Neck Pain Release Stretch (How to Decompress Pinched Nerve) - Dr Mandell

Many doctors commonly overlook and misdiagnose this common condition worldwide. Doctors focus most of their attention to the spinal structures looking for herniated discs and pathological conditions in the spine. They commonly prescribe expensive diagnostic tests for unnecessary surgeries and procedures, raising your insurance premiums. The major nerves that come off the spine in the neck must first make its way between the anterior and medial scalenus muscles before it makes its way out to the body. Through chronic poor posture, poor ergonomics, forward head posture, rounded forward shoulders, these scalenus muscles are become shortened and contracted putting pressure on important and vital nerves. When these nerves are pinched and compressed, people will experience neck pain, mid back pain, chest pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, tingling, numbness and weakness.

Dr. Mandell, Thank you very much . I had issues with Cervical /pinched nerve with extreme pain on my shoulder, and pain radiating towards fingers for almost 6 Months. I did it just ONCE and am feeling 70% + relieved. Why we don't have many physicians like you around ? Thank you once again. God Bless You

I have had issues for years with arm pain and never had relief until I saw this video on the neck muscles. Thanks a million times

I have had issues with pinched nerves and neck pain since I was young, but I will not get surgery or take medicine. I am so glad I ran into your videos! I have only been doing this for a day or so and I already notice a difference by stretching and strengthening the neck and trap muscles. Thank you so much for your videos and your knowledge and expertise!

Oh. My. God. I've had what I thought was a neck and shoulder condition with crazy symptoms for over a year due to what I thought was because of the degenerative even bulging discs in my spine, bouncing from doctor to doctor and getting absolutely zero relief. This and the Trapezius muscle exercise have helped me immensely. Words are not enough to express my appreciation. Many blessings your way, Sir.

My neck pain eased as I did what you asked us to do and this has really set me off for a good weekend. Thanks a lot, Dr Mandell!

Best doctor on Youtube. Cuts through all the bullshit straight to the problem. I wonder if he knows how many people he's helped who are suffering and don't know where to turn.

This is a real doctor. No rush to surgery. Let's understand the problem first. Great video doc.

[elainemcpike]

I'm experiencing pain in my right shoulder, squeezing sensation and pain in my right bicep muscle, and pins and needles tingling down my right arm into my right thumb and fingers. Dr Mandell is describing exactly what I am experiencing. I'm going to do these stretching exercises starting today. This is the best information I've heard.

[melpangborn]

I've had migraines for several days now and even my home neck decompressor wasn't working. Did this exercise and my right side was screaming because the muscles were so tight, but got instant relief once I worked through the pain. Thank you!

[upalipannila]

We are very lucky that you are there to educate us about ailments we suffer from especially without going for surgery. God bless you.

[SuperDelrosso]

Amazing!!! This stretch minimized my arm pain instantly! I was in pain for more than 3 weeks but I didn't have time to visit my therapist. Thank you!!!
