Worst 10 Mistakes People Make When Trying To Help Sciatica Pain
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2024
- Sciatica problems are complicated and confusing for people (even healthcare professionals) to treat.
The biggest challenge is that there are many causes of sciatica that can pile on top of each other. And the different causes can have different treatments that might need to change depending on the intensity of the sciatica problem.
So it’s not so straightforward. And you really need to think through what treatment you’re doing so that you can make sure it is truly helpful for you rather than harmful.
It’s not so black and white when answering the questions, “what treatment are good for sciatica?” and “what treatments are bad for sciatica?”
In this video, Dr. David tells you about 10 mistakes people make when trying to help sciatica pain.

I wish this guy was my Doctor. The whole series on sciatica are the best I've seen on here - thoughtful, easy to absorb, cautious. These have been so helpful to find my root problem - turns out I've been doing all the wrong things!
I want him to be my dr too.,i dont get the right help from doctors around here.
I agree. This doctor has so much great information. I've had severe sciatica for 5 years. My doctor's only worry about patients over dosing on pain meds. I refuse to take injections. No
way. I might try the implant for pain. At least do the 1 week trial. Good Luck everyone ❤
Been listening to him for months and trying everything daily, bought a SI belt no problem now 🤷🏼😉
Ok could you please show any particular exercise because I feel burning sensation below hip bone area of my left leg. I couldn't sleep turning on that side. Sometimes after exercise it becomes okay but sometimes not. Please Dr advice me what can I do and what is the exact exercise is applicable for me. irritates and
Please Dr show what type of exercise is applicable for me because I feel burning sensation below the hip area. I think I do wrong exercise.
I pray for everyone in this type of pain. I am only here becasue I am also experiencing this type of pain. Not fun. Havent had a proper sleep in 2 nights. This too shall pass.
I hope so ,
I am at night 10...😢
Stretching my daughter thought me I've been having very sharp pain can't even sleep for a while I usually sleep on the left side sciatica side.
So I started stretching almost in 2 days my pain is gone in the beginning was so much pain, if we don't stretch the tension in that area is unbearable "used or you'll loose it "
Me too. I am in excruciating pain and it’s got worse after 3 months. Seeing a physio at the end of April, earliest appointment, but also having acupuncture from tomorrow. On Tramadol, but still in pain.
I pray every day for 10 years, I can barely walk, I cry, I don’t take pills they only make u high, the pain in my legs to my feet is unbearable, I’m not the same person and then the PT was dumb and made everything worse!! Lord help me please 🙏🏻
I feel emotional everytime i read those comments saying that they have so much pain.I do understand how you feel, when i say to my friends or family that it hurts so much and it goes down to my legs and ankle. ..no one understand me.
I cried alone many times. .. im going to do your advice Dr.. i hope i get rid of it.thank you
You will playa! Look up bob and brad , cause of them I’m actually moving around my apartment with minimal pain , call a chiropractor if you can they can massage that pain and adjust your body , good luck dude
Yaa I know no 1 understand our pain it is so bad
Almost passed out from this pain today after going to an interview and sitting in a steel chair for 20 minutes. I made it home though thank God.
Very similar issue here, but it was three and a half weeks ago and I have to walk and carry heavy equiptment for work 6 days a week. It started with tightness in the lowback when standing up from a vent position, the an interview in a hard wooden chair for 5.5 hours. Killed me within an hour of leaving. This guy's lower about and gluten video just helped tremendously. I hope I e your pain lessens and you feel great soon
Oh my goodness...I am 67yr old female...been in excruciating pain for a few weeks with L4 & L5 sciatic pain. Sunday I became bedridden in unbearable pain. Dr pushed up meds. Today through gritted teeth, I took your advice, did the tummy and butt exercises. My family and I couldn't believe it. I an walking around clenching all over the show.😂 Bless you and HUGE thank you. So grateful. xxx
