I think I saw one of your videos also from Dr. Mandel to take high dose vitamin D+K2, magnesium and vitamin B complex. That worked wonders for me. I have no sciatica anymore. I am so thankful to both of you!
Fantastic. Thanks for following my advice. Take care.
Thank you for sharing that.
Which magnesium are you taking?
Also if you can share the other brands of the other supplements I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!
I take Dr berg D3 K2 supplement how much more than 2 capsules?
I have had sciatica since 2016, and had severe pain for about a full year (literally in tears sharp stabbing pain). I went to many doctors and a specialist. Went down the whole list of options, except surgery because I wasn't good candidate (I was on blood thinners at the time). The last thing the doctor told me to try (he said he didn't think it would work) was physical therapy. So I went. It was tough and painful, by my therapist was excellent and gave me a dozen exercises/stretches to do every day, and after about 6-8 weeks, the pain was mostly gone. I kept going to PT twice a week for a year, and was totally pain free at that point. My therapist told me to just do those exercises 3 times a week at home, and 8 years later, I am still pain free and doing those exercises at home.
Please tell me what exercises.. I have this pain and hurts like hell. I cry as nothing helped me to get rid of sciatica.
Pls tell me those exercises
Pls tell me about your exercises?
I wish you could tell us what the excercises are I would definitely try doing them.
@@zmarko good for you ! Please tell us the exercises please 🙏🏻
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Stay safe and healthy!
You're one of the best Doctors ever!!
I am a nurse who had “failed” back surgery 25 yrs ago. Stretches that I learned like these in PT years ago helps my sciatica tremendously. I refuse meds for it other than the occasional Tylenol during a bad flare. Now I’m going to look into your supplement recommendations even though my regular labs for those levels are “normal “ range
Normal range means zero!!!
Have a look at a book called ‘The Miraculous Cure For and Prevention of All Diseases What Doctors Never Learned’. Apparently “normal” d3 is waaaay waaay low. “Normal levels” of d3 is very outdated science. Go to Google and search for “Anna’s Archive”, you can find loads of free resources there, books, articles, etc., there are many books of d3, give it a go.
Oh my gosh, I’ve just done the other stretch of foam under the lower back from another of your videos and felt so much relief from the pain, then topped it off with these stretches. Ive been having chiropractic treatment for weeks but an hour later the pain came back. I couldn’t sit or lay down to sleep without excruciating pain. Thankyou so much Dr Berg, I’m now crying tears of joy and relief as opposed to tears from pain. I can’t thank you enough.
I used to suffer from very painful sciatica. I had to take off work sometimes because I simply couldn't walk nor get relief to get a good night's rest. I went on keto 4 years ago. Haven't had sciatica pain since. I was already taking vitamin D3 so I knew it wasn't because of a deficiency. Once I cut out the excessive sugar, processed foods, bread and industrial seed oils, all pain and sickness went away.
These crappy foods also increase the need for D3&K2, magnesium, zinc, etc.
I also started removing bread and cutting food potions and I m feeling better ❤
I've been ketovore for 9 weeks. I feel better and my siatica doesn't flare up as much but it's still there. I'm praying after more time it will not return.
@@cougmom50
Here’s another stretch that may help you. Lie flat on the floor-then put your legs up straight against the wall. (So you are in an L shape) press your legs quite hard against the wall & hold for 20 seconds. Do this 5X. On your way upright-touch your toes for 5 seconds. Had this stretch in Zumba class. Do often as necessary till it abates. (I’ve even done it at 2:00am!)
you were extremely inflamed!
My hips, lower back, and knees have been KILLING ME the last few days, thank you for this timely video!
Some of his other videos on lower back and on knees may help as well.
I suffered from sciatic pain for a long time, having to see chiropractors and massage therapists every few months. Then I saw a video where they demonstrated some stretches that they claimed could help and by god they did.
😮I’ve seen several successes with B6 (plus magnesium calcium D) including a woman whose neurologist told her she would lose the leg - but just 3 days after starting B6 she called to thank me, saying “it’s the first time in 3 years I’ve been out of pain” !!! I healed carpal tunnel the same way in a few weeks.
