It happens all the time in my physical therapy clinic.
I’ll be working with a patient on their bulged disc and sciatic nerve pain. They’ll be making good progress and seeing good improvement and then one day - WHAMMO - something happens that sets them back a couple of steps.
Have you ever had that happen? I know how awful it can be!
What many people don’t realize is that while it is vital that we DO THE RIGHT THINGS to take care of your back it is also crucial that we AVOID THE WRONG THINGS that would aggravate your pain and make it worse!
And that’s exactly what I wanted to share with you today! In this video I’ll share 5 of the most-common behaviors that are making your lower back/bulged disc pain worse, and then show you what you should be doing INSTEAD to avoid pain and continue to heal.
STOP MAKING THESE BULGED DISC MISTAKES!
SITTING WITH INCORRECT POSTURE
PERFORMING THE WRONG STRETCHES
PERFORMING THE WRONG CORE STRENGTH EXERCISES
WORKING OUT WITH THE WRONG EXERCISES
SLEEPING IN THE WRONG POSITION

I am 39 and have at least 2 disc's herniated in lower back for 6 years. I tried pain meds and PT about 4 different times. I received cortisone shots about 2 years ago and they worked enough that I had minimal pain in standing position, walking or occasional bending. But I can't do any exercise or even much stretching. The pool was one place I feel I can get some kind of physical activity. But I live in north so not east access all year. Try to use your time after shots to build up a core or lose a little weight it helped take some pressure off my lower spine. Lastly you DO NOT want to get into a habit of getting cortisone over and over again it's not healthy for u after many repeat shots. I'm not a doctor but look it up. Sorry for the grammar I am not a writer but good luck! I hope u find relief.

Luckily my walking isn't affected, so I'm able to walk uphill and shed some 10-15 lbs that way (I'm not very big)... it's a bulging disc at my L4-L5, and the start of stenosis :( So I've been upped pain medication and getting a consultation with a spine surgeon next week. I need the injection because I'm traveling to Greece for my honeymoon (I'm in Canada) and desperately need relief for the flights! The wait time for public sector is 3+ months, but luckily I can go private with my insurance. Have they given you any prognosis? Surgery?

My worst is sleeping. As a child I grew up in an old house without insulation. Mom would give us a quart jar filled with hot water to take to bed with us. I would sleep on my side curled up in a ball around that jar. In the morning the jar was really cold as Jack Frost painted beautiful designs on our windows. And even now I find myself especially in winter or in a stressful situation curling up in the ball to go to sleep. I need to make a couple pillows and put them under my knees and try to learn to sleep that way

just an amazing video! first of all - sleeping with the pillow between my legs in a slightly bent position helped tremendously. secondly, I find that under head pillow needs to be as thin as it can - the thicker it is the more lower spine pain it provokes. as for the gym exercises - RDLs and squats are a lower spine killer - I recently got way better until I decided to get back to the gym, did some squats and BAM - here I am - barely getting up. what really kills the lower spine are also back extensions when you are leaning towards. apparently, I was also stretching wrongly so thank you for making this video. cobras do help and I actually feel way better after them as well. This video literally changed my life (and I was soooo depressed due to this 2years long constant pain)

@@rachnavarshney1587 Thanks for asking. I am still sleeping like how I mentioned above and it really does help A LOT!

@EndziD 3 ай бұрын

btw my journey with herniated disc lasts for over a year. In that period I watched literally every PT video I could, visited every PT in person I could find, had tons of Tens, laser and all other methods of pain reliefs. And at some point it wasn't just the back but the periformis too... My method and what really made a difference is this (step 1 - lateral breathing): - positive outlook (I know it is hard - I was deeply depressed myself) - but ever since I started to realize that almost all of us have it and most of them are living through that - I realized we are not alone and it DOES get better. But we must never give up on trying/ =therapeutic massage - or similar to deep tissue massage - it DOES hurt when they do it to you. and you are a wreck in the next 5 days post massage But after that it does get significantly better. - excercizes that target core - all of its sides - front, side and BACK - meaning that back extensions on a bench in gym really helped relieve some pain. - not taking this too seriously - getting back to my old life (even though sitting is still an issue - but I am working towards expanding my capacity for it... hope this helps.

Hello, doctor! Thank you for this amazing video!! Question: Considering that I am dealing with sciatic pain (not very painful but enough to feel it when I do the wrong exercises), would I still be able to be an aerobic fitness instructor? I would love to hear your opinion on this. I am truly passionate about this and it would be a huge dissapointement for me to hear that I won't be able to practice it. I think if I would learn to do the exercies in the right way, there is a chance for me. MANY THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! I just subscribed to your channel. xx

@pianissimo369 8 ай бұрын

The stretches depend on how your disc is bulging. There are other equally qualified people on KZfaq telling you NOT to do the cobra and to do some of the other things this video recommends. I think the child's pose takes pressure off lower back and creates space, personally it helps me a lot. The cobra doesn't hurt me either but I feel like it's putting a lot of pressure on my spine so I'm not doing it. So much varying advice you have to listen to your body 👍

@eccrawford7759 6 ай бұрын

@@pianissimo369 great comment! I was thinking the same thing too. Some PT's say DO NOT do the child's pose like this one, others say the child pose is a game changer. I just bought an inversion table a week ago after hearing many rave reviews about them, but after a week I really haven't noticed any relief. Like you say I guess it varies from person to person. I just wonder how long I should go before I stop if I'm not getting any results.

