Can this paticular nerve being entrapped cause pain when breathing?

That hat is 🔥🔥🔥💯❤️

I have this nerve entrapment, largely related to c5-c7 disc issues but also tight right shoulder and rotator cuff. My neck and traps are also weak. I cant do full push up without pain in back of my neck and traps down to low traps feel weak and long. I think the problem is my serratus anterior, posterior, and maybe intercostal muscles. Exercising my thoracic muscles should open my right shoulder and rotator cuff and that might be the answer to the nerve entrapment and getting my neck and traps in order.

Can Electroneurography show if the nerve is affected?

Where can I find a practitioner near me?

Hi thanks so what is the answer? "Is It An Effective Treatment or A Waste Of Time?"

Dude, I thought Sciatica was a heavy metal band.

How come every time we have a solar flare, i get inflammation and pain? I built a shielded room to blocknspace weather now my pain is mitigated in 30 secondss to a few minutes max vs. Hours of pain. I have adheasive aracanoiditis and no disc at L5 S1.

Hey Matt, why are you presenting cervical radiculopathy as a common injury associated with a nerve entrapment? Can't disc herniation be what's causing the entrapment in the first place? I've been watching your videos and it looks like you are exclusively considering scar tissue formation as the source of nerve entrapments. Am I missing something?

That referred pain into the back - ugh.

Thank you! The first illustration perfectly describes my issues. Looked everywhere on KZbin for exactly this.

Agree completely. They harm the profession at the expense of feeding their egos. i see a correlation between people who have suffered childhood trauma and those that peddle nonsense. It makes them feel powerful.

Do you provide any training courses for your technique?

Been diagnosed with T4 syndrome but can’t find anybody with any real answers on how to fix this. Tried sooooo many things. Any thoughts on which of these nerve entrapments might be related to that? Chronic neck and should pain starting from CT Junction. Nerve pain shooting out to left scap and lateral tricep. Will also get into posterior, lateral pocket of shoulder on left side. T1/T2 is chronically painful but will shoot down to T5, causing headaches on across the forehead and ear.

I feel blessed that I was one of the first few to become a Certified Peak Method Practitioner in Iowa! I use the knowledge, technique, and skills that you educated myself in, on my clients journey to improved health and wellness. Thank you Dr. Matt for all you do.

So true! Nobody cares what you’re certified in. Can you fix the problem?!

13:03 Thank you so much for this video this was very informative and just what I was looking for to try to relieve some pressure on my nerve

Personally I feel most just want you to keep coming back, to make money.

Thanks for sharing

Can you provide us a video of self-help? :) If that is even posible.

Ive got bad atrophy of the supraspinatus on the rear of my shoulder and my shoulder blade is protruding as a result. Could this be a supra scapular nerve impingement? I have a catching sensation at the front of my shoulder when i mimic a pressing motion. It feels like tye shoulder joint is not stable. Thankyou

What are your thoughts with snapping scapula with these symptoms? I’ve injured myself doing shrugs in the gym about 5 years ago. I’ve had multiple mris and they haven’t been able to give me a diagnosis. I can live pain free if I have a sedentary lifestyle but I’m a plumber by trade and really miss working out. At its worst I have chronic snapping scapula with pain/numbness radiating down the arm. Forearm and ring finger dull “pain”. Thank you for your guidance!

What an about patients that i have significant entrapments in the lateral neck roots. Would giving them some basic nerve floss (sidebends) help?

I've slept with a cockup wrist brace since 2016, and feel great. The only time it ever hurt and my entire arm sometimes went completely numb, was while sleeping.

Wao! This is great information! Thanks for sharing!

I think you should really look into the work that the Stecco family has put out about scar tissue if you haven't already.. I'm no expert, but in listening to interviews with Antonio Stecco it seems that he draws a major and important distinction between scar tissue aka fibrosis aka collagen deposits and what we often call "adhesions." If I understood him right, he said(in a Thinking Practitioner Podcast interview if you're interested) that adhesions are actually more of the bi-product of localized tissue dehydration on a cellular level causing the ground substance between layers to become more viscous and eventually thicken and stick tissues together. And while this to palpation may feel exactly like scar tissue/fibrosis, in manual therapy treatment it is actually this later type of adhesion which we are able to have significant effects on, not scar tissue. Again, I'm no expert, I just piece things that other people(yourself included, thank you very much) say in podcasts/interviews and try to make sense of it. I've been operating under the understanding that this later framework for adhesion is more commonly what we as manual therapists encounter though. I would love to better understand how common each is and how to differentiate. Thank you for the video and all of the ones you've been making by the way. The nerve ones I've found to be especially helpful.

you keep saying between the middle and posterior scalenes. I've always heard that it's the anterior and middle though..?

Do you ever find clinically, due to multiple different soft tissue injuries, that there's multiple entrapment sites? I've had different injuries at different times, and add on top if that sedentary job for 12-14 hours a day and all on my right side

So, when a masseuse is going to treat this entrapment, do they message the neck area or focus on the area in the mid back (where the pain is) to break up the scar tissue?

