    I had a herniated disk 7 yrs ago. Took meds, had several steroid shots, acupuncture for years. Then on my own, I discovered walking. I walk every day everywhere and a lot! It’s my only exercise. I don’t do any other exercises. Never drive anymore anywhere. Sciatica pain, back pain totally gone! I feel wonderful! Hallelujah!

    Dr. David, I am amazed.... I suffered with sciatica for years, then the pain went to my groin and hip. I have been to numerous PTs and was never told about strengthening glutes!!! All I got was stretching exercises. After watching your videos for one week, I am feeling relief. Thank you for sharing this info, as I have completely lost confidence in medical physicians. I worked at a desk for 50 years and always tried to walk and do yoga, but I had no idea how weak my glutes have gotten.

      I have been suffering from Sciatica for last couple of years. I have been doing the
      “putting the leg on the knee and pushing it down” but why it didn’t help , I have learned

    OMG those exercises really works for me. I’ve done two this morning and hardly had any pain today. Tonight I’ve done the three of them and my foot feels so good! What a difference in my pain, yes I believe that stretching your sciatica nerve is not good for you. I’ve been doing it for many weeks and it doesn’t help me. Thanks for helping me to have faith in getting better by doing these these simple exercises.❤❤❤❤

    I’ve been suffering with sciatica the past 4 months and I tried everything. Came across your videos and just started with a simple glute activation by squeezing and relaxing my glutes for 10 reps multiple times each day and I feel almost no pain. This is the only relief I’ve had in a long time. Thank you again 😭😭😭

      Hi, i’m in Michigan so I can’t get to Dr. David’s clinic, I’ve just started doing his exercises every morning, and I’m hoping to see relief in a month, but keeping my expectations reasonable. I was wondering if you could share how you’re doing now after 10 months and what helped you to keep up with the program consistently..
      Have a good Memorial Day.

    I started having sciatica pain a few days ago. Don’t know what I did just got out of bed hurting really bad. I couldn’t sit or stand. The pain was terrible. I started taking pain pills because I couldn’t even stay in the shower 5 minutes. I came across your videos and it has changed my life. The pain is almost gone. Thank you so much. ❤😊

    I suffered one of the worst bouts of sciatica for the past 5 months. My doctor just threw a range of medications at the problem and advised lots of rest. Nothing worked. In desperation, I turned to RUclips for stretches etc. No relief until I came across your video for the top 5 exercises. Almost instant relief! I shared with a number of family and friends with the same conclusion. Your advice is sound and your suggestions WORK!!!! I can only say a HUGE THANK YOU❤

  • @janicekeck1213
    @janicekeck1213 9 месяцев назад +2

    Wow. I've been suffering with low back pain, groin pain, and for the last 4 mos sciatica. I've tried every stretch, cream and lotion known to medicine. Nothing helped. In fact...the touted figure 4 made things worse. I tried various RUclips pt channels and most ended up making it hurt more. But your 3 stretch plus leg off the bed stretch is a miracle. Today. I went to my son's house. We patterned around his yard. When mh back hurt and sciatica came...I dropped and did the routine. On his deck, and leg off the Bannister. On his dock. With the leg off the dock. On his lawn with the leg off his work bench. No, none of these locations were ideal. But I made them work!!!! Thank you@

    I think my doctor watched this video,bc he showed me this same exercise in his office and told me that it helped him with his back pain, he told me to stand against the wall. It was funny watching him show me this exercise he’s a old and wise doctor I’ve been seeing him for over 25 years and have always valued his advice.

    Thank you so much Dr. David!! I have dealt with sciatica numbness since September of 2020 three days after a chiropractor gave me an adjustment.. I have two bulging discs, lateral pelvic tilt and mild scoliosis. Your video seriously helped me. It was a game changer!!! I feel a slight difference and I've only tried this video once. I will continue to work on these muscles!! Your video made perfect sense!! Nothing out there is quite like this!!!

    Thank you so much, I've been in agony for over a year and was basically told by other PTs to do everything that you advise not to do. I've been doing the butt and lower abb exercises for 2 days, and I feel better already. I'm so glad I found your videos. I'm from Scotland, so there no chance of me visiting, but you've absolutely changed my life. Thank you so so much for making the videos and showing on the skeleton where the pain comes from. It makes more sense whilst visualusing if you can see it in your minds eye. 😊

GOD Bless You!

    I rarely comment on social media. But finding and watching your sciatica videos is the best thing that happened to me for a long time. I have been suffering for 3 years going through all the steps .. MRI, many PTs, injection, physio again.. nothing has helped as much as 1. stopping streching and 2. squeezing my glutes as often as possible following your exercises. I have been doing this for 6 weeks and see significant improvement. I still need to be more regular and also find a better solution for sleeping but definitely see the end of the tunnel. Squeezing and holding glutes feeks like I am taking off the pressure that was hurting the nerve.. I have been doing lots of other glutes exercises but only the sqeezing made the difference. A huge huge thanks

    I really love working out, but it has been impossible for me since I've started having sciatica pain. Tried psychal therapy and pilates and none of them were really effective only giving partial relief. Your exercises apparently are helping me with just a few attempts, that's why I'll keep working more on them. I felt the glutes tight in all of them, but I felt a little of the thighs on the 3rd one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I am 55 and have had several back surgeries with rods and screws and a cage to replace a L4,L5 disc removal in 2011. Thank you for your knowledge. I should have tried to repair the disc instead of having it removed. Had to relearned balance all over

