Hi, i have 2 herniated discs diagnosed with mri. I have been suffering with severe neck pain and upper back pain for more than 15 years. No painkillers ever did anything to this pain. 4 days ago i made a brave decision and after a few years of simply twisting and crackling my neck i decided to pull my head strong and steady. I used my left hand to grab around the back of my head just under my right ear and under the right jawbone. Very tightly holding my neck and supporting the head with the left forearm. Then pushed steady slowly and very firmly my chin up, slightly backward and to the right. Lying in bed to relax all the muscles. After a bit of sweet muscle pain a deep but comfortable pop happened. I felt something move slightly. I repeated this on the other side. From the next day i have no more pain, its completely gone. More range of motion and i feel like my posture changed slightly.
@@SaraHessXXIV 2 years on this method is still working. Whenever i feel tight neck or headacke onset i pull my head untill the neck pops. Half an hour later i am like new... best of luck. A chiropractor should be able to pull ones neck with the same result, but you cant have a chiropractor whenever you need them or every day...
Reading this brought me back to finding relief from the years of my severe neck pain caused by occipital neuralgia. I fought it for 6 years with no help from any medications. Medicinal marijuana is what broke my pain and gave me some of my life back. I’m so happy you found relief!
I just found your channel and have been binge watching it all day. Thank you so much for making these videos because you're actually helping people improve their quality of life. You are awesome.
This video is so helpful. The exercises relieve my headaches immediately and gave me more mobility in my neck. They also helped with sinus problems I was happening. Thank you.
Dr Rowe, Really appreciate you suggesting this neck traction video with a prompt post. Immensely helped relieve neck pain even with one try. Thankyou so much !!!!
Thank you for your work! "What you have today is based on the giving of those who lived before. All of your technological conveniences, your art, your music, everything that has been made and produced, your freedoms and your disabilities-all are the legacy of the giving and lack of giving of those who lived before you. They made possible the life that you have today, as you must make possible the life of those who will live beyond you. From a greater perspective, this is the context in which your mission and purpose can be understood. This is what fulfills you at the level of your Being. All other forms of fulfillment stimulate the mind and may give it a temporary sense of peace and purpose, but they do not affect the greater and deeper part of you. They do not lead to anything lasting and meaningful. What you give today will be felt tomorrow. What you contribute in this life will determine the life of the generations to come, and they will thank you or curse you depending on what you gave and how your giving was accomplished. You do not live for your generation. You live for the future. The future is determining the present." A quote from a free online book entitled *Greater Community Spirituality*
I'm so sorry for who ever is struggling with this pain. I'm 21 and have a severe hernaited disc. This hernatied disc on my back is unbearable , I cannot imagine that type of pain in my neck. Will be praying for yall!
hey man how are you now did you consult a physiotherapist i dont know the severity of my condition because im able to do most daily activities but alywas have a pain in the neck it says disc bulge and also disc degenrative disease for me im also around ur same age..19
I am struggling disc bulge issues in my cervical areas...n couldn't sleep from last week...I just tried towel technique....alhmdulillah so amazed....its releive me...even by medication I didnt gt relief...may Allah bless u n ur family to make such a helpful video...
Hi hope you are well. I same issue on the right side of the neck. And it radiates to my head as well sometime. Can you please help which exercise helped you?? And show me what should I do??? I did the first exercise and it didn’t help much.
Thanks so much! I’ve been seeing physio’s for years for on going bulging disc issues. I got more relief in the last 10 minutes then anything they have done.
Needed this I’m early and didn’t even know I had this till I got an mri after being in a car accident. I feel the universe is trying to tell me I need to stretch more even playing football and running track I never took stretching seriously and not sure why. I will keep everyone updated thanks geez 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video! I’ve watched your previous vids for lower back and sciatica pain and those stretches helped. This one relieved pain in my neck, down my shoulders and arms. I used the towel exercises and my neck popped on both sides and I felt relief immediately. Thank you!
perfect video i was sleeping and in some crazy position with my head turned to the right and body to the left and had a bad dream or something and jolted myself now my neck has been all messed up. Go very slow with these some injuries may be more severe than others. Thank you for your great channel here on youtube.
