Hamstring Tightness Vs Sciatica
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The sciatic nerve runs down the back of the leg and supplies the hamstring muscles. Because of the nerve's function and location, often hamstring issues are misdiagnosed as a muscle issue and not a nerve issue.

Hi guys! I'm very excited to be back and making videos again:) For those of you asking, the Derma Edge link is
www.drkristieennis.com/derma-edge (it's also in the description) and the link for the hip flexor video is at 9:28 in the video on the top of the screen:)
Link doesn't work.
@@garysloan1660 I’m sorry! I just changed my website and I’m working on getting the Derma edge portion to back to the original. Right now, it’s www.drkristieennis.com/dermaedge
We missed you Dr.Kristie, great to see you back!!!👍
Thanks so much! It’s good to be back:)
This video is for me. Thank you Dr. Ennis ❤
this video is for many of us
Where can you order that ? Please let me know
Thanks
You are very welcome!
Good to see back Doc.
Thank you:)
Hey doc looking refreshed!!!!!! Welcome back much love from Greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Thanks so much!
Good evening Dr. Kristie - great to see you're back and continuing to share your excellent healing videos.
One of your best videos ever. And I can attest I’ve seem almost all of them and all are great. I’m so happy you’re back and full of your usual enthusiasm
Thank you so much!!
Such an educational video! This is great stuff. Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building meal plan from them and I love it.
Thank you! That is not one I am familiar with.
thank you Dr. Kristie, ive been speculating for a week now what is going on with the back of my thigh and its clear now that i have a pulled hamstring after watching this video. now i can work on healing it better!
thank you- very helpful. your personality is super adorable.
We learn so much through your knowledge thank you for sharing! I never knew about this nerve and feel fully relaxed now after the exercise
You are welcome and I’m glad you are feeling relaxed!
Great to see a new video from you. Your demonstrations are clear, simple and remarkably effective. When my gym closed 2 years ago, I got pretty sedentary; you've been critical in helping me regain strength and flexibility. Bravo!
Thank you so much and I’m so glad I can help out:)
I've had a chronic sciatic pain for the past 15 years. I'm now 72 (retired). The only thing that has worked consistently, over time, for me... is to keep my core muscles and legs lean and fit. Especially my abs, glutes, and hamstrings. Just today, I walked over 17,000 steps (I wear a step counter). That's like seven miles for me. I average 5 miles a day. Everyday. I also did push-ups, planks, deep knee bends, sit-ups, and more. Today my Sciatic Pain is about a 2 on a 10 point scale. About low-normal. The pain rarely gets above 3 unless I neglect my steps and exercises for 3 or 4 days. Laying around, and "resting," only makes the pain worse. My man cave looks like a jock's gym with giant tv's.

I've actually tried every single sciatic nerve physical therapy there is. You are exactly correct, special stretching, massaging, and Bob and Brad type sciatic gizmo's don't work (for me) for sciatic pain. What works is being active and and Lean, Fit, and Healthy. I also like sleeping in a very cold 65F bedroom with blankets and my sciatic leg out of the covers. In the morning, I like to loosen up with a heat; a very hot, long, morning shower. Some fine day, I'll be dead, and the coroner autopsy guy will say, "Man this old guy sure has great muscles."

Thank you for sharing! Keep up the good work with your strengthening:)
Thanks Dr. Kristie, That’s what I have been battling for the last two weeks, after my routine basketball last Saturday I felt my right leg hamstring was tight. After watching your video; thanks for that chart it was helpful to see what you are talking about, I was trying to determine if it’s had a sciatica or hamstring.
So far I’m using the tennis ball. I will try everything you showed, you are the best of all the videos I looked at on YT.🙏 I’ll be 72 in December. Might have to ease off basketball for a while.
Thank you. I have been trying to figure out what's wrong.
Holy cow! I have thought for YEARS that I just had incredibly tight hamstrings. I've had one sciatica attack a few years ago but generally do not have pain, just tightness. I've been trying to be able to touch my toes by strengthening and lengthening my hamstrings to no avail.
Hope this can help out:)
Welcome back! I was also a UVM swimmer but way before you were there (graduated in 1982 and coached the women's team for the 82-83 season). My brother and mother live in the Lakes Region (I assume you're in that area....). My brother lives across L. Waukewan from where you did one of your videos from early summer. I settled in Keene after living in Burlington for quite a while. Had a real bad sciatica attack earlier this year caused by 1. significant osteoarthritis in the sacral spine and 2. very poor alignment in my right leg caused by severe degradation of lateral cartilage in the knee. I figured out (by trial and error mostly) that it was a nerve issue rather than a muscle issue using some of the exercises in your video. Sure wish I had seen it back then!
Thank you Dr Kristie! I have lower back issues for many years. This was a great video and taught me a lot.
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful:)
Hey stranger; welcome back! We were getting worried about you since it has been so long since you posted a video.
Thank you! I was pretty sick for a while there.
Glad you're back!
Thank you!
When I try to stretch my hamstrings, I tend to have nerve pain, especially if my foot is pulled in. I don’t have nerve pain other than when I am stretching. I have a similar issue in my arms at times.
Have you ever had anyone see improvement through “nerve flossing”? For me, like you said, it is very easy to just irritate the nerves when I try to stretch. I’m willing to put in the work if nerve flossing works, but if it doesn’t, I guess I just need to love with it and accept it.
Thank you for this video! I've been bothered by pain in my right hamstring for about a week now, and doing the first 2 tests made me realise that its a nerve problem! A question: for all the treatment excercises you showed, will doing then multiple times a day, say 3-4 bring more benefit? Or should I stick to 1-2 times a day
such bad sciatica i could barley move around at all today. Severe pain
I have sciatic pain on both legs to the big toe on the right side and the foot on the left side. I’m so tight that I can’t even sit on the floor to play a board game. I could use your help.
Thanks for this video Dr. I avidly do crossfit and I have felt this what I determined to be sciatica issue from the exercises that you provide in the video. Being a former baseball player who has almost torn his hamstring before, I always thought this was not the hamstring. It just simply has not gone away and it is almost a year. I am going to try your stretch of 8 to 10 reps twice a day and hope that corrects it. Is there a period of time that I should use as a gouge to see improvement?
beautiful 😍Doctor
Hips back legs. Ugh! I keep the stretching going daily.
Doc I have tension and stiffness at the base of my skull stress at work....help!
Oh yuck:( I often take 2 tennis balls when I’m at work (or my neck pillow/traction) and lie on top at the base of my skull and do gentle head movements.
@@drkristieennis Thank you so much! I knew you would know what to do.
Good Morning Doc.
You got anything for a sagging under the jaw exercise ?
Thanks
I’m sorry:( I don’t think I do.
Hi can I ask u, when PT ask me to lift legs in certain ways at the time I’ll get a nerve pain sometimes but most of time it hurts the day after and my glue muscles hurt also if I’m sitting down lots please help 😢
I've been going to therapy for this problem right now. And there is numbness and tingling.
Hope therapy is helping!
Where is link for hip flexors?
Sorry about that! It’s at 9:28 in the video. There will be a card that pops up in the upper right.
What if the tension also runs up the back ?
That may be muscle compensation or possibly a disc or other issue. It would be a good idea to have this looked at in person.