Wow 🤩
How much B6 did you advise her to take, Delilah?
We all need this Doctor. 😊
I appreciate you. I have been watching you for 2 years now. Absolutely life changing. Thank you.
i have a stretch that came from a chiropractor that helped me immensely....
lay close to the side of the bed on your side
bring top leg up so that knee points off the bed
push your shoulder blades flat on the bed while your hips are still on the side
try to push your knee down a little with your hand as your knee hangs off the bed
repeat other side of body on other side of bed
i promise this works
I suffered over 3 years in pain, the last year I could barely walk. Saw 4 different doctors who said I needed double hip replacement. But something just didn’t set right. Like they all said…well, your hip doesn’t look too bad right now but we can do a hip replacement if you want, that’s the only way to relieve the pain. I’m lucky my insurance allowed me to keep getting “other” opinions. Finally went to a neurosurgery group who did an MRI, told me my hip was fine, but I had some damaged nerves in my lower back. They wanted me to come back and get a shot in one nerve bundle so they could figure out which one was damaged..sciatic or sacroiliac…. I went home and did some research…started immediately doing the stretches for both.. within 2 weeks I was totally pain free…. I also started taking benfotiamine with thiamine, which is supposed to heal nerve sheaths. I was amazed how much better I felt, now when I get twinges I just do these stretches, some involve hamstring.. sad how many years I dealt with pain and how many docs just wanted to turn me into a cyborg.
Kindly mention what stretches helped you or put a link if possible, my is suffering from
Sciatica pain it’s severe she can barely walk or sit.
Your help is appreciated
@@khushinandwani3278 I actually watched several videos, and tried all the stretches. El Paso physical therapy was great. Just search you tube for sciatica exercises. I never found out if it was sciatica or sacroiliac, but stretching really worked. Every day I put my foot on a chair and lean forward, then I stand straight with foot on chair and push my knee outwards..stretching the inside, as long as I feel it down the back of my leg it works..whatever I do. Which is weird cause my pain was in my right front thigh..I swear I could feel the bone. But stretching my hamstrings helped. Also, before I get up..I pull my knees up and twist side to side some, keeping back flat. I think you will need to try different ones to see what works for you. But you tube has tons of good videos on that very thing. Good luck, try a lot. Hope she gets better.
What are the stretches?
Important to lose weight.
@@khushinandwani3278 look up stretches for sciatica….i just did the ones that basically pulled the vertebrae apart, releasing tightness. And hamstring exercises seemed to help it too.
You have been my inspiration for so many years. Thank you.
Seeing this video has given me hope, last 5 years I have been crippled due to lower back pain/ hip pain/ leg pain.. Doctors keep saying i have ankylosing spondolitis but it hasnt sat right with me.. reading the comments is such a relief to hear aswell.. Thank you
I’m really glad the video gave you hope. Stay strong, and I hope you find the relief you deserve!
I’m in bed since yesterday with a swollen foot caused by a sciatica , I have no experience with this , and your video just appears as a miracle ! I can’t be on medication it makes sick I can’t stand medication, i need to get better and fast ! Hello from France 🇫🇷 and thanks for this video ! What specialist do I need to make an appointment with please ?
Good morning from New York. A good Chiropractor Doctor will help you
Why don't you do what this man is telling you and then you won't need a specialist. I'm a sciatica sufferer and these things allowed me to live a good portion of my life pain free!
I'm sorry you're in pain, but I'm pretty sure sciatica won't cause a swollen foot. But depending on what's actually causing it, it could be serious. Especially if it's from a blood clot or an infection. You really should consider getting it checked out, just to be safe.
Best wishes.
The swollen foot could be gout, if your toes are swollen, but not your legs.
@@ChrissieSM oh ok , I’m trying to find an appointment to see what I have , is my ankle actually hurting and a month ago I was told I had a sciatica issue and Saturday I started limping with a swollen ankle.
Dr. Eric you are one of my favorite doctors ! I do my best to listen to your vey informative and I'm very grateful! Thank you!
You're absolutely welcome!