@@DrRowe hi Dr. Rowe. It's helpful. Make a video of precautions to be taken if I need. Traction in my neck. But the pain is still there in elbow and back left shoulder.
I am so lucky to find your videos! Your instruction is very clear with reason and right feel to get. My neck and back are all benefited from your exercises! Thank you so much!! Can you please share the fix for TMJ and twisted ankle? Much appreciated!
Thank you for these very effective excercises. Can you please recommend any medical pillows or massage devices whether guns or electrical or infrared that can help to relieve chronic neck muscle spasm.
This was amazing - pain I've had for months and months (tried so many things) was gone in minutes. The one downside is that since I had such pain and stiffness, the to hadnt twisted my head in months - once it felt better I started moving my head around and then immediately felt sharp pain in my back under my scapula, I think in the Rhomboid.... Now I'm nursing a tweaked muscle that has been dormant for months. But neck feels great!!! Thank you
Hi, I see that your videos are so helpful from thecomments. Thanks for the videos. I have a condition to ask for "Annular disc bulges are noted at C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels causing mild indentation over the ventral thecal sac." Symptoms: tingling and numbness in the left hand. For this condition, could you please confirm if I can follow the exercises from this video Or any other set of exercises you suggest ? Thank you.
I took an MRI and had posterior bulging Disk of C5/C6 C6/C7 and I cannot thank you enough Dr. for these exercises help A LOT Relieving that pain, I’ve only started doing them for 3 days, i have a question though, if i continue to regularly do these exercises, will it help to completely HEAL and rid of that bulging disc??
Excellent home exercises simply explained for pain relief! I really found the most relief with the band traction supine at the door knob and door frame in standing with lowering the body weight. Thank you! Any others for bulging/herniated discs at the c spine, please let me know!
Your videos always seem to have some slight variations from the common repertoire that really seem sto hit the spot. Thnak you so much for all your help.
Im from INDIA. Got neck pain from going to gym after close grip lat pull ups work out, I can't rotate my head left side its very stiff and i have severe neck pain for 9 days 9th day night i saw this video and i do the same excercise you do OH MY GOD my pain is gone and now i can freely rotate my head wow thank you so much sir .i dont have words to praise you thank you very very much guys this doctor is awsome pls follow without doubt and again thank you sir 🎉🥰😘
@DrRowe Thank you for these videos. I've benefitted a lot from them! I am wondering if there is any added measure you might recommend for someone who has lost strength in one arm w/ building disc?
Hi! I can't wait to come see you, I see I'm m only an hour away!! I have a terrible neck, with daily pain and loss of motion. I haven't been to a chiropractor in 2 years :( I have , ( I think what I recall) what my old chiropractor said, was buldging disc and degenerative arthritis :( my kids rub my neck for me every night ❤ I try to pull and stretch but can't get relief, can't wait to try out what you show in this video!
My report on my neck. I had a fall a while back. I always wondered could it affect my pheric nerve, excuse spelling. Maybe these exercises might help? Standard protocol to include sagittal STIR sequence. Normal vertebral alignment and normal vertebral marrow signal with no occult fracture seen. Desiccated discs from C2-3 through to the C6-7 level. There is a minimal right disc bulge at the C3-4 level and there are minimal central disc bulges at the C5-6 and C6-7 levels but no appreciable canal or exit foraminal narrowing at any level. No degenerative disc protrusions and widely patent neural foramina at the remaining cervical levels. Normal signal throughout the cervical cord. No intraspinal mass seen.
