I had lower back pain and sciatica for almost 3 years. Until I found a way to heal my lower back pain and sciatica once and for all. I do decompression exercises using monkey bar. Basically, I just hang on the monkey bar and gently twist my hips and gently swing from side to side. I'm now free from lower back pain and sciatica.

I'm a physiotherapist. All of the things you say are completely true. MRI just scares people and makes their pain worse because of fear and stress. Most people will get better by exercising and having hope. I saw these in my patients. You're great 👌👌 Continue your good work and keep us updated 👌👌

I have large L5-S1 herniated disc and L4-L5. Three years ago I had excruciating sciatica pain in my left leg. I couldn’t sit, lay or stand. It was horrible. I needed a walker and a wheelchair. I went for spinal decompression table at the chiropractor, and it helped a lot. Then I was OK for a few years. The disc can heal. Now it came back same problem. But now I know exactly what to do. You need at least 10 spinal decompression sessions before you feel a lot relief. 3x a week for the first few weeks. This brings back moist and blood flow to the disc and I use hot and cold ice packs on my disc. Heat for muscle spasms and the cold for inflammation. You have to alternate between those 2 during the day every 2 hours whenever you in pain. Take anti inflammatory. This will all make it heal faster. So a few weeks ago 2 days after my pain started again I went for spinal decompression immediately and the first week I felt a lot of improvement. Don’t wait and don’t lay too much. A combination of moving walking and laying is good. The spinal decompression table stretches the spine so it can open up your discs and bring back the moist nutrients and blood flow. A Disc is like a sponge. 🧽 And if you overweight like me weight loss will help also a lot with your spine. Every pound on the body equals 4 pounds of pressure on the spin. So if you lose 3lbs that’s 12lbs of pressure of your spine!

If you strengthen your core you can reduce about 60% of pain . I had a cousin with 2 disk her iations. He was doing 500 push ups a day . Well he was living very good . So streghteb your body .
My dad tells me the human body is stronger than what we think . Don’t smoke - eat low inflammation foods - drink lots of water and walk a lot

If you have a disc herniation for more than 2 months and the pain is getting worse slowly, for instance if you have pain even while lying down then definitely consider surgery as an option. A bulge of over 6mm will definitely have horrible symptoms. Don't sit there thinking it will get better simply because it can. The last thing you want is it the disc not getting resorbed and condition hasn't improved and you end up with permanent nerve damage.

I am eighty-six. Have walked miles for sixty years with my dogs. After losing them I do not walk so much. For around two months I have had buttock pain, going down my leg. Very painful to stand.but sitting ok. Have taken Parecetomal, no good. I have felt so very depressed but now certain days are not so bad
Tried a little walking and light gardening. Keeping my fingers crossed but still not convinced I will be ok.
However this positive video has really cheered me up and given me hope!
I do so wish we can all recover from this very painful condition.

Im 25 years old and got herniated disc with l4 l5 for 8 months now. Thank you so much for the video as this motivated to stay active as much as possible even if it hurts. This video also helped alot with my mental health as well!

[Mavarok]

This is one of the best channels for back pain sufferers! After 9 months my back pain has reduced from a 7 to a 2. Thank you very much for the positive attitude! Long and steady wins the race!

[Chimichanga]

I have 5 herniated discs and it’s been bad for like 6 years now. Starts to get better and then it comes back with the vengeance again. Pain is excruciating and I’m terrified to do the things I love like lifting and martial arts. Feel like I hardly have a life anymore. I’ve thrown my back out just putting my socks on, even sneezing too hard has done e it before. I exercise as much as I can, don’t smoke or drink, and have a better diet than 99% of the population. It only seems to get worse. Wish I could be one of those people who’s herniated discs have no symptoms

I've been suffering from lower back pain for almost 4 years, I feel tingling in my knee and sometimes I can't walk because my left foot loses strength and it becomes impossible to walk.

There one stretch that helps, lying with the back of the neck and sacral lumbar area on the floor and bringing the soles of your feet together, leaving your arms open and relaxed.

Tips:

Lie face down with a pillow under the abdominal area for 1 minute
Massage the sole of the foot on the affected side

Avoid sitting as much as possible, especially those who spend hours at the computer, working standing up at a lifting table helps a lot.

Sleep 8h

That makes sense. I do construction and had intense lower back pain for a long time. I went to a dr and they said i had a bulging disk in my lower back. They gave me some injections and it helped a bit but they said they may have to operate if it continues to hurt. I started exploring some self massage methods for trigger points. I found some really tight trigger points near my tail bone and in my glutes. I proceed to massage the areas for a few weeks breaking down the muscle knots and regained most of my mobility and the pain is very faint. It took me a couple of years to figure that out, but it is much better now, and I'll continue to work in it.

Wow! I wish scared people with disc herniation would watch this video. It is the same thing I tell people I come across with such problem. In fact, I HAD 4 herniated discs and avoided surgery because I found a therapist who PUMPED me up talking to me like you are right now. 5 years after, I learned to manage my back problem over the years. My back is stable and I can function 90 % normal. Just wonderful! Thank you for this MAGNIFICENT video. Blessings!!!

Movements that I use to rehydrate my discs and make my spine move are ...

1) Short-range (incomplete) squats : I kind of '' bounce '' quickly with moderate pressure with my feet staying on the floor
2) Moving my upper body from side to side while bending the spine a little (so when I move to the right side, my left leg and foot leave the floor and I bend my spine a bit to the right).

Walking can make my sciatic nerve symptoms worse while walking, but helps me sit longer after. taking the walk.

Sometimes but rarely, I get discogenic pain or typical muscular low back pain.

Like you said, getting your spine to be used to doing flexion again (like when sitting) has helped me a lot when it comes to being able to sit longer. I can't still sit as long as I used to throughout the day (I can't run either because it makes my sciatic nerve too sensitive), but it's much better than it was.

Great video btw.

[macbourne]

This is single handedly to best disc bulge video on the internet. This is the first evidence based, non biased video on this subject I have seen. Thank you.

As a 44-year-old individual, I am experiencing debilitating pain from a pinched nerve caused by a herniated disc two of them, which affects me continuously, day and night, and hinders my ability to perform everyday tasks such as sitting, lying on my side, or walking for long durations.

[bigsouthstrength]

I got injured in the military overseas 20 years ago. I've been dealing with chronic low back pain since. Ive had multiple MRIs from the military. Three lower discs deterioration and bulging. They've done the nurve burning several times (doesn't work anymore) injections for eight or so years (doesn't work anymore) I refuses opioids because in the beginning they didn't work I didn't want the addiction. Military prescribed everything with NSAIDs in it. Now I suffer from long term stomach issues and ulcers. Thanks for the good information because everything the military gave me was wrong lol.

[richbrett]

Hi i am an Osteopath of about 25 years and agree with just about everything you say - very good information, great work.

[DvNN]

You give me a hope to recover. I have a herniated disc bulged L4-L5 and I can’t walk right. So I’m doing exercises and I’m putting hot at night and ice at morning, I’m very frustrated, because I want to continue with my normal life. 😢😢 I have just 2 weeks trying to recover but it’s hard to wait a lot time 😭😭😭 I need a miracle. 🙏

Hi, am a college student from chile, two weeks ago I hurt myself in the gym and was diagnosed with sciatica due to a minor disc herniation, and was going crazy about how this would affect me on the long term, but content like this calms me down a lot and actually helps to focus way less on the pain which is quite helpful, so thanks a los for your content, it informs people and literally helps feeling better emotionally and even fiscally in a way. 😊