Hey Yasmina, we are so sorry to hear that you were having so much pain! :( We are so happy to hear that we were able to help you get going again! Keep up the good work and you should not have a problem with this again!
❤@@epmanualphysicaltherapy
I woke up on day in March 2023 in excruciating pain, I am still in pain May2023. Thank God for RUclips! Gifts like this video has been better for me than any Nuero Doctor. THANK YOU!!🙏🏽 ❤
It's 2024
I have been in life-halting pain with sciatica for 6 months. At this point I would move my whole family just to have you as a doc.
My P.T. guy has tried everything you said don't do.
This has been the MOST THOROUGH explanation (with a model representation) of information. Grateful for those in the health care profession who don't advocate medications as the 1st option. Very appreciative of this Doctor!!!❤
We need more people like him!!
Thank you very much for your very kind words! 🧡
The word medication isn't really accurate. It's pain relief only. Great video!
PT showed me a ridiculous fix for sciatica that actually WORKS! Lie on your stomach, have another person put their hands on your sacrum/lower waist. Move hands away from each other, one toward the head, one toward the feet, brushing along the body. PT did it lightly- my husband does it like it’s punishment. Feels good either way. Sounds stupid- works immediately. I’m an xray tech and nurse, my husband is a radiologist. We laughed right up until my pain quit. Now I have him ‘stretch me’ all the time. I have had herniated L5S1 for about 25 years; two microdiscectomy (2021, 2022) when I couldn’t stand the pain and didn’t yet know about the technique PT taught me.
I wish to all that sufferes good perfect health with pain and worries free AMEN
Thanks Dr 😁🤠
Been suffering for two weeks now. I was doing some stretches before we left for vacation. And nothing was helping. I got worse and worse. I went to the doctor and he prescribed prednisone muscle relaxer and hydrocodone. The only comfort I get is laying on my back with my knees, vent and pillows underneath I cannot walk I cannot stand, and when I’m in a spasm or flare, the only thing I can do is lay on my back and let everything calm down because the pain is so bad. Your exercise video did help me a lot and the one that felt the best was the rocking on hands and knees.
Your recommendation in another video about tightening the lower abs + glutes was the best overall help I've ever had.
Almost helped immediately for me. Never heard it before this gut. This dude is on point!
I hurt my back years ago, carrying a heavy desk down stairs, and extending myself too much. I had no inrsurance. I started walking daily, hour a day, and in 6 to 8 weeks the pain was pretty much gone. It occasonally comes back to me, but walking did wonders.
Through my couple bouts with this issue, I've read books on the topic and watched every single video I could find and eventually learned what works for ME. It's shocking how much bad information is out there -- sometimes even coming from your Doctor! So I appreciate you making this video to clear up some of the most common misconceptions I've heard time and time again. I wish I'd found it at the start of my journey and it would have made things a lot easier.
Amen!
Would you mind sharing what worked for you?
Hi there!! I have suffered with sciatica pain for years. Just never being totally pain free, but learning to live with it....active lifestyle, especially walking and hiking. I had an op L5, S1...herniated disk at age 39. I am 65 years old now, moved from a warm climate to UK and have been suffering tremendously...until now!!!! I have been doing your glute and abdominal excercises and today was the first day in weeks that I did not take anti inflammatories or pain killers!!!! I have watched numerous videos, doing the exercises you said one shouldn't. You are such a blessing and I am sooooo grateful to have found your site. Thank you so much for all the insightful info!!! Will be sharing it with others too. 😊
Hi Riana, We're sorry to hear about your struggles with sciatica pain over the years! 🥺 Dealing with sciatica pain can be relentless and challenging to deal with especially while trying to maintain an active lifestyle. It's great to hear that our videos and exercises have been helpful for you, and we're glad you found some relief.