Dr Jarrad, Thank you for creating this KZfaq channel and informing us of better ways to deal with our spinal issues. Back in June, I was hitting a heavy bag much too much for being out of shape and 65 years old. After trying PT for a few months, I then insisted on getting an MRI, which wound up showing a herniated disk. I’ve had very bad lower back pain and I'm going shortly for my 2nd procedure of a steroid injection on both sides. The first injection, which was done about 6 weeks ago helped by bringing the pain level down from a 9 to a 3. I work from home and sit in a chair for most of the day in the proper position that you have recommended, with a rolled-up small towel which has helped a lot! I will start using an alarm every hour to stand for a few minutes, as you recommended. My two questions are this: 1. I've known for quite some time that my sitting in the recliner makes my problem worse but I still continue to do it because at the end of the day I’m not in any pain while in the recliner. - Do you have any advice for a way to sit when I am not working at my desk and watching TV before bedtime? Should I just get into bed instead of the recliner at 8:00pm? 2. I just ordered a doorway bar so I can start hanging in the way you recommend. - What do you think of the Teeter Hang-up for inversion to 4:00? I have started doing your recommended exercises and stopped doing ones that could be aggravating the problem. I’ve already noticed an improvement! Thank you very much! All my best Dan

You are amazing, as a patient I became an expert of which exercises are bad and which ones are good. And you are one of very few people out there who knows it and showing us. Physiotherapists made me do things that put more pressure on my disc and I couldn't argue with a professional that this is not the right pose.

This is great stuff, Jared. I've had problems with this since I lifted a combo bass amplifier incorrectly back in the early 90s. Definitely compressed a disc and it has "popped out" 4 or 5 times since, leaving me nearly incapacitated each time. I've learned how to 'treat' it when this happens - a combination of Cobra pose, Tylenol/Ibuprofen, TENS and heat/cold. The trigger is almost always a result of reaching forward, bending and lifting something without remembering to steady with one hand or bend closer to the ground and lift with back straight. That's my biggest DON'T. Two things have kept me virtually pain-free otherwise: (1) a Workrite Ergonomic sit-to-stand (motorized) desk; and (2) The Five Tibetans - one can search these on KZfaq and find plenty of examples.

@laurafrazee3852 10 ай бұрын

I was doing everything right. Feeling so much better. Got the green light from dr. Wendy to return gently to normal life and cautioned that I’m still healing my sciatica and did not want me to end up with a ruptured disc. What I did not know is that sitting and the way I slept on my side was the worst possible things. I spent all day Friday doing a paint project sitting on the ground on a cozy, coupe for my grandson. Yesterday and today I feel as if I’m almost starting over. I’m on my stomach on the floor working on your suggestions as I type! And, I’ll have pillows between my knees tonight! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.

Thank your for the video! Nobody pays much attention to creating a video for us that had the bulge so cheers to you. I always wanted to find out what were the exercises that we should NOT do in the gym and here everything is correct. I would also add the prone leg curl where you lay on your stomach - this is also a nasty one. For me the worse is sitting in an office. Was three weeks on vacation, was active (eating ;) and swimming - did not feel a thing. Came to the office, and although I have a height-adjustable table felt the pain right away. I guess back to core strengthening!

Dr. Jared, very informative. I have lower back discomfort, though not sciatica (yet). Diagnosed as degenerative L4, 5 with age (70). I go to the gym 4 days a week on a split routine. I avoid squats and DL's, and instead do a seated leg press, though pinning the lower back to the seat to avoid rounding it there. I now do seated overhead DB presses (neutral grip, elbows forward). I do assisted pull ups and chin ups. I hang as you did, though for good shoulder health (Dr. Kirsch). What specifically should I be avoiding in the gym to avert exacerbating my lower back discomfort? Maybe you have a video already or could do one. Thanks. Your work is immensely helpful. Wish you were located nearby.

Sounds like you're on the right track, Thomas! Stenosis actually behaves a lot different than bulged disc problems... it typically responds better to flexion-based activities (the opposite of what I'm showing in this video!). Perhaps this will help you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNxjn66Bpt-ZY5c.html Oh and I just thought of another one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM2JatiItbXQgnU.html Good luck!

Most people don’t do it with proper form and keep their heads up. Your pelvis is supposed to stretch out from your torso I feel that every time I do dead hangs. When you go up to hang lift your head up while keep your shoulders relaxed then tilt forward and touch your chin to your chest while breathing in deep through your nose. It’ll decompress your entire spine.
