Hi Doctor and what exercises for Forestier disease . Problems neck all c niveaus also in my upper and under back facetartrose everywhere. Its very hard to live with
i have no words to describe how happy i am , haha. i was struggling for weeks, never mind few months if i recall and man it was such a pain in the ass, i couldn't sit on chair for few minutes, i couldn't tilt my head down, i couldn't look left nor right, and yesterday, i tried the sleeping method, it did feel uncomfortable, and little pain? while i was laying down, but i slept like a baby, when i woke up, the pain was drastically reduced. my sincere thankyou , i feel at peace.
Hi Jon, sleeping on my back with no pillow just a thin towel roll under my neck has been a great help for relief from the bone spurs in my neck, also a fairly flat pillow under the towel roll. I had two cushions under my knees and pillows at each side for my arms. I’ve had four night in a row now without the nerve pain going down my arms. Thank you, you are doing great work with these videos and they are very appreciated!😊
I had a bad experience with this orthopedic pillow. The problem was that you need to sleep on the thin side during sleep on the back and for sleeping on the side you need the thick side of pillow. And I sleep in different position during the night. When I was using this pillow for a years, instead fof feel refreshed I woke up with neck pain very often. And didn't understand why because all chiropractors recommends it for good health as you. When I tried to common thin pillow its feels so much better for spine and neck. I don't have so much headache anymore neither neck pain. So I think this pillow is too high for normal position and oposite put your head up as well like a thick pillow. Roll pillow seems better.
Thank you , thank you, thank you! You have helped me so much. That cervical pillow, and the way to use it. I will be forever grateful to you Dear Doctor Saunders.! Regards Jana
Thank you for this video. I have this problem and in addition I have a previous injury to my rotator cuff on the same side. So no side sleep at all because the lying on the unaffected side immediately makes the right side go numb, dead asleep. Lying on my back very long and the left side of my neck causes numbness in my ear, top of head, and face. My bed is very cushiony so most times I don't use a pillow at all. I have been doing heavy lifting and labor jobs for 25 years so I think it's all catching up with me.
It's on my left shoulder. It's giving me a pulsating headache at the left side back of my head. It radiates through the left arm at times. The left side of my face has a weird sensation like numbess. I have an appointment with a doctor soon. I've been doing some of your exercises you've provided, so thank you.
Thanks so much for this! Ive recently pulled or pinched nmmy nerves on my right hand casuung numbness and tingling for 1.5 weeks which led to neck pain. Per mri, i have a trace bulge at c4-c5. However the numbness has my back pain along with shoulder. I have had numbnes in my right side of face that would last the whole day unless i take meds. Or rest on my cervical pillow which helps to release that numbness. Thanks so much for this!
Subbed and liked :), since i've struggle with these pains since many years - had to find my way - tricks to make it better, they are exactly how you explain them :) so i believe in you ! thank you from Belgium
I have had to sleep sitting up due to vertigo ( virus?)😵💫which has put strain on my neck instigating prior cervicogenic dizziness. Sleeping is foundational to heal.
If you haven't already, check to make sure your vertigo isn't BPPV. If it is it has an easy cure that you can even do at home. My grandmother had it and it does work if this is what you have. canalith repositioning procedure and the Lempert roll are the correction procedures for BPPV.
I went to see a physical therapist to do my back surgery and he told me after one session how much my pain would go away. It's normal for me to do exercises at home as well.
I suffer from vertigo. How do I do neck stretches that will relieve my neck pain, but NOT trigger my vertigo? When lying on my back, I cannot lift my head up due to neck pain. A week ago, I woke up just fine and as the day progressed, my neck became painful and stiff. I don’t know why and after a week, it has not gotten any better. Please share a video that addresses this need. Thank you!
That is a very tough question, as it will depend on what positions trigger your vertigo/dizziness and then choosing the right exercises for your condition. It may be best to get some professional help for your particular case. Best wishes.
