I was a competitive gymnast and this man saved my life! I was in university and missing classes because getting out of bed was so painful and sitting in class was unbearable. I only saw him once and his recommendations and education turned my life around. I was flexion and extension intolerant and surgery to fuse L2 and L3 was recommended. Within 6 months of my first visit I was pain free with no surgery needed. It's been 12 years and I'm still pain free. My personal trainer is the one who told me about him.

Did you see him on your own, or solicit the insurance? If you saw him on your own, how long did it take to get an appointment? Did you contact him through his website. In other words did your trainer have direct contact, because that’s what I’d like to do. Again Thank you for responding to my comment! I’m happy your problem was resolved for you without surgery.

Omg! Thankyou for letting us know about this doctor. You are making me so anxious to see him. I am getting Chiro treatments for this doctor right now but it is not helping. I went for an adjustment on Monday and the doctor pulled something on my left side of my lower back that has me in pain. I had a sciatic nerve flared up 8 weeks ago I could not walk for 6 of those weeks. I just started to walk slowly. But my doctor sent me for Chiro treatment and now this pain happened and I can't walk properly again. I am so worried. Oh how I wish I could get to see this doctor. Can you please tell me where in Canada is he located. I can tell my daughter who is living there to go see him because she suffers with her feet problems as well.

I'm finally able to lift weights without fear of having to stop due to pain or wake up the next morning feeling even worse than normal! Thank you Dr. McGill for all the work to figure out how the back works and then sharing that info in a way that I can use to reduce and pretty much eliminate the pain I had and get back to feeling good again! I try and share it with all the people I know that have any back pain at all, which is most of the people I know. Some refuse to believe but they do so at their own loss!

I'm a retired RN and fitness instructor. Surely appreciate this Q&A session. Currently having a bout of sciatica nerve irritation. Working on stretches etc that I viewed on Bob and Brads Utube videos.. I've found that sitting esp with one leg crossed exaggerates my symptoms. Trying to retrain to keep both my feet on the floor and stay connected to both sitsbones. Using ice and heat alternately. Four visits to the chiropractor with only temporary results. My self treatment seems to be gradually working. Patience is key and pacing my urges to do spring yard work which is what got it started:)

@DNA350ppm 3 жыл бұрын

A good stretch for my life-long sciatica is standing on step, and with upright back and ahnd on support, alternate heel-drops, the other foot firmly with the whole sole supporting. I count slowly to 10-15 and move very cautiously. I do this both proactively and to release when in pain. Which stretch is your best?

Thank you Bob and Brad and Bob for having the interview. Wish I knew where to find someone like him in New Jersey. The orthopedics I went too both told me the same thing while looking on those looped up patient medical notes on the internet to give me the vague diagnosis of, "its arthritis". They did not even listen to me. When Dr. Stuart McGill said talked of the person who when walking their foot would buckle when led to performous syndrome and the need to devise a personal plan for the indiviudal is exactly what I need and am not getting. I had a lateral tibial plateau fracture that I healed on my own without intervention, and now this infrequent anomaly where my knee starts to freeze in pain until I manage to straighten it, and it usually corrects itself but not without soreness and inflammation targeted near the ulna and below the knee... now after some time an old herniated disc has reactivated up with the worst pain ever of burning, prickly pain, pins and needles, shooting pain, shocking pain, stabbing pain, throbbing pain, etc. that shoots around down my right front thigh and groin. I have been doing exercises on my own which help, but definitely would luv to find a "one visit" wonder Doctor.

Absolutely there is periformis syndrome---and you cured me! Have had bouts of sciatica in different places since injuring my back in college 50 years ago, and then again 15 years ago which resulted in laminectomy and discectomy. A movement on an x-ray table about 4 years ago (for my knee) caused a click in my back hip and a terrible bout of what I thought was sciatica again. Got myofascial release and PT. After watching many of our videos I began to wonder if it was Perifromis. Saw the video where you hung your leg off the side of the table, and got that click to release about 5 different times in a few months until the pain stopped altogether. That was about 2 years ago.

I have a bulging disk in my low back and I am flexion intolerant. Also, have a herniated and 2 bulging disks in my neck and spinal canal stenosis in my neck. I recently bought back mechanic and working through the big 3, taking micro walks, and focusing on keeping a neutral spine all the time. Honestly though, after reading the book, it makes a lot of sense, but now I am confused more than ever about my neck. Dr. McGill doesn't believe in stretching and found through his research that it can make low back issues worse. He talked about how he believes the McKenzie extension stretch for the low back can potentially make it worse, depending on your specific issue. If I am understanding Stuart McGill right, its better to keep a neutral spine and focus on stiffness vs stretching because by stretching, you can trigger a pain response and make your body more pain sensitive by your brain sending more pain receptors to the site of inflammation to have "more information." What is the Stuart McGill equivalent for the neck? Do you just focus on a neutral spine, no stretching, and neck strengthening exercises that keep a neutral spine?

@@kaylauderitz8950 I saw Dr. Cambridge, his top student. Dr. McGill's wife referred me to him. My back pain is mostly better. I got neck strengthening exercises from Dr. Cambridge and steadily working on those. By not stretching my neck and doing the strengthening exercises, I reduced my pain quickly by about 40%, but I am at a sort of plateau where I stopped improving. I'm still working through higher progressions of the neck exercises and having faith it will help.

Man I wish I had this Dr. when I was evaluated last year.The mask hid a lot of what my dr. was thinking and I know he had no clue what I was feeling. Except by my words. The first thing suggested was lyrica to treat the tingling in both legs. I immediately declined. (Went home an d saw the side affects & grateful I declined). Next was the spinal injection which changed the transitory tingling constant. Next they wanted to put in an implant. I said no thanks, I’m not in chronic pain, so I’m going with the diet path and eliminate sugar. (Should mention here that I was placed the previous year on a statin. One side affect of that drug was nerve damage). I stand most of my days since sitting makes things worse. It’s so hard to find competent doctors these days. I need to check out your book. Glad I discovered this interview. Thank you!

I’m watching your video as I’m having my back pain experience… I didn’t have anyone with me at time to help relieve my back pain. I just wanted to say most of what you explained makes so much sense. I appreciate your expertise. Thank you so much. I’ve taken some flexril and meloxicam to help alleviate my pain. I’m glad it’s subsided.

You asked him about nerve blocks. I'm to have 2 diagnostic blocks at C 5 thru C7. Then if those are successful then a medial nerve block in those areas. He didn't fully answer your question. I hoped he would because, HISTORY:Was in an accident 1 1/2 years ago, whiplash, headaches, shoulder surgery, PT, frozen shoulder. MRI for arm and hand nerve pain, Finally placed on Gabapentin, two steroid shots. Now on Cymbalta to help pending procedures. It's taken a big toll on my mental health living with pain. Dr McGill was so spot on about that when pain becomes chronic.

I've been having very very bad back for awhile now. Never got around to fix it. And it has been especially bad the last month or so. This came at the right time before I go see a specialist. When my spine/back is this painful, it causes more pain throughout the body. It is really bad. I thank the both of you for this info and also, Dr McGill. Hope I can be cured from this debilitating pain.

L3/L4 L4/L5 S1 herniated with sciatica down left leg. Using Bob and Toms channel along with McGills book Back Mechanic and McKenzie Method Treat Your Own Back I have successfully improved my condition to 70% over 120 days. You must commit to the excersises and understand you probably won't see immediate results. Also you must reprogram yourself in regard to posture. DONT GIVE UP. Stay mentally and physically strong. It's a long tough journey.
