    Finally, there is someone who addresses this incredibly big problem. This is exactly what I inform all my patients about. There are so many consequential problems that come because of this. Especially when the patient gets the recommendation to stretch completely wrong which only makes everything much worse! Thank you so much for this video. so valuable🤩👍🏼

    I’m 35 and have 3 herniated discs pushing against the spinal cord. Stenosis. Doctors recommended immediate surgery I refused. Decided to take vitamin, k,b,c daily along with a neck brace. I now have strength back in my legs, my equilibrium is back balance is perfect. So it’s definitely healing. Avoid surgery and take it easy. Surgery should be the absolute last resort.

    It can also be caused by emotional and/or physical abuse that may have started at an early age, and may cause deformation of the spine and other bones and body parts. This can get complicated, depending on how long it's been going on. The person might need some psychological help to go along with the physical work that you describe. I like your suggestions. I'm going to try them. Thank you, Doc. God bless you.

      i will give you some great advice.
      1. Get a length of inner tube from a small motorcyle, like a 150 cc front wheel inner tube.You can get this for free out of many motorcycle repair shop rubbish bins.
      2. Grasp the length of inner tube with both hands, palms down or forward, two to four inches apart.
      3. Sit on a stool. Set your shoulders back and down (so your scapulae are flat) and keep your chin tucked (good posture) pull the tube apart in different directions - to the side, overhead, forward. One great exercise to to do these pull-aparts with your hands tounching the top of your chest. Again, pull back and down.
      4. You won't get much stretch from the tube, especially at first. When you get stronger, you will get more stretch. But these are semi-isometric holds (meaning that there is little muscle lengthening and muscle fiber tearing but there is still some stimulation of the Golgi tendons, which makes it a very effective exercise) .
      5. Maintain the holds at maximum strength (i.e., maximum muscle contraction) for at least six seconds (it takes a few seconds to build to your maximum contraction, so say ten seconds per hold). If you like, hold the holds even longer. I do the chest pull-aparts for up to a minute.
      6. Your effort counts most of all. Put in maximum effort once you get max contraction. It is only for six seconds!
      7. Do it just once a day for a few reps or even as many times a day as you like and every day too. Isometrics do not cause injury, but these are semi-isometric, meaning it is hard to overdo them, but not impossible. Have a rest day occasionally when you feel like it. It is up to you, but it becomes a little addictive, so watch out.
      8. These exercises work hands, forearms, upper arms, shoulders, traps, neck, upper back and lats. You will be filling out your T shirts differently very fast.
      If you do these holds as hard as you can, you will see results very, very fast.
      Keep those shoulders back and down! Remember that. This is a very good exercise for those who spend a lot of time in poor posture at the computer or phone.

    In short, don't stretch backwards or sideways, that'll compress nerves. Instead, use the trap stretch and chin-tuck shown from 10:50 onwards, and the stationary neck muscle excercises at around 15:20.
    I'll remember those. Been waking up with sleeping arms lately. Will also consult my local doctor for personalised advise.

My mom also thought that I was making it up a bit. While on a holiday in HK my family from HK took me serious and took me to a doctor to get a X-Ray. Before i went to the doctor i just thought that it were triggerpoints so when he diagnosed me with this i was shocked. I now exercise everyday and have to stretch my neck every 20 minutes to improve it. It is now a lot better than before but i have pay constant attention to it.

I was diagnosed with spinal spondylosis, like many other people I know in their fifties, about 1 -1/2 ago and I've been through the mill with orthopedic surgeons who recommended arthritis meds and surgery, many wasted sessions at PT, plus a host of other remedies that did nothing (and in some cases made my pain worse). The chin pull exercises, after just three days, have actually made a difference, and now I have hope that by continuing to do these and correcting my posture, I can fix this and finally be pain free going forward. Everyone should watch this video. Thank you, Dr. Mandell.

We don't need to get rid of the greatest advances of a generation because people arent sitting straight (although I feel its more because the older generation feels insecure due to their lack of knowledge about it).

      Because they don't care about sick people. You're still young. Go to a physiotherapist and set up a proper exercise program to do every day to help your spine and muscles. Stick to those exercises because it's so easily to fall back to 0 and poor posture. Take care of your spine now and your older self will thank you. I suffer from multiple back issues too. Proper back exercises are our friends. Pills solve nothing in the long run when it comes to back issues.

      U'm a side sleeper. I sleep with a rolled up t-shirt under my neck. Position it so it's comfortable. At first I had the whole thing under, now it's just half and the other half just lies beside me.
      I also sleep with a small fluffy night shirt under my side. Find something you have that fits your waist so it makes your body level.

    I've been having neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and just watching this video I followed what you were saying, and instantly I felt better. Not 100% but my neck muscles loosened up and my head was moving just like it was a hinge that had been oiled. And that explanation about the smaller disk space and compressing the nerves in the back is a lot of help to understand what kind of exercise is wrong or right.
    I'm so grateful for all the things that you share, and the fact that you are doing this for free. Plus all your positive food for thought. God bless you.

    This is mind-blowing! I have cervical spondylosis, a bulging disc at C2-C3, Occipital Neuralgia and Trigeminal Neuralgia. My Pain Specialist/Neurologist gave me exercises with neck flexion backwards (hanging backwards); neck flexion forward (chin to chest); leaning head to the Left/Right to stretch and also to pull gently looking downward at a 45 degree angle and hold all for 10 counts.
    Which is absolutely shocking, because this lesson is explaining all of those movements are just causing more flare and more damage.
    Thank you so much for the clarification!🙏🏽🌻

    Hi. Thank you for your videos and all of the information.
    I have a question about my neck and lightheadedness.
    I recently had an MRI done because I've been very lightheaded later in the day for about a week and a half, now.
    I have a protrusion in my neck (I don't remember which disc, sorry) that doesn't cause any pain (besides a little bit of discomfort in the back of my right arm).
    My neurologist said that she's sure that the protrusion is causing there to be less blood flow to my brain, and the area around the protrusion has a bit of swelling/inflammation by the end of the day from holding my head up. I usually feel fine in the morning, and always think that it's gone.
    Do you agree with my neurologist that this could be the cause of my lightheadedness, and also, do you think that the chin-tuck can possibly help with this problem?
    Thanks again.