Just discovered this! Can't wait to try it.I have been dealing with pain down my arm for over a year now when I finally went to see a Dr I was sent to a specialist. I was diagnosed with bulging degenerative disc within the C5 to C7 area along with bursitis, torn rotator and moderate carpal tunnel on my right side. Physical therapy got my range of motion back in my shoulder so no surgery was needed but the radiating pain down my arm some days is just excruciating. The steroid shot didn't help and the pills they gave me only added weight gain with no relief. I'm hoping that this can give me some form of peace. So tired or hurting.
Omg thankuuu so much for making such a helpful video👍 . I had really bad pain for last 3 days in the shoulder region . By doing 2-3 exercise of vid gave me Instant pain relief . So thankful 🙆❤️🥺
I've been in pain for one month as of this weekend as I've had 3 times where the pain worsened. This was amazing. I felt the tension release and I felt the pain go back moments after I stopped. I'm sure a few days of doing this will help tremendously.
These are the stretches I have been looking for, thank you! Will these stretches just relieve acute pain or does opening the joint contribute to healing the joint? Thanks again
👉👉 Let us know how this worked for you in the comments section. We appreciate it! 👉 Have a suggestion for a future video? Leave it below! 👉 Band Link: amzn.to/3yoZZg3
I'm so thankful I found this. I've been experiencing pain at the back of my neck, my bone looks curved the same as my lower back bone. I hope this will work for me, the pain makes me feel tired all the time 🥺
This is awesome! I need these for my degenerative discs. A couple I’ve tried before this video, but I’ll add the additional to my flexing. Thanks so much!
Hi Dr. Rowe, What can cause numbness and tingling in left arm/side? Is this neck or lumbar spine issue? I also have been losing weight..Could this be vagus nerve issue? Do you have any videos to help vagus nerve? Thank you in advance.
Got a small c5 bulged disk from a bad benchpress posture. Sometimes it may changed side idk why. I don’t feel pain around my neck but my shoulder and around scapula. My question is if those exercises can produce a vaccum effect and get the bulged back inside the annulus disk ? Good video BTW thx doc
All of this looks like it would help so much. In a public place now but struggling with intense neck pain for a long time. At this event it hurts so bad. Probably from all the driving. Just had to look up something that could relieve the pain. Can't wait until I get back to the hotel room.
They each do their own thing, but overlap and offer variety. Best advice is to take the ones you feel offer you the most and concentrate on two or three. Thanks for watching!
Man I've been dealing with a herniated disc (c4 c5), and when my PT does the traction, it helps, but it never seems to work out that I have a PT appointment when I'm in crisis-level pain/discomfort. I was really struggling tonight and your exercises brought me some relief instantly. Really grateful, Dr., thanks so much.
Thank you, Dr Rowe! I have a quick question about correlation, maybe even causation, of a link between a "tugging" sensation on my left earlobe starting 2 months ago that was a nuisance mystery until cervical discs went acute last week. I have been in immense pain, even feeling it in my heart area and left tricep like a cardiac event. I believe the earlobe nuisance sensation was the very beginning symptom of a compressed nerve bundle? Not looking for medical expertise, just an opinion of a possible connection. Thank you
I'm confused about herniated discs or bulging discs in the neck. If they're effectively out of position, do they work back into position over time or is surgery required. I think I may have a herniated disc from golf and golf associated exercises...but I've read many golfers who had similar symptoms, had surgery to correct it.
Wow i have been in SO much pain and this actually helped thank you! Do you have any help for after back disc surgery with complications i.e discitis, archonditis, permanent sciatica please? Thank you so much 😊 xx
Doc, I've been in pain now for about a week , no relief, constant pain , haven't slept in 6 days , I've been icing the area with no results, doing exercises as well with no relief, tried heat pad but not sure if it helps or makes it worse. Pain radiates down my left arm all the way down to my thumb and first two fingers. If you can please let me know what I can do different to try to get some relief. Thanks in advance.