Search Carol Foster MD, Vertigo Treatment Oct 11 ten years ago. I've shared this with so so many people. If you neck need alignment Seek assistance with that the video works even if the neck is out of alignment. The more it is the less it is helpful. When the neck is In alignment the vertigo stays away. Do the vertigo video twice the same day . Am/pm life changer. If you don't see a chiropractor, see an osteopath they are outstanding and gentle
I've been facing a sharp pain on my mid thumb area and the radial scapular area. Both are annoying in their own way, while the thumb pain restricts me from my day to day tasks such as pinching my toothpaste or opening a ziplock the back pain makes is hard to sit or sleep, making me want to cry. Now the thumb pain has proceeded to the index finger too. I will try these techniques and I really hope they work. Do let me know if I should also go for some release therapy to my physiotherapist (radiation, ultrasound etc.) Thanks!
Great info! Question? How should I sleep on adjustable bed with head adjusted up for acid reflux? I have shoulder and neck pain and don’t know what I am doing wrong??? Maybe no pillow?
Hi Dr Jon, I recently diagnosed with C6 and C7 Cervical Radiculopathy and I am struggling what are the best therapy I can do to revert my condition apart from having the surgery. When I follow your stretch/traction exercise I feel pain on my shoulder blade and the numbness feeling on my left arm still exists. Should I continue? Will the pain and numbness feeling gone one day? Thanks.
I am experiencing a pinched nerve in neck with pain in shoulder and down arm. Are there any types of exercise you should not do? Is it ok to run? Or to lift weights? Or what sort of exercise should be avoided? I have tried to run a couple times and it doesn’t seem to aggravate my symptoms and more than they already are.
I sleep on my couch which is fairly new but very squishy. It’s not ideal and I dislike the squish. I prefer a firm mattress or the floor. Would you recommend the floor over this couch? I currently have a pinched nerve in my neck and have tried many of these suggestions on my own just trying to find relief! All of my pillows are flat so I am going to try a rolled up thicker towel. Thank you for your video!
Can you please talk about exercises for people who have constant pain bc of klippel feil syndrom and at the same time, disk degenerative on other cervical bones?
@@drjonsaunders after having these symptoms for 2 months they just suddenly stopped without even doing any targeted exercises. Hopefully they don’t return 🤞
I also do the supine neck stretch off the end of the bed with a thick foam roller under my neck. I also found that hanging both my arms behind me off the end of the bed adds to the traction effect, and that seems to help. What is your opinion on this?
@@drjonsaunders I have a longstanding problem with my dorsal scapular nerve, as revealed in your informative video. Why do you have the comments turned off on that video?
I have pain on both arms triceps fingers wrists elbow what do I have do to relief or recover from it . I get this pain after workouts while in middle of a sleep and morning can’t sleep
I can’t fall asleep on one pillow. It’s not comfortable for me. So of course I have constant neck and upper back pain from sleeping on two pillows. I tried a cervical pillow but it was too low for my comfort. Any suggestions for anyone who likes to sleep in a higher position?
What about having something like an electric shock down the arm, pins and needles and numbness when in bed.....literally jumping up from sleep ? If I am on my left side then this happens and it takes about five mins to get normal sensation back in my arm. Thanks. PS: NO point trying to see a doctor, it is virtually impossible in Britain under the NHS to get to see a GO !
I have tried this pillow and have tried soft pillow too … nothing worked … I have stiff neck for over 6 months and at times feel a sharp pain which I think might be a pinched nerve .. I can’t sleep properly at night .. Any other treatment for pinched nerve pls suggest ???
@drjonsaunders please do a cervical spondylosis video for sleep and treatment. I have cut all sugar and stopped smoking and started Acupuncture. I have had enough of pain killers and injections. Regards from Japan.
Ok thanks for all the great information. Just order two different cervical pillows and the traction that helped me is the one that you are looking up at the ceiling. Wow that felt good. How often can I do it?
Question! 😊 I’m seeing my chiropractor for a pinched nerve in the brachial plexus. However, it is definitely coming from a massive knot at the top of my right shoulder, which has been there for a very long time, and progressively got worse, into this. It feels like concrete when trying to release it. Will a massage therapist be able to get the job done? Thank you! 😊
A massage in addition to your chiropractic would be your best bet, as the muscle is likely tight due to the nerve irritation. I hope you feel better soon!
