  • Spinal stenosis in the lower back is seen as a condition that you can NEVER get better and everyone eventually gets surgery for it.
    This happens because most healthcare workers are taught that it doesn’t get better in school. They’re shown to treat patients with medications, injections and surgery. Their process is to send stenosis patients for x-rays or an MRI to figure out how bad the stenosis is, then offer drugs, hopelessly attempt physical therapy and see how long the patient can hold out before they sign up for surgery.
    But here in our clinic, we see lumbar spinal stenosis patients reduce symptoms, get pain-free, and even become more active than they’ve ever been in their lives!
    It comes down to figuring out the right combination of treatments and being consistent with them.
    Test each of these for 1 week at a time to see if it benefits you.
    Then figure out which 3-4 of the treatment options from this video work best for you. Then make time to consistently do them as long as you need to get back to normal or at least better enough to be active again.
    We offer an online comprehensive exercise program for back problems right here!
    It’s called the 28 Day Back Health & Wellness Boost Program.
    It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving back health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

    i can hear the experience with lumbar stenoisis and spinal issues in your voice. i am now practicing the excercises and have stopped doing the ones to avoid. I am seeing improvement already. i am subscribing to your channel and will be enrolling in the 28 Day Back program. My back issues developed over my 73 years , including 35 years of cycling , hang gliding , running and mountain biking (and NOT DOING GOOD BACK EXCERCISES , while also doing some of the bad exercises people say are good for you) . My nest body upgrade will be your Cervical neck series. Thanks !

      Hi Donna,
      Chiropractic care can offer some relief for lumbar spinal stenosis, but it's crucial to find a practitioner experienced in addressing this condition. Keep in mind that while it may provide temporary relief, it's essential to focus on addressing the root cause for long-term improvement. We've curated a playlist specifically for lumbar spinal stenosis that you may find helpful. You can access it here:

    I have trouble understanding #7 where you state to suck in your abs and get rid of the arch. Would seem as soon as you fall asleep you are not going to be able to maintain the flattening of you arch. I also an a bit skeptical of drinking that much water at for some it will decrease your sodium levels. Lastly, there are many reasons for stenosis to the way mentioned may or may not help. Sill I picked up several helpful hints and appreciate the video.

    I have had cervical stenosis surgery on C4 and C5 in 2016 and recently C5 and C6 in March of this year. I also had Lumber cleaned up in 2018 on L4 and L5. My problem is the neck repair has created all this nerves pain and I am still dealing with lumber stenosis pain and I am in a wheelchair 80% of time. Is the Lumber exercises safe with the recent Cervical surgery?

    Hi Doc, would standing up and not moving for 8 plus hours be bad for spinal stenosis? I am considering a job of holding a sign on a road and directing trafic but has very little movement....I don't think it would be good for my lower stenosis.

    I have chronic bouts of sciatica that only last about 10 days each time thank god.
    Does all this info apply to sciatica as well? Your section on what NOT to do are all the stretches sciatica stretches recommends. I'm a bit confused. Stretches and back strengthening the same. Definitely don't help me that's for sure.....

    • @epmanualphysicaltherapy
      @epmanualphysicaltherapy  3 месяца назад

      This information can definitely apply to someone who has sciatica-like symptoms. Your sciatic nerve is composed of multiple spinal nerve roots. If the spinal nerve roots in the low back are pinched, it would feel very similar to sciatica. That is why we want to treat the low back and the hips. So, this may be able to help!