God bless you man, this is just what I needed. I can't tell you how many times you helped me out with your advices to skincare, hair growth, stomach problems and now this. Thank you so much and God bless you, you are a blessing to this website 🙏

Can you share the tips on skin care, Hair growth and stomach problems?
Best video on the internet i came across so far .
I have had mid back compression since 2003. This information is greatly appreciated as my lower back sciatic is causing me problems now. Thankyou its just what I needed to hear.
Everything you mentioned in this video works.
A year ago I had sciatica and I followed that pose you added and my pain went away, and 4 months ago my mother came from USA with sciatic pain and no medication worked and finally she listened to my yoga advice (the same pose you showed) and it went away in 2 days….
Also, it never came back, if it comes I do the same pose for 15 seconds each leg and it’s gone ❤
That's great. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Stay safe!
Wow, what a great information. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! I had problems with 2 bulging disc a year ago resulting in sciatica. This year I take regularly Vitamin D3, 5600IU daily, sometimes I double this dosage at 11,200IU/ Plus taking each day B-complex and magnesium bisgycinate at the eveninig and morning magnesium malate. also taking Zinc with copper and selenium and after a year I don't have sciatica symptoms unfortunately. Want to check how it changed by CT. your channel is rally great, perhaps the best one for the very useful health advices. Peter from Slovakia.
I have helped my chronic back pain, by doing a dead hang from a bar every day. Just 30 seconds twice a day. It also fixed my shoulder pain.
Boy I wish I had that invert table to do those decompression techniques.
Hi Dr Berg, question if you have time to answer,,
you mentioned to take 20/30000 IU of vit D and 800mg of magnesium. Question,,, how many mcg of B12 would you recommend to go with this dose? Please and thank you for the amazing information you give us
Wow, I'm 52, fit and active but in so much pain, this is eye opening to say the least. Thank you so much!
I’m sorry to hear about the pain, but I’m glad the information was helpful. I hope you find some relief soon!
I had lower back pain for long period of time, after started taking vitamin D3 10k IU+ K2 all pain gone. Thank you Dr berg for the great content you share. Can you please do a video on dates? The nutritions and if it’s keto friendly?
He’s made videos on dates.
From hobbling around to striding without pain. Miracles, no more shooting pain and being in pain when walking...Limping around for weeks,, shooting pains with each step. Per chance, you popped up . I'm deeply grateful. Strangely I did not think it was siatic i thought my hips were giving in. After one set of exercise. That is one stretch on each side as per excercise. Immediaty after ,Easily climb stairs. From thinking I would need a huge operation to an instant cure. Dr Berg you always appear online just when I am in dire strates. Deep hearted gratitude, thank you. You are deeply appreciated. Take most of the vitamins you recommend, very powerful combined with those 2 easy exercises......wow., you've saved the day. Quality of life is perfect.....your amazing..
Thanks for this video, Dr. Berg! I fell on my butt roller skating and now I have pain on my right lower back. I will follow your advice!
Great 👍 he’s made more videos on this. Including the ones on nutrients which helped me most.
Oh Dr Berg, you are like a warm soothing blanket.

I watched a lot of your videos on Vitamin D. I do believe I am deficient(not much sun & no D3 supplement at the moment). I've not taken D3, which was 2000IU from the store, for a few months, due to what the ingredients were. Recently, I bought a bottle of your 10,000IU D3+K2 supplements. Awaiting delivery early this week! With that said, I just want to thank you for all of your information that you provide us with! I'm thankful we have doctors like you to steer us in the right direction!
How long have you been doing Carnivore?
Also, are you cheating regularly.
I was recently talking to a customer about Keto/Carnivore.
They were telling me that they're currently trying it out, and that it wasn't working for them.

Thankyou Dr. Berg for your info and exorcises, they’re very helpful for sciatic pain. A friend suggested I lie on the floor with a tennis ball near the base of my spine. I decided to to this but up against a wall, as I find getting up and down on the floor can be painful. I place the tennis ball between the wall and my lower back between L4 and S2, and move around slowly, up, down, and in a circle.
I have found that this decreases my constant nagging pain about 50%.🙂

Crystallized Ginger stopped my mother's sciatica nerve pain after her knee surgery.