Hello doc, plss i beg don't ignore this msg.. I'm in great depression due to my neck condition it has been started from lockdown and now it's been 4 years.. I got a pinched nerve in neck initially the pain and everything was in neck but now there's only burning sensation in neck but every tingling, numbness and weakness in my hand even to my small finger.. I'm only 18 year old and took an x ray scan and the doc told there's no problem but i didnt take mri.. My vit D, B levels are also good.. I'm hopeless sir could u pls tell me how to get rid of it.. I have seen your videos about pinched nerve stretches with our hand but when i do it i get a shooting pain throughout the hand and the source region(neck)when i stretch my hands so should i continue doing it although i feel pain anyway i feel relieved after doing those stretches so it's better to continue right??.. Lockdown days i used to watch phone in a bad posture that caused me this chronic condition.. And it's not going away.. I get intermittent weakness tingling every day especially when i hold even small objects like phone.. I sleep on my stomach but wake up with no problem but when i sleep on side i woke up with numb hands same in back sleeping as i unconsciously shift my position and put hand in a stressed position.. Is stomach sleeping so bad although it isn't causing me any problem in the morning.. My neck is kinda stretched when i stomach sleep but have no pain in morning.. When this condition started my neck makes cracking sounds while stretching it was unusual for me before.. I am doing pushups to strengthen the area.. Anyother exercise or videos or anything to suggest doc(I am correcting my posture) I'm desperate this is affecting my daily life😭.. Is this permanent and is surgery the only resort? Because internet says like that as my condition is for 4years. Pls help
It sounds like you are doing the right things...just keep following the nerve flossing in my other video and the sleeping tips in this video. Best wishes.
Hard to say, but it likely depends which nerves are irritated and what is causing them to be inflamed. If you found relief in that position best to keep at it...all the best!
Thankyou very much.Great information. I do have a question,if I sleep on my back and side,do I need to rotate the pillow all the time? Or do I pay attention to how often a favour the back compared to side and then apply your suggestion?
Hlw dr you have replied on my previous comment about Loss of cervical lordosis and about those creepy sounds coming from neck . But I want to know one more thing. I am doing exercises to get my curve back again. So I want to know if my curve gets back again will those sounds be gone ? And how much time it can take to restore the curve again?? What is your thought about it ? Just wanted to get an idea about time .
The length of time depends on severity, if there is any degeneration, etc...also to restore curve to the fullest extent possible you need to do traction and get mirror image adjustments from a corrective chiropractor. The sounds can improve in some cases when alignment improves. Best wishes.
Take a pillow from talalay latex!!! Very helpfull. Choose the richt hight. Small or medium is 11cm you also have one from 12- 13cm. Try-out it in the stoe
I feel relief in my neck, if I lay down on the side and the affected side of my neck (left) is up. However, I cannot find position for my left arm, in which it would not hurt. The pain in the arm eventually becomes so bad, I have to give up and lay on my back again. But I can´t fall asleep laying on my back, so I have been sleeping really badly lately.
Number one, i cant sleep with pillow between my legs. Number 2, i have a reflux problem, so have to sleep with my head up a bit high. Ive tried the rounded pillow, even though i tend to sleep on my stomach, (habit i picked up 50 years ago after having babies.) i start in right position, but end up on my stomach, and dont ask me where my head ends up😂 will try your method, but heres hoping.....
I’ve been sleeping with a pillow under my arm for support after shoulder surgery for years. I just can’t find a comfortable position though with my median nerve issue from my neck.
Anything is possible, I suggest following my advice in video, but you have to make sure your neck is supported properly and that you find the correct position, trying to minimize neck flexion. Best wishes.
Can i use a regular pillow for side sleeping? Since having my csection ive been suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck on the right side for almost a month on and off which causes slight nausea. Any advice would be greatly appreciate the discomfort often radiates to my back and shoulder.

Can you please make a video about cervical stenosis & spinal cord indentation?

In addition to pillows a towel can be rolled up to be a pillow, folded in lalf in long direction and then rolled should be pretty useful.