    @gingerdye-schroeder377 9 месяцев назад

    I am 60 and have had sciatica for several years possibly from my spondylolisthesis. I agree with the other commentors 100%. PT many sessions , other youtube sites relating to sciatica but nothing about what you are suggesting and strengthening the butt muscles. After one day my pain down my leg is almost zero! I am at the beginner stage and only 7 days in but I never had one day before starting this that I didn't experience pain down my legs. I am only doing about 40 reps daily every other day but will continue stepping it up and advancing to the 3rd exercise. I get that a not so strong butt muscle won't hold the nerve in the position that it belongs in and that will cause pinching. Genius! Thank you so much. God sent my husband to this spot to answer prayer for my pain which I was seriously considering a surgery to rectify. Your wisdom helped me to avoid surgery!

  • @peterviljoen9435

    Hi Doc I am back I followed your advice for me the big difference is the glute strengthening exercises,very easy to fire the glutes deeply when you lay on a foam noodle….I went further and did the same on the inversion table,it easier to get a deep glute stretch….then ice for 15 minutes it worked like magic,pain 90% gone and this is day three! Thank you Doc you saved me 🙏🙏💕

    I watched your video to activate glutes and lower stomach. I think you nailed it as I have had severe sciatica. I had a bone spur removed L4 and L5 to open up the area in the spinal canal. I still have the same pain a week later. Glutes and sciatica rt side and some left and where the leg meets the butt. I have an old spondy l4 35 yrs ago due to a hit on my back but no back pain. Only lower. Ill work on those glutes and lower stomach activating and started now. Every hour and will let you know if this nasty pain when I put weight, or stand up hurts so much. Advil doesnt help. Got worse doing yoga. Im in Phx and wish I could come to your clinic! I sat for 23 yrs customer service job 8 to 10 hours a day. Retired now with the pain.

    Thank you so much for giving all the details to do these exercises correctly and what to watch out. I have been doing wrongly the figure 4 exercices etc by other PT.
    I have to admit by just squeezing my glutes while writing this comment, I can reach my sciatica nerve. Therefore my problem is really starting by reinforcing these muscles.
    Mille mercis pour ces exercices que je vais faire dans ma journée au travail devant mon écran. Je vais me mettre des pauses forcées dans la journée afin de faire ces petits exercices faciles.

    Am already doing better from sciatica by focusing on glute strengthening. I needed the warning to move, inactivity caused the sciatica in the first place. Great butt exercises, thank you for teaching in a down to earth, peaceful manner.

    Hi, thanks for posting. I've been having sciatica pain all day and evening so tried your exercises. They've really helped take the edge off so I'll keep doing them and hopefully get rid of it completely! Appreciate your help and time.

      Hey Tillymint1958! Glad you got some relief!
      We hope you can get long-term relief so it's not a recurring thing. Make sure you work on getter STRONGER!!! Especially in the abdominals and glutes. Those are the most common weak spots for people with recurring sciatica problems.

    2011 I had Anterior anthroplasty greatest surgery and speedy recovery. In 2017 I had a laminectomy cleaning nerve pathways. No hardware or fusion per my decision. Elevated My
    bilaterial sciatica and low back pain. I had bilateral stenosis in L4 and L5. My root nerve was so built up with I'll call it gunk forget the actual tissue but it caused my spinal fluid to leak and form cysts. The surgery was long term beneficial. Last September 2022 I had a lefthip austoplasty and it was a posterior approach and has been a problem from day 1. It landed me in rehab 18 days trying to walk again. After surgery I couldn't lift my foot to take a step. I needed more PT work but my insurance insurance rejected outpatient care. Now 8 months out I am still using a walker to try to keep from waddling like a duck. I have developed numbness and all kinds of nerve sensation in mostly my left leg but somewhat in my right foot mostly. It always feels half asleep. I didn't like my surgeon. And haven't been back since January. Recently I have pain in my buttocks and upper thigh. After watching your sciatica video I am pretty sure impingement is back. My pain is worse when I sit long periods of time or walk or stand. I have been sedentary for years. After my surgery I gained weight suddenly and to be honest feel like a complete mess. I can't take gabapaten. And my ibuprofen isn't working. As you said it won't help nerve pain. I don't know if I will ever get any better. My prosthesis feels fake. It is noticeably there. My other surgery the one done Anterior feels like me. I don't know where to even begin. Here in CA it takes months to see a specialist. I'm 70 and have Medicare Advantage. Really limits my options.

    Doc I started yesterday with the exercises, suffering with severe sciatica….pain suicidal stuff worked the glutes hard much improved today. I used a foam noodle to lay on along my spine and I found it very easy to activate the glutes only by doing that,maybe you can comment if that’s okay it is working for me!
    Thanks to you Doc I am almost human again ❤❤will keep you posted!

    I’ve been suffering for 6 months with sciatica. I know I have lateral stenosis from a C scan. I’ve just had a. MRI but haven’t got results yet.
    I’ve been following you our exercises for about 2 months, and also getting fascia treatments for my super tight hamstrings. Both have helped so much with the pain.
    My butt and legs have really improved, I don’t get the shooting pains down my legs, but my right leg on the outer side of my shin bone above my ankle hurts constantly. It feels bruised. Even when my right calf touches a chair while sitting, it sets that bruised pain feeling off.
    Can the sciatic nerve be inflamed at the bottom of a leg and not so much at the top?