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
Hi thank you for this video. I have been suffering from sciatica for 4 years now. It got worst last year after I had Mt baby. My problem now is I am walking on one side. My left side where the sciatica is worst seems to be shorter than the right when I walk and this is really painful. Please what can I do to improve this. My right has started being affected too. Thank you.
Amazing information. Thank you. Had a slip and fall accident and 2 months later still having problems.
Hi Dr. David, hope you’re having a nice summer vacation and staying cool, I hope. Be happy when you’re back making vids, you’re super helpful! Thank you for all you do. Hope to see you soon💛
The clear & concise information you have provided in this video are gems and helps to explain why my Sciatica has gotten worse!!! You are explaining in such a simplistic way, better than the doctors I’ve seen over the past year!
I watch all your shows in. I’m trying everything. I’ve had x-rays. They’re going to be doing ultrasound in three weeks or so. I’ve had the shots in the past but something bad is wrong. The shooting pain down my leg is terrible. I think you so much for you and your team for being there for me every day
I'm glad I found you. finally real tips and exercises that won't hurt. Thank You ❤
This is the most complete and thoroughly expressed expert view I heard so far. Saw many videos with remedies... nothing helped.
Hey there, we appreciate the kind words and support! Hopefully our content will be able to help you find some good results!
Oh my goodness I'm in tears! I've been doing exactly these stretches that irritates the nerves even more, thinking I was doing the right thing! 😢 the misinformation on the internet and ppl are devastating, i was feeling hopeless for a second......but knowing what I've learned here gives me new hope! Thank you ❤
Everything you said makes sense. Those exercises you mentioned were what PT gave me to. Here I am 17mos in with more painful glutes and hamstrings causing me to bend for. Thanks for info. I started engaging glutes and abdominal muscles yesterday after watching you for first time. Today I was able to stand up straight without pain for first time in 2 months.
The same thing happened to me! They gave me those exercises that made it way worse! Wtf?! Now I'm feeling better the next day also, after working glutes and lower abs!
What video is that, that helped you?
So the back bend with hands in the hip did he say was not good?
This is the best advice I’ve had on sciatica. I’ve been to many physios that have made my pain worse, one even viscously pinches all the way down my legs, she broke veins in my legs, my legs were black and blue. Most treatments you said, I’ve done. My pain is coming from a fractured disk in my back 15 years ago, it’s been pushed in and pressing on a nerve. I’ve been offered a 7 hour operation, and refused I’m 76 I’ll always have this pain, but exercise is the key. I follow your exercise, go to a seniors exercise class once a week, I do take pain killers. Thank you David 🙏 I find your videos are the very best.
Wendy, sorry to hear you have similar problem as I! Which pain killers work? I have had 6 months of Physical Therapy but made it worse. I have had 3 steroid shots at L 3/4 and L 5/6 and in pimaformis muscle but nothing has worked. I am over 60. It is now 4 years since I started seeing a orthopedic surgeon who advised me to do so, and still no relief. I have been given prednisone steroid meds before and tried Galapentin and Lyrica but could’ not stand the side affects! My pain is 8. - 10 about 100% of the time. Have to take a sleeping pill at night. Use ice and heating pad all day. I am working from home.
Thank you doctor, very helpful I will follow your exercises.
@@camillemousseI use Naproxin for inflammation, as it had the fewest side effects. It is not helping much with the pain and discomfort. What does help....massage! I was lucky to find a massage therapist (LMT) with a specialty: muscular medical practitioner (MMP). She can dig in deep, target tense muscles and free up bound nerves. This allows chiropractic adjustments to 'settle in'. This is definately a hurts-so-good treatment, but it is the only thing that has helped me. Hope you find some relief!
His explanations are soo good. Having trouble with sciatica for my lower back and legs and also spinal stenosis, I had steroid injections
which helped a whole lot. But this gentleman gives me a whole different outlook on my problem.
Sister please am having same issue with you please what did you do please
Wow , such excellent advice , explains a lot of what I've been going through , my physiotherapist is on the right track according to your videos .
I love this Dr. He's truly informative and helps me with my S1 pain.
I think you’ve given the best advise than other doctors have
This is the reason the internet was invented. Thanks for getting this advice out to us for good.
Wow! I'm in the southeast corner of Idaho, and all the doctors & those they've sent me to over the last 10+ years have done exactly what this man has said NOT to do! Lots of people doing videos here on RUclips doing the same thing! Thank goodness this video popped up in my feed .. divine timing right there! Yes, I've been on meds but I did injections for years..now the stenosis or something my doctor did the last time hurt so bad I was literally bawling my eyes out by the time I left! I refused to keep doing them after that! I've been dealing with many other structural issues causing shifting for years.. both hips replaced in the summer of 2016, now a foot with 3 bones in the middle causing me to walk on the inside of it. In turn causing the knee to twist in & all kinds of issues. I am always in terrible pain and I really don't believe the people I've been seeing anymore. They've had years to help me heal, get stronger & better.. yet here I am fighting myself and mustering all my energy just to shower or a simple chore per day.. then I'm really hurting & down for a few days before I can do anything again. I am thankful for people like this guy coming out with good information and help. Thank you, sir , for being so kind hearted & generous and sharing this information! 🙏💜
I hope that you are feeling better now, Jennifer! I know how difficult it is to carry on when there are so many roadblocks. Setbacks can be very depressing too, and I hope that you are now on the right track 👣.
Listening to these videos has given me hope that there is a way out of this maze of constant pain. It is sad to know that there are so many people in there with me...
I am in Idaho as well. I am watching this video and no longer wondering why I'm not progressing as I would like. I have sciatica in my PT has me doing hamstring stretches, applying pressure with a hard ball, and he uses vibration in the office. 😢
From someone who has suffered from sciatica from many years, this is by far the best information video I have ever come across.
Thanks for all the useful info that no doctors and PT have ever being able to give me!
You are very welcome Arrian! We are glad we were able to help and we have a lot more content available for sciatica if you would like to learn more. Here is a link to our playlist for sciatica:

Agreed-- this is useful! I do wonder, however, if doing something like downward-facing dog in yoga would worsen my sciatica, which is due to the nerve being pinched by traumatic spondylolisthesis.
Love your videos! I tried your walking videos for knee pain . It worked! Thank you!
The first thing I do when I experience sciatica is constantly have the intention of pulling my naval (bellybutton) to the spine. This has the effect of strengthening the muscles and taking tension away from the back. This especially helps when walking.
Thanks for sharing
I accidentally found this out today when I tried a better posture pulling my hips in by sucking in my stomach. I was starting to watch this video and tried better posture alignment and badda-bing, instant relief! It’s not gone but I can feel pressure and pain relief;)
@@ArmintaHodges happy baby pose. Lay on your back pull your knees to your chest having the intention of lifting you butt and coccyx off of the floor. Hold for 15 seconds. Then try to hold your feet with your hands. I grab the outside of each foot, while still having the same intention - straighten the legs a little pulling with your hands again the intention is to increase the gap from the ground of your lower back really opening the space at those lowest vertebrae that snags the nerve pull the feet over the head stretch the legs ands maintain tension for a count of 60 if you can slowly release and let go. Relax and then slowly get up and see how that feels. If you have nerve entrapment you should feel almost immediate relief. Repeat as necessary.
@@sutters7251 Are you a doctor or a PT?
He specifically says in one of his videos that when it’s raging walking is not good for the nerve .
@sutters7251 unfortunately alot of people arenot that flexible, my feet don't go over my head like that and if I attempted that it would definitely further my pain. I agree though about bringing the leg up to chest height and stretching out the leg as that does help my sciatic nerve but I need the other foot on the floor to balance my body while I do that. Like he said what helps one won't necessarily help another 😊
Yes!! Excellent presentation, Dr. Middaugh.
Finally a doctor who recommends surgery last, not first.
Thank you! I wish you were my health practioner too! I have had a double hip replacement also a knee that was operated 4 x's from time to time I have sciatica pain and a herniated disk! Glad to have found yor channel!
There you are again...glad you are there to help so many of us. You've helped me and many! 😅
Watching yet another video of yours and seriously impressed. So much information and addressing some of the real issues and potentials. Love that you just dive in no youtubey intros and your voice is very pleasant to listen to. I'm from the UK and I appreciate anon-screechy voice.
Thanks for your professional advice 👍
Thank you so much Dr. David for your excellent advice. I am doing some of the exercises you recommended in another video and actually notice some improvement!!! Many of the exercises you have mentioned here as the ones we shouldn't be doing are exactly what I was doing daily for several months. There is so much terrible advice online that can even be dangerous to follow. I'm just sorry I didn't find this series before. I'm so grateful for your wonderful help!!!
I had a spasmed piriformis as well as a misalignment in my SI joint. It was 8 months of hell before I started watching these videos for advice! My doctors just kept throwing painkillers at me. That’s the NHS for ya
Lucky you got pain killers.. it was 18 months of begging for me and had to move states to get a constant supply.. I have stenosis and failed surgery so i think my sciatica is just permanent.
Thanks so much for this video. I learned a lot.
Thank you for your help,much appreciated
Thank you! This really helps 👍
Great information, thank you
I'm so grateful for coming across this video. Thank you so much for this good advice! I've had a sciatica flare up for months and doing exercises that is not good for it, mostly recommended from other RUclips videos.