Hi doc, the prone one seems to be relieving, but the opposite one Supine seems to send the pain straight down my arm into my 3 fingers

Hard to say, but it likely depends which nerves are irritated and what is causing them to be inflamed. If you found relief in that position best to keep at it...all the best!
1st exercise was best for me...but pain is not going...
If it is persistent, please see your doctor. Best wishes.
Thankyou very much.Great information.
I do have a question,if I sleep on my back and side,do I need to rotate the pillow all the time?
Or do I pay attention to how often a favour the back compared to side and then apply your suggestion?
That is a great question - it can work both ways - I personally have trained myself into a habit of flipping the pillow when I change positions.
I am in excruciating pain.
I'm sorry to hear this, I hope you find my video helpful.
If you have vertigo, can that make you have neck pain, with tingling down the top of your arm?
Likely 2 different issues, but would need to examine you to know for certain - best wishes.
Dealing with the same thing did you figure anything out?
Is a pinch nerve forever?
In most cases, it will improve. Some will get to 100% recovery, some won't but keep at as most people can get great improvement. Best wishes.
Hlw dr you have replied on my previous comment about Loss of cervical lordosis and about those creepy sounds coming from neck . But I want to know one more thing. I am doing exercises to get my curve back again. So I want to know if my curve gets back again will those sounds be gone ? And how much time it can take to restore the curve again?? What is your thought about it ? Just wanted to get an idea about time .
The length of time depends on severity, if there is any degeneration, etc...also to restore curve to the fullest extent possible you need to do traction and get mirror image adjustments from a corrective chiropractor. The sounds can improve in some cases when alignment improves. Best wishes.
Sir I am studying in class 11 sir my aim to become a doctor but I am not good in study so please tell me that I will become a doctor??

Sleeping & pillow positions very helpful😊.
Prone neck stretch worked good for me😊,
supine stretch didn't.... instant tingling in fingers 😯.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you
You're welcome
Iam getting neck nurve pain during sleeping what should I do please suggest me
Im sleeping without any pillows
This video should help. Best wishes.
I feel relief in my neck, if I lay down on the side and the affected side of my neck (left) is up. However, I cannot find position for my left arm, in which it would not hurt. The pain in the arm eventually becomes so bad, I have to give up and lay on my back again. But I can´t fall asleep laying on my back, so I have been sleeping really badly lately.
Sorry to hear. :( Try this: ruclips.net/video/0krYvmCjVv4/видео.html
Number one, i cant sleep with pillow between my legs. Number 2, i have a reflux problem, so have to sleep with my head up a bit high. Ive tried the rounded pillow, even though i tend to sleep on my stomach, (habit i picked up 50 years ago after having babies.) i start in right position, but end up on my stomach, and dont ask me where my head ends up😂 will try your method, but heres hoping.....
what if our natural curve in the neck is backwards?
I’ve been sleeping with a pillow under my arm for support after shoulder surgery for years. I just can’t find a comfortable position though with my median nerve issue from my neck.
I'm sorry to hear that - please see my other sleep position videos to see if you can find something that works for you. Best wishes.
How do I sleep if the neck pain is on the right but my effected side is the left I know it sounds weird but that's what's happening to me
Anything is possible, I suggest following my advice in video, but you have to make sure your neck is supported properly and that you find the correct position, trying to minimize neck flexion. Best wishes.
If you have had surgery and developed a pinched nerve on lower disc which would be best
That will take some experimenting to find which one is most comfortable. Best wishes.
Is it normal to feel dizzy when i try the lying on my back position?
No, you should see a health care provider to get an appropriate diagnosis - best wishes.
Good luck seeing someone soon and when you do get in, they will just prescribe pills. Not actually fix the problem!
Can i use a regular pillow for side sleeping? Since having my csection ive been suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck on the right side for almost a month on and off which causes slight nausea. Any advice would be greatly appreciate the discomfort often radiates to my back and shoulder.
Yes a regular pillow can work.
How are you feeling now? How’s your pinched nerve?
Can’t stop looking at the dorky 🤓 glasses. .
I guess have your attention then! 🤓
Always that one asshol@