The pain stopped within a minute of her eating 2-3 chunks of the ginger candy.
Why not try it?
It taste great and worked for her.
Ginger candy probably helped her be regular. Constipation and helping heal her colon and digestive issues. Let her also drink ginger
Tea it id wonderful
I don’t know for sure but I have read that ginger is anti-inflammatory so that might be why it worked…?

I would like to know which Magnesium should I take?
I was told that there are 3 different types of Magnesium.
😂 Punny!!
Yoga will humble you, it's such a gift, I never expected it to be so difficult in its simplicity....
Great for bowel
Movement also
I’ve had a few “recommended” back surgeries, laminectomy’s to relieve a pinched nerve. What they don’t tell you is that the body treats the little holes they drill to get access with the area as a break. Your body dumps calcium constantly to heal what it thinks is a break. I now have a natural fusion from L3-4 to L5-S1 and can no longer touch my toes, put on socks or shoes.
Dr. Berg I truly appreciate you. I have suffer with Sciatica nerve pain and all the doctor gave me was an injection which I stop taking after reading up on the medicine that was given to me. Thank you thank you.
I've suffered serious lower back pain and sciatica for almost 3 years.
After listening to you I upped my D3 to 15000 IU. Plus K2 and magnesium. If I still get a twinge, I take another 5000 before bed. It kicks in within an hour or two. People have mocked me and said it's a placebo. I don't care because it works.
Also 18 months ago I started taking 2000 D3 for osteoporosis. My asthma vanished along with my chronic sinusitis and I ceased using my CPAP machine.
No wonder big pharma is scared. I was listening to a D3 guru a while back who said blood tests for D3 didn't actually measure what our immune system needs. He said around 10,000 per day is actually used by the body everyday.
I have a question about this, what about calcium deposition in joints when you take vit D, K, and Mg?
I am also taking vit D, but I'm worried about unnecessary calcium deposition
@@roxyroxanne1233~ you have to take 100 micrograms of K2 (not milligrams) per 5,000 IUs of D3. The K2 drives the calcium from the soft tissues and arteries to the bones and teeth. Then, no worries about calcifying. Also, take magnesium glycinate to make it all work efficiently.
@@roxyroxanne1233 I take no calcium supplements. 4 years ago a doctor had me on a massive dose because of possible osteoporosis. I had a chest X-ray and saw a calcium build up in a main heart artery. I do not trust doctors anymore. Most haven't a clue. Take adequate K2 which I noted cleaned up the tartar on my teeth! That's been a problem I had for years. Now we are all different so it's a case of trying and noting the result.
Get a incline bench, I hang upside down 3 to 4 times a week and the results are marvelous
@@geesutton1399is this the same as an inverse table?
I use to have sciatica until I learnt how to massage my own psoas(sp?) muscle. I did that for awhile and then no longer had the problem. I years later started taking 2,000 UI of D3 daily for better Immune Function but I wasn't aware of it improving sciatica. Thanks for informing us all Dr. Berg.
Excellent explaining.Thank you so much Doctor Berg for your advice and your wonderful technique ❤
I definitely need to watch your videos more. Thank you so much for the health education!
Thank you. Hope my videos will help you :)
Had low back pain for years I came across a video which has 100% sorted this issue. I lay on my side and left my leg as high as I can and hold it for 10 seconds repeated 5 times 3 times per day. Pain was gone within a weeks. Also started taking a quality glucosamine supplement.
Just tried these stretches and felt an immediate relief! My sciatica flared up this week and using ice packs have helped a lot too. Love your videos. Thank you 🙏
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you again,this was very informative. I've been having sciatica pain for six months. I stopped working out at gym,I'm taking physical therapy and the stretching has helped more than anything else....
No problem. Hope my tips here will help you.
Thank you Dr. Berg! I fell on my tailbone 3 months ago and I started getting pain up and down the back of my legs and butt as well as my lower back. I kept hearing a voice saying to me ‘sciatica’ over and over, I looked it up and then I saw your vid come up! Amazing, thank you, def going to follow up on what you 😢 advise! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video just saved lives. Thank you
Appreciated, Marcus! Thanks for watching!