Thank you for this video. I had knee replacement surgery 6 weeks ago and developed sciatica from resting in the recliner too long. It’s horrific. The pain is so intense in the morning that I’m literally screaming while I’m trying to get to the bathroom. It hurts all the time, but mornings are the worst. I have a PT evaluation this week and it seems there isn’t a one size fits all approach to this problem. Thanks to this video, I have some insight on what and what not to do when she sets up a treatment plan for me.
Thank you. One of the most practical sites and advice that really works

Thank you Dr Dave, you mentioned knowing the difference between a muscle & a nerve. Would really appreciate a video explaining how to differentiate. I'm finding your videos very helpful. Thank you for your generous sharing

Very good advice thank you very much
What a fantastic talk Dr. E.P. Manual. You have described all, and more, of what I have discovered too, with the help of my Intuition and with some medical knowledge together with listening to my back and leg pain after falling off a ladder onto concrete 3 years ago. Not just breaking but "exploding" my upper thigh bone. So good to listen to all your advice covering treatment for sciatica. So very much needed to hear you. Thank you. I shall certainly follow your advice on what I wasn't sure of. ❤
Awesome! Really, really well explained thank you so very much. 😊
Great, thank you!
You explain in detail, very well.love it .. wish you were my doctor.
Very helpful thankyou 😊
important to hear. thank you for this
Oh, thank you so much! I believe you are spot on.
You are very welcome, Robert! Glad you found this helpful!
what really helped me was using red LED therapy on my lower back 30 min a day for two weeks and it completely got rid of the pain for months. And when it comes back I just repeat the LED THERAPY AGAIN For two weeks and its gone for another two months. I have being doing this for 8 years now. I love it.

Three years ago I had a dance injury which has now developed into a sciatic issue. It suddenly worsened significantly over the past year. It’s so confusing because when one issue resolves the pain moves to another area. I can only describe my situation as feeling like I need to learn to walk again. The leg which has sciatic pain is constantly sore and recently the knee has become very weak and unsteady. My situation is very scary, but this video seems to explain why my coordination is so off. I want to avoid surgery, so thank you for putting me on the right track. I will watch your videos and try to find right help in the UK.
Mine moved from right to left and it’s agony hardly walk . Strong pain killers but still bad . Yes it’s worrying thinking it’s not ever going to get better

Yikes I've been doing all the things he mentions not to do. Thank you for this very helpful video!
Thank you!
sciatica is something I dont want people younger than me messing with.. but your young you are pretty smart. when they make a devise that can make you feel my pain then the medical world will change.. but i can learn from you alot
Thank very much. Everything makes sense to my case. I think my obsession with yoga seems to have aggravated the problem.
Yeah, I have a new right hip and new knee on the right side. I think I’m off balance that’s why I think it’s the sciatic off-balance. Somethings wrong some thing bad really seems like it is I’ve never felt something like this hurt ever. Thank you again for being there. Usually I hear you say that your clients some of them get healed without surgery. Fingers crossed. I’m doing everything you say.
These are great informative videos thank you!!!!

Dr. Emmanuel… I’m so glad I came across your video and you explained the sciatica issue so well I will definitely give your method a try. I recently had stem cell therapy to treat my left side sciatica pain
But after the treatment for some reasons the sciatica pain transferred from left side to the right side and causes me so many sleepless night… so the doctor recommend the PRP treatment, I would really appreciate your professional opinion on this. Thank you so much!
Excellent best advice I've heard cutting through the crap😊

One of your videos helped me with knee pain a couple of years ago...
...I looked up sciatica relief for an older coworker. I was helping her to her car and she said "it's my sciatic" ...I heard of sciatica before, but didn't really know what part of the body it effect.
I'm going to write down this title & hope she check it out. Or, maybe even reach out to you! She's an older lady. A lot times older people don't want to try anything they don't know nothing about.
Thanks Doc!!!

I will no longer listen or to any other doctor. Everything you said are true. You explain it very well. You really have the heart to your patient you really care for them. You want them to be cured. More power and mote videos for sciatica.
I must say I'm impressed because he Is telling the truth because sometimes it works for certain people, all people are different.
This is very good information. Injections did help me because I was unable to sit after getting a massage.
I was massaging my buttocks on the outside and BOOM I hit the nerve, the pain shot right down my leg and made my shin area ache like hell. I no longer massage and just stretch. In a sitting position I cross my affected leg over my knee and gentle lean forward, there's more stretches but this one is 👌
Thanks. Drs see a great healthcare plan and go to surgery right away.
Great info!!!
