Im done with Anatomy and really loved the class but I miss watching these videos. So I will watch for fun.

No question one of my favorite teachers to watch on KZfaq! I could also say you are my favorite teacher to watch no question, in many ways, for many reason! No other teacher quite like you on KZfaq! You make me love to learn more! Thank You Sam Webster! I wish you many, many beautiful blessings always in your life; and for your family and loved ones!

Thank you for the helpful lesson. Literally everyday I see patients with pain related to the sciatic nerve. You did a very fine job describing how symptoms could be of lumbar spine origin or compression from deep gluteal muscles. I would also add that sacroiliac joint dysfunction can refer pain to the area as well. I learn so much from you and consider you my virtual coach.

Give this man a Nobel prize. Sweden would be so proud.

💎 Gem - The Sciatic nerve innovates the posterior thigh and everything below the knee. I will remember that! Thanks so much again for your entertaining and informative presentation.

Wish I had known about this guy during my dissection days in med school. Absolutely superlative, especially for someone like me who struggles with key anatomy concepts which require good spatial orientation. Written text or images on a page are simply no substitute.

Being an engineer and having had a successful L5-S1 discectomy.... and three bouts of bulging disk sciatica over the past 12 years, I’m VERY interested in this anatomy, because it really helps to understand which stretches, McKenzie methods, sleeping positions, etc work and why they work. What I can’t seem to find out, and I think it might be very important, is how the sensory and motor neurons are separated in the sciatic nerve bundle (especially as they pass by the pinch points in the spine). I’m suspicious that the motor neurons might be in the center, surrounded (protected) by the sensory neurons... with the idea that maybe the motor neurons are more important to survival than the sensory neurons. If this is true, then it might mean that if your sciatica symptoms are numbness (only), or pain (only), then the pinch is putting less pressure on the nerve than if you have loss of motor function (pinching so hard that even the center neurons are being pinched). This would help us to monitor the progress of our treatment. Do you know how the sensory and motor neurons are separated?

I'm really happy to show the video. I'm a physical therapist in Korea. But my head was massed up because the structure of lumbar to lower leg is hard to understand and don't know how to link the therapeutic methods to anatomy. But I subscribe your KZfaq, I queit understand why the anatomy is important and can joint therapy with anatomy. I was blessed due to finding the KZfaq channel. Thank you and have a great day.

I highly recommend patients review the appropriate videos as well. Sam's simple and conversational tone can unravel many mysteries AND help them communicate effectively with their provider. Excellent work sir. Thank you.

Brilliant Sam! Thanks to your upper limbs for holding up the model for us.

Fantastic. Exquisitely illustrated, many thanks.

absolutely love this guy

Useful as usual ❤️ Thanks alot from Egypt ❤️

Convenient timing very surprisingly. Needed this so much. Thank you

Thank you for this video! I have sciatic pain but never really understood what was going on. It’s interesting to hear what the nerve actually is and how it can cause pain 👍🏽 Awesome video!

As an Engineer - I just love how the human body has been engineered

Thank you! Very helpful, as always.

Amazing !

Excellent video! I love Anatomy; you are the coolest teacher ever Sam! Kind regards.

Thank you !

Another great video.

Wow! Thank so much.

Thank you so much

thank you sir!

Thank you indeed! It was super!

Thank you Anatomy Professor :)

YOU ARE GREAT!!!!THANKS!!!

… and I just found my new favorite ASMRist :D

Impeccable teaching 🖖

This was enormously helpfull!! Thank You so much for this and other lectures!!! Greetings from Serbia!!!

Love the music in the beginning..this guy is clutch

Thank you! Great anatomy lesson!

Thanks doctors you best always pray you gods blessings you

thank you 🤩👍👍

Best teaching skills👍. More power to you. ✨

Great explanation, just keep going with these amaizing videos. You got our support :D

That was a very very good video !!!

great teacher

Thank you very educational

Excellent 👏👏👏

I am 31 years into a manual therapy career and would sign up for anatomy courses if you have organized distance learning. I can follow and understand the subject material very well. Great teaching!

Bravo!

