Been suffering for three years with terrible neck pain and migraines. Seen all the Dr.s. Got the MRI, two of rheum in fact. Did three separate CT scans. Even did a full on Spinal tap. (I have great insurance through work) Severe pain, vision problems, concentration problems, vertigo and wonky ness in my head was debilitating. Even went to a NUCCA chiropractor. My neurologist thought I was crazy of faking it. My upper cervical guy said he had no clue. Found your channel a few weeks ago and you are the first person I have found who acknowledges my exact symptoms. Trying your exercises for a couple of weeks now and I feel much better. Almost starting to believe I can be normal again. Thank you. Keep it coming.

I will do this every morning. My aim is to get rid of this horrible light headedness. Thank you God Bless

Seeing over 130, 000 views this video has , I don’t feel so alone suffering from this Stay strong peeps

@5:57 for those who need to feel better right away... As always, thank you so much, Doc💪👍!

Lol, I'm here again doing your exercises! A long year passed without any cervical pain! Now having some tension I returned to them and feel immediate relaxation. Thanks a lot doctor Mandell . Blessings

I sat down and did the exercise that you stated and my headache went away. A new tool that is priceless.

Thank you so much! I have stiff neck after sleep very often. And the back of my skull feels sore that I had no idea how to relax that part, and you just posted this! Thank you again.

Countless thank-yous! This has been the most helpful exercise for me thus far. People really need to understand just how important the atlas is!!!!!!!

you are an amazing teacher, wealth of knowledge and truly 'god sent' my sincerest thankyou I am a personal trainer 40 yrs now and your tips I share with my clients and refer them to your sites... you have helped me immensely!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this valuable and beneficial slef-help method for relieving pain and restoring function of the Atlanto-Occipital Joint. I have suffered with pain in the C0 / C1 area for nearly 40 years, the chronic pain sufferer who can battle through until they can hopefully find the suite of techniques and tools that arm us to be best help ourselves and not let pain win. All the best.

Thank you Dr. Mandell. I tried a number of things today to relieve occipital discomfort. However, this technique worked to provide relief.

doc u saved my life i am feeling lighter now ...

Your tutorials are SO helpful to me and explains so much to me. Thank you so much.

I was suffering from occipital neuralgia for at least a month now, I stumbled with one of your video from the recommended lists, didn't know you have these video about head aches, occipital neuralgia etc. I am watching some of your video but about back pain exercise, for those who have sciatica or slipped disc. Anyway so I started to do some of the exercise you were showing the other video with the pencil, and now I'm beginning to feel better and now less pain. Amazing! A MILLION THANKS!!! ❤️

I have multiple issues with my neck and shoulders due to a car accident many years ago and have found this video very helpful, as are all the others I have seen thus far--thank you! I also appreciate the anatomical images to better understand the body parts, especially the soft tissues, involved.

Thank you for this remarkable technique. It is so simple to do yet it took much of my occipital headache away as well as the eye strain discomfort. Amazing !

thank you dr . mendell I had been suffering head pain I even undergo CT scan with normal result , with your explanation I am now enlightened

Dr Mandell, I have been following your videos for 2 years +. I have learned of the critical function of the occipital area of the spine. Although I am guilty of not performing your recommended stretches and movements everyday, as I should, when I do, they offer relief of my radiculopathy symptoms from the many spinal issues including stenosis and facet joint arthritis throughout the spine including dextrscoliosis at the lumbar portion. I've been to at least 6 Chiropractors, including a Upper Cervical chiro who administered very gentle movements to the Atlas and Axis verterbrea. After 15 to 20 sessions , I did not feel any real benefit. No one but you via your vids have propurted such valuable and useful info. I just tried these exercises as I was watching this video and felt immediate relief from the occipital tightness, neck pain and terrible stiffness into the temporal areas and to the bridge of my nose. You mention the cruciality of the Occipital area that affects so much, but you didn't mention that the tightness there also contributes to TMJ issues, sinus issues . I suffer with cervical disc herniations and extreme grinding , cricking, and cracking of the neck verterbrea, you can hear it across the room. Yes, lightheadedness, dizziness, unsteady balance as these conditions have progressed over the years. I'm 69 yo, and seeking solutions and relief from these issues after many , many years of suffering ..... All stemming from a 1 inch shorter right leg suffered from fractured right femur at age 15. Please keep up the good work . God Bless you for what you do for people.