Hi There, I wanted to ask you if you could clarify one thing: I have discs bulges (several of them) around my neck. They are mostly on my left side and I think there are two in both sides. After trying different solutions such as chiropractor, I am convinced that the most important method is physio therapy which aims to strengthen the muscles around it. My question is wether or not the discs bulges would be reversed? Some people say they are not, but we by strengthening the muscles around would be pain free. Others say it is not uncommon that they can be reversed. What is your experience? Finally, if I were to do physio do you also recommend other forms of therapies like shockwave or others to be a help?
Hello Doctor , I have a pain on my back which makes me so uncomfortable , I've got appointment from the doctor he said no need to worry about all clear but I have still pain ahhmm is there any possibility i can share you my report ?? Waiting for you reply thanks !
**Doc** what can you offer to help for those of us that have done these types of movements for traction yet the progressive nature of our cervical spine has moved us into a much less mobile state causing the use of our arms to help impossible. If you have ideas, please share. I'd automatically done those you've shared here and nolw I have much less control in constructing traction. Thank you.
Hi doctor, can you please help me, please I have bulging disc been taking naproxen and amitriptlyine pain killers don’t help much?? Mine is mainly on the right side and also it radiates to my heals as well. Would very much appreciate if you can help me with this ???
I have herniation of disc neck and the pain is going through right shoulder to right hand . if this method is applicable in this condition? Thank you Dr.
I did the towel exercise and after a week I realized I wasn’t crossing my arms. Does that matter?? And I heard a squish when I pulled the towel in opposite directions. Is that ok??
I did some of these exercises yesterday and my neck seems to feel a bit better. But I woke up in the middle of the night with pain in the left side of my lower back, which is still ongoing. Is it possible that the exercises are related to the pain or is it more likely that they are unrelated?

Hi Dr. Rowe, What can cause numbness and tingling in left arm/side? Is this neck or lumbar spine issue? I also have been losing weight..Could this be vagus nerve issue? Do you have any videos to help vagus nerve? Thank you in advance.
Got a small c5 bulged disk from a bad benchpress posture. Sometimes it may changed side idk why. I don’t feel pain around my neck but my shoulder and around scapula.
My question is if those exercises can produce a vaccum effect and get the bulged back inside the annulus disk ?
Good video BTW thx doc
I absolutely love this man x thank you for so so much Michael, and have a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks and you too!

C5 c6 disc patient need to do operation or surgery or can the patient get better through exercise pls tell me sir.
Thank you for the tips. They work fine.
Thanks for watching!
All of this looks like it would help so much. In a public place now but struggling with intense neck pain for a long time. At this event it hurts so bad. Probably from all the driving. Just had to look up something that could relieve the pain. Can't wait until I get back to the hotel room.
Thanks for the video. Great stuff. I have a question. Do these exercises do the same thing, or is there a reason to do all of them?
They each do their own thing, but overlap and offer variety. Best advice is to take the ones you feel offer you the most and concentrate on two or three. Thanks for watching!
Man I've been dealing with a herniated disc (c4 c5), and when my PT does the traction, it helps, but it never seems to work out that I have a PT appointment when I'm in crisis-level pain/discomfort. I was really struggling tonight and your exercises brought me some relief instantly. Really grateful, Dr., thanks so much.
How are you now bro ? Please reply
Thank you, Dr Rowe! I have a quick question about correlation, maybe even causation, of a link between a "tugging" sensation on my left earlobe starting 2 months ago that was a nuisance mystery until cervical discs went acute last week. I have been in immense pain, even feeling it in my heart area and left tricep like a cardiac event. I believe the earlobe nuisance sensation was the very beginning symptom of a compressed nerve bundle? Not looking for medical expertise, just an opinion of a possible connection. Thank you
Excellent. I’ve saved this for future reference. Any exercises for between the shoulder blades where you can apply traction as well ?
These are pretty good exercises for that area: ruclips.net/video/60oFyVl1j4k/видео.html

Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Kindly what style of swimming is suitable for patient suffering from c4 &5 prolapse?