@@DrbergB12,D, Magnesium all at the some time??
After suffering through several days of intense pain, this morning I decided to take a full round of vitamins, which included the ones you mentioned (magnesium, B12 and Vitamin D). I hadn't seen this video until this evening but folks, do it. I haven't had pain all day. This was the first day this week that I didn't have to take acetaminophen just to get through.
Shockingly, I just explained how each of these nutrients play a major role in the development of healthy testosterone levels to a guy at a health fair the other day! He's 50-something years old, but his voice sounds like he's a female toddler. Thanks, sir, for sharing these tips! Have a great Sunday, y'all! 🙂
I watched a video called the scariest "doctor" on youtube i would be skeptical about anything eric berg claims
@@FrankJames4-ki3bt have a great day, sir.
That is because you have no knowledge regarding biomedical supplement treatment

Thanks dr Berg
I've been following your advice for years - I'm going to try these exercises as i have bad osteoarthritis pain and it might just help the pain in buttock and knee and inside leg nerve pain

Unfortunately my herniated disc has gotten worse and due to new symptoms the doc is concerned about the nerve that controls bladder function is in danger. So I’m having discectomy next Friday. I’m praying that everything goes ok and I don’t have a failed surgery.
However I will be following this advice and tips from the comments from now on to hopefully prevent and reherniation and help with my stenosis. Prayers are appreciated 🫶🏼
Thank you really much,
For me, you are really the best doctor from UA-cam!
May god bless you 🙏
I couldn’t walk for two weeks because my sciatica nerve ran from my back all the way down to my toe and it was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in in my life, and I used a neck massager on my butt, and that helped relieve a lot of the painbut I’m going to watch this whole video
Sorry to hear that. Hope my tips here will help you.
@@Drberg is it possible to have too much magnesium in our body?if yes, how can we lower our magnesium?
@@ninakphamI doubt it, I would suggest getting it tested if you think you do
Fantastic videos as usual. Just to add, a psoas muscle stretch also helps. It's one of the core muscles of the abdomen and is a key part of the connection between the lower body and torso.
I started taking Magne 5 magnesium from the Natural Heart Doctor last November. I had terrible leg cramps every night even if I was pushing electrolytes all day. Once I started Magne 5, I have not had one leg cramp at night. Almost 10 months. I take it at night which helps make me sleepy as well. Additionally, I started a B Complex along with Vitamin D since then. I’ve suffered off and on from sciatica from almost 20 years. All three of these supplements eased some of that pain too, but chiropractic therapy helped as well. At times, I had to crawl from my bed to the bathroom because pain was so bad. So what Dr. Berg is recommending here, with a comprehensive approach of vitamins and stretching, etc I can 100% vouch for.
Thank you, thank you! I am taking the vitas and exercise. God bless you.
Very welcome, glad you are following this. Keep it up and let me know how it goes!
Those stretches feel very good. As a 30+ year runner I incorporated yoga to help strengthen my core & literally make myself stretch & get stronger. Yoga can be intimidating at first yet my desire to rid myself of low back pain and tight soas was worth it!
That's nice. Thanks for sharing here what helps you. Stay safe1
Man he really knows what he's talking about. Thank you Dr Berg. I have clearer action goals on how to fix this pain now.
Excellent Tips and Exercises, Thankyou Dr.Berg
Thank you Lord for giving Dr. Burg an absolute wealth of knowledge for our health in a natural way!
Very glad to be of help.
I've been taking Dr. Berg's vitamins k2 and D3 for several years. There have been fewer episodes of back pain. I'm so fortunate to have found this wonderful man. ❤
Glad it helps you. Thanks for getting my supplement.
Can I ask what dosage of Vitamin D3 you have been taking daily?
@@Drberg I've been taking Dr Bergs vitamins because I know I can trust the products! Taking D3+K2 also the Multivitamin, and the B1 complex also have the wheatgrass juice powder & you're Magnesium!
Love it! Thank you Dr Berg! 🙋🏻💕
Immense gratitude to you doctor for the excellent information 😊
My hardest struggle was remembering to take them daily. So I set a timer on my phone same time every day & I remember to do it.