Thank you MotivationalDoc. I'm suffering from severe headache, and pain from back of head all the way to index finger for more than 6 months. I found your channel and follow most of the exercises. It helps me a lot. And your explanation is very clear. Thank you for sharing information like this. God bless you.

Thank you Dr. Mandell. You are huge blessing to many people. I just try the exercise that you show on the video and it is working. I feel better after the exercise. May God use you for His glory.

Dr Mandell I've been so fortunate to find your videos! I'm sharing them with my kids. I already started doing them. God bless you for your interest to help others!

Dear Dr. I have been doing your exercise for eight months I am still hanging in there getting better I have been suffering from neck pain migraines front back all over my head you you’re a wonderful

Bless you for all the help you offer.

I've had dizzyness for 4 1/2 months . Went to the Physio who confirmed my right obliquus capitis inferior had something. Probably from my foward head position all day and looking at my tablet on my left a couple hours a day. I feel a lot better now and was able to pinpoint the problem because of your videos!

I've been suffering from chronic pain due to a whiplash fall snowboarding. Went through hell the last 5 years and feel these exact symptoms. Pain in shoulder blades, vertigo, confusion, headaches all the time etc. I've been doing better and have been working at healing but this video is gold. I'm excited to do this exercise because I believe this is the main cause to all my symptoms

Thank you doctor for taking the time to educate people like so we can live a pain free life, God Bless You.

Thank you! That was amazing, this gave me instant relief. My neck is stiff all time. I really needed this.

Wow! Immediately relieved so much tightness and pain! Thank you🙏💕

I realize this episode is six years old but I would like to say I appreciate you! I shared you with my chiropractor who I absolutely love he practices kinesiology along with the adjusting ❤

I have been having headaches starting at the base of the scull every day for 3 months. Found your videos and they have helped a lot. Although I still have discomfort it is better after doing the exercises! Thanks

Very thoughtful presentation, thank you Doctor Mandell.

Thanks Doc! This was timely for me. I sure appreciate the way you share your many years of experience, and gained wisdom, with the viewers. Many, Many Blessings to you Sir! Keep on! Keep on!

Dr Nasal, thank you so much, I am finally seeing relief from all my allergies and congestion !! It really helps

Dr Mandell #1! God bless man

Watching most of your videos, especially those that apply to my and my family's health issues, like the ones about tinnitus, was very helpful for me, and so is this one. I always had neck pain and I'm 58 and but these exercises seem to help the ringing too, it doesn't make it go away but it does make it less "loud". Highly recommend it, my doctor says I have Meniere's disease so any relief is greatly appreciated.

You are just unbelievable doc. Thanks for all of the info.

That helps a lot! Thank you very much! 🙌 I use to get lots of times inflammation in that joint. Just now, I came out of a flair. Well, it moved down, next to the axis but, for now I've got rid of my migraine (somehow low progesteron production and inflammation of that particular joint goes hand in hand - no idea, yet, of why). Again: Many thanks for sharing those helping technics! 🙏

Miracle is right!! Thank you, Thank you Dr. Mandell :)

You are wonderful! Good bless You! Greetings from Germany!

Thanks so much, I’ve had migraines for years, you always give such great techniques. God Bless.💜

Thank you so much for this video... Bless you... during your video I start doing this exercise and immediate effect was light headedness and very little relief in my neck pain because my pain seems to be at the edge of the neck and shoulder vertebrae. So I will lightly continue your prescribed treatment for few more days to see the effects. Hopefully it will be helpful. Thank you again.

Wow! It works right away! Thank you very much!

Thank you for this fix. I have 2 neck vertebrae that cause me pain and this really helps me.