I'm confused about herniated discs or bulging discs in the neck. If they're effectively out of position, do they work back into position over time or is surgery required. I think I may have a herniated disc from golf and golf associated exercises...but I've read many golfers who had similar symptoms, had surgery to correct it.
Man, the weather is amazing outside!
Pure Michigan :)
Wow i have been in SO much pain and this actually helped thank you! Do you have any help for after back disc surgery with complications i.e discitis, archonditis, permanent sciatica please? Thank you so much 😊 xx
For the lower back?
Thank you doctor you and your exercises are amazing. Really thankful to you.
Happy to help and thanks for watching!
Doc, I've been in pain now for about a week , no relief, constant pain , haven't slept in 6 days , I've been icing the area with no results, doing exercises as well with no relief, tried heat pad but not sure if it helps or makes it worse. Pain radiates down my left arm all the way down to my thumb and first two fingers.
If you can please let me know what I can do different to try to get some relief.
Thanks in advance.
Hi There, I wanted to ask you if you could clarify one thing: I have discs bulges (several of them) around my neck. They are mostly on my left side and I think there are two in both sides. After trying different solutions such as chiropractor, I am convinced that the most important method is physio therapy which aims to strengthen the muscles around it. My question is wether or not the discs bulges would be reversed? Some people say they are not, but we by strengthening the muscles around would be pain free. Others say it is not uncommon that they can be reversed. What is your experience? Finally, if I were to do physio do you also recommend other forms of therapies like shockwave or others to be a help?
Started these exercises today as i was just diagnosed w bulging neck discs. Ive been having dull headaches w minimal neck discomfort.
How are you now? Were your headaches Unilateral?
Headaches have stopped. Yea, they were mostly located top, front. I'd like to think the exercises helped.
Hello Doctor , I have a pain on my back which makes me so uncomfortable , I've got appointment from the doctor he said no need to worry about all clear but I have still pain ahhmm is there any possibility i can share you my report ?? Waiting for you reply thanks !
**Doc** what can you offer to help for those of us that have done these types of movements for traction yet the progressive nature of our cervical spine has moved us into a much less mobile state causing the use of our arms to help impossible. If you have ideas, please share. I'd automatically done those you've shared here and nolw I have much less control in constructing traction. Thank you.
The coolest feature of your Living Earth Crafts table is the sliding cabinet underneath it.
I wonder if they're still making tables...
absolutely brilliant!! can I do it every day or I need a rest? Thank you very, very much!
These can be done as daily mobility exercises, or just as needed throughout the week. Thanks so much for watching!
Your channel is very helpful, so thanks !
Any plans on doing some possible exercises for knocking knees ?
Yes, that is one I plan on having coming out very soon! Thanks for the kind words too.

Hi doctor, can you please help me, please I have bulging disc been taking naproxen and amitriptlyine pain killers don’t help much?? Mine is mainly on the right side and also it radiates to my heals as well. Would very much appreciate if you can help me with this ???
I have herniation of disc neck and the pain is going through right shoulder to right hand . if this method is applicable in this condition? Thank you Dr.
thanks for the video!🎉
Listen to this man!!
I did the towel exercise and after a week I realized I wasn’t crossing my arms. Does that matter?? And I heard a squish when I pulled the towel in opposite directions. Is that ok??
I have undergone ACDF OPERATION, IT'S 6 weeks now
Can i do this excercise??
I did some of these exercises yesterday and my neck seems to feel a bit better. But I woke up in the middle of the night with pain in the left side of my lower back, which is still ongoing. Is it possible that the exercises are related to the pain or is it more likely that they are unrelated?
I watched this movement and I already felt pain in my neck. Seem like it’ll cause more pain to the neck. 😢 Really afraid to try out. 😊
My disc is bulging or ruptured into spinal cord - no pain, just numb fingers 4 & 5 fingers and half palm. Will this help?
How can I get to this point? Meaning I cannot sit up without excruciating pain. Should I just power through?