Thanks Dr Berg for all the great information you share on how vitamins and minerals all work together. It has educated me over the years and my health has continued to improve.
You're welcome! It's great that you found the information helpful.
Awesome topic.Thankful DrBerg, your advise is so helpful for my dad❤ I will send this topic to all my relatives in my country. THANKFUL dr Berg again
Glad you like the topic of the video. Hope this will help your family and friends. Take care.
He’s made more awesome on this.

I use to have lower back pain about 7 years ago. Sometimes my sciatica nerve would flare up and it was extremely painful to walk or bend over and it would eventually go away in 2 to 3 months. I would have to take that much time off work too. I have been taking Vitamin D 5000IU daily for 6 years now. This video made me realize the reason why i have not had lower back pain or my sciatica nerve flare up and give me problems for years now. Another thing when i had the sciatica nerve pinch thing flare up. I would use a Tens machine and put the pads in a special location on my butt that i learned where to put the pads on from a youtube video and it was almost temporary instant relief. But i had to keep up doing it every day for awhile. I hope this helps someone.
While I see the great need for vitamin and mineral supplementation and I enjoy your content I know for a fact that vitamin D is not as potent as prednisone. I have an autoimmune disease and prednisone is like throwing water on that fire. But it is harmful for anything other than short bursts so I try really hard not to use it even in a flare. I will admit that you are right about deficiency dosing. I have been taking 5000 IU daily for a couple years now and still show deficient when I get blood work.
Thank you for teaching us to be healthy everyday❤
I hadn't been taking my Vitamin D for a while. Then in the last couple of weeks I've been having lower back pain. So I just took 10,000 IUs of vitamin D. We're going to find out if that works. Thank you Dr!
Did it help?
This is amazingly helpful, Dr Berg. I'm profoundly grateful for all your videos. Lower back pain and neuropathy have reduced after following your advice. These exercises are spot on. Thank you 🙏🏻
Some of his other videos on sciatica may help further.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 thank you 🙏🏻
9:10 Dr. Berg casually gazing deep into my soul while this woman stretches.
Lol
Excellent Doc!! Compressed and great info! Thank you very much! ❤
Most welcome, thanks for watching!
i have been taken vitamin D3 10.000iu a day for a week now i will be updating after 4 month ❤
Take it with magnesium and K2. Very important
What the commentor said to you PLUS a little fat in your meal. It helps vitamins d absorb
Taking 40,000 IU during summer time and 60,000 IU from November through April, along with K2 MK7 + magnesium, always. Doing it for about 10 years by now. Fully healed lower back pain, all allergies gone...
@@googleuser6464 wow that’s impressive. Thanks for sharing
@@googleuser6464 :-O
I cured sciatica by accident! I tried everything but one day in desperation I put my hands on the wall and worked with my left leg as hard as when I kick the ball in soccer! Afterwards, I did the treatment, listening to my body! I "kick" 50 times with my leg that hurts, 25 times with my healthy leg! The pain went away from the leg, hip, lower back! My personal therapy lasted three days, three times a day
Are you facing the wall or is your back to the wall?(Probably doesn't matter) Thank you
It is kinda confusing..did you kick the wall...???
Eu am înțeles ca te sprijini cu mana dreapta( sau umar) și dai cu piciorul stâng. E corect ?
@@H4me7215 NO 😁. Ok, put your hands on the back of the chair, armchair! Move your legs away from the chair then like when a horse or giraffe hits, kick the animal when it attacks from behind! make ten moves! And forward into the empty air, imagine hitting a soccer ball! ten times stronger! Here, I have had no problems for several weeks!
Thanks ❤
I've had in the 90's and also in 2018 epidural steroid injections. They really didn't help much at all. In fact the 1st round in the 90's kicked in an Autoimmune disorder called 'Grave's Disease' a hyper overactive thyroid which had to be treated in my 20's.
The moral to the story:
Better food, good excercises & proper vitamins. Best of luck everyone.
Thank you! Your videos never cease to astound me with their excellent quality and thorough substance. I am grateful for your diligence and commitment.
Going to give these exercises a try. I have faith in your advice doc! Thanks a million!!