Thanks you

Absolutely beautiful video thanks a lot could you please do a video about nerve tracks

Sam your videos absolutely fly by. Where did that 20 minutes go? I am so grateful to have access to these and to someone so obviously passionate about their job. I am currently suffering from some deep gluteal pain. I'm pretty convinced its either sciatic or gluteal nerve compression or entrapment but nobody can figure it out so far. Had this issue on the opposite side about 4 years ago. Piriformis injection solved the symptoms but I never got an answer as to why it happened. I must solve this once and for all and get my life back

That made alot of sense! When lay down I don't feel no pain in my back and sciatic pain until I stand up and about less than a minute I feel the tingling and it travels all through my left side and the numbness appear along side and the pain is felt on my butt.I just want this thing to heal so I can go back out side again it's been 6wks and I still have this.I don't have any back pain and I can get up with ease and can walk around but only about 7 to 10minutes and the pain comes back and have lay down and massage my buttocks to relieve the pain.But when lay down it like I don't have no problems as a normal feeling.

Brilliant! Big Thanks From Here On The Beaches Of Southern California...

Great explanation, thank you. Question: why serious pain, only when lying down on either side and at no other time? Can't find the answer to this and it's been happening for at least 9 months.

I'm a simple man. I see "anatomy", I click!

Since watching your videos, I am a way better massage therapist. It excites me to learn. And yes, you look like house but prettier. 😃

He is my helpful great

He is good for stduents

Than for hel lessin

I wish this guy can come up with an solution to this because I did all these Body Mechanic exercise and it did work far as my back pain because that was my big problem!

Good

Thanks very much. Really informative. But something I still don't understand. Over the years I have had a number of cortisone injections for elbow and sciatica issues. I have responded very well to the treatment, but of course it wears off after a couple of years. On the basis of issues indicated by my X-rays my last sciatica treatment in early 21 was to the left side L4 and L5 vertebrae. But I am now starting get some minor discomfort down my left buttock and some significant discomfort on the outside of the lower calf and shin, an ache when its under load and I'm upright and a slight burning sensation when sitting, worse at night. It seems to me that rather than forming one nerve body, like say a river that has tributories flowing off it that the sciatic nerve is more like a collection of wires that sort of join together to run down the buttock and thigh but then break away from the main path to service particular muscles in the leg. I'm thinking that if I opt for another cortisone shot then the target should be L5. I am not asking for a diagnosis, just asking if you feel my understanding of the sciatic nerve is correct? Thanks Chris

Nice Nice! what is the best anatomy book for you sir?

You are 24hr too late with this 😂 Got asked some of this yesterday in my oral USMLE 1 (i’m from germany)

When sitting cross legged on the floor, afyer 15mins i feel loud pressure on the nerve below buttocks which numbs the leg down till the toes... i also feel tension deep behind the knee in certain stretching postures... what should I do to fix this please?

This is unrelated to video, but what does "semi" mean in the semispinalis? I can't think of any other place in anatomy where I see the word "semi".

It looks like sura means calf. Does the sural nerve serve the calf?

How can one get rid of that pinching pain? How to actually address that problem where it starts from but the pain runs down the hip bone and the whole leg. Pls help!

Why does it cause pain - what is the permanent solution for THIS,?

please Dr Sam, we need to know that the muscles of forearm attachments for? it means that we want more explaining for forearm muscles Thank you Dr Sam

Anatomy is kinda hard if you don't memorize each bone and its name, it is complicated and I'm doing my best to learn it. From High school ''last year''

SCIATICA - '...And Nerve Pain For All'

👍🙏

Currently lower limb is going on and this shows up haha

My 15 year old daughter has hurt hers playing football I really hope it doesn’t effect her for life

Hello sir 😊

In a nutshell , noted anatomist or Sam Webster!!??

So what happens when all those Coxxyx holes get paved over with bone in DISH?

there was a video on youtube that someone rip the whole nerve out of a dead body .

You are so perfect 🤍🫶🏻

Sixth.

I get sciatica but only affects my left bum cheek.

First

Ah ha! Just seen why cyclists get problems with their sciatic nerve!