I appreciate your podcasts. My idea on soft tissue pain has changed a lot since I was in massage school. I have recently started my own business and your podcasts have helped in keeping me encouraged and motivated. I work at a chiropractic office where my schedule is the only full schedule ( basically people are there to see me and just see the dr because they have to for billing purposes) It feels like an intense time because I’m not going to take insurance and I wonder how many people will want to follow, I go into this new business with the idea I may have to build from the ground up but I hope that people will value the work regardless of not billing insurance. I am questioning the idea of “breaking up adhesions “ it’s been hard to admit but I don’t think that is what we are doing. I have been focusing less on muscles and more on the nervous system via toe fascia / periosteum coupled with correct depth tension and movement. The nervous system changes many of the areas of adhesion with out manipulation. What do you think about that? I have having a lot of success in my treatments very quickly with shorter sessions ( not everyone) but many.

Would LOVE to have a copy of this email❤

I completely agree with you on all of these issues. (Full disclosure: I am educated as a chiropractor and certified nurse midwife, and for years I have said that DCs are their own worse enemies for many of the reasons you stated here, but that is another issue altogether.) I have always recommended MT to my patients as a stand alone treatment. (So many people don't need adjusting--but they desperately need soft tissue treatment, and I've never seen a single pregnant woman who wouldn't benefit from good therapeutic massage as well.) But I would like to add one additional reason why MTs are not taken seriously--tipping. As long as MTs keep one foot in the "beauty" camp while trying to "break into" the medical care camp, they will never be fully successful nor taken seriously. As soon as a provider takes a medical intake form or is accepted by insurance (albeit not many insurance companies, but some) as a legitimate treatment, that provider gives up the "right" (if that is the correct word) to expect tips from their clients. Is MT physically demanding--you bet! But so are most jobs in the medical field. But we don't tip MDs, DOs, DCs, acupuncturists, dietitians, pharmacist, dentists, etc. Having said that, I know that many massage therapy business refuse to pay their providers well (Massage Envy, I'm looking at you), but that is another part of the "culture" that has to change. Just my two cents. I really appreciated your perspective on this topic.

How far down does the accessory nerve travel?? does it go as low as the rhomboids or shoulld we only be concerned with the superior part? I get this confused with the dorsal scapular nerve a lot, could you help out? Excellent quality videos, people cant even fathom the value of this information

Thanks for another great podcast Dr. Matt

Lol nice video I like this one! 👌

Here are some reviews I copied from Yelp. Photo of Michelle F. Michelle F. Tampa, FL 0 1 10/8/2018 I was offered $300 by Maggio's office not to write this review, but to me, helping other people is more important than money, and since there has only been a few reviews in the past year, I thought I would update everyone how they are currently conducting their business. I have been a legal asst. for 20 yrs & a yoga instructor for 4 yrs so I feel that I have an educated opinion on ethics & authenticity, and found out at the end of this journey that neither Maggio nor Brian have either. I was referred to Maggio by a gentleman, who said he had helped his pain, but he also had bought into this business for reasons that I can't repeat publicly (but unethical). I had tried everything from acupuncture to injections to relieve the excruciating sciatica pain down my leg & pain in my feet, to the point I gripped furniture to get out of bed in the morning. Their process is to interview you to see if you would be a candidate to be their patient. In hindsight, who wouldn't be at the age of 48? As a yoga instructor that assists in healing people, everyone probably has an adhesion in their body that could be removed. You are then sent in to see Brian to sign a very primitive looking contract, and give them the full amount for the treatment. I borrowed $2,300 from my parents and took the desperate leap of faith, praying that this time a treatment worked. The contract has a refund policy and as it was explained to me, that if the treatment didn't work, I would be refunded 12 visits of the 18 that they deemed I needed, at a reduced rate of $145. The contract also states that if Maggio refers you to another doctor, the refund clause would be "put into effect." Now onto the treatment part. He measures the damage in your back by setting a pencil on your lower spine, red flag number one. The treatment lasts about 15 minutes and he either scrapes at your spine with this little thing that looks like what I use to clean my pampered chef baking stone, or he had me lay on my side to press into my hip on something he feels is an adhesion.Only one time did the treatment work, and I believe it was on visit 12 (the one you're supposed to speak up at if you don't think the treatment is working, & can request a refund...coincidence?), I'll leave that to your speculation), It held for 5 days and then the pain went right back to where it always was, an 8 on a scale of 1-10. On visit 15 he deemed that he could not help me and referred me to a neurosurgeon.The neurosurgeon required a new MRI & if I wanted to be seen the next week instead of waiting a month, I had to do it quickly. Maggio's office told me about Gateway, where you can pay $225 out of pocket for an MRI, so I charged that. The neurosurgeon's copay was $60. I sat in front of this expert who told me he had no idea why Maggio had sent me there. I did not have anything wrong with my discs as he had claimed, and that I have tarlov cysts that are pressing on the nerves in my lower back causing the pain. I was not a candidate for back surgery as there is no protocol in the medical world as of yet to fix them, so I'm out another $300. End of story, I asked Maggio's office for the refund so I could seek treatment elsewhere, where yet, I don't know, but I'm praying hard about it. They refused and became hostile, and offered me $300 if I didn't write a bad review about their office, and spoke down to me about my "perception of pain". The attorney's I work with agree that they are in breach of contract, but it would cost me more to sue them, than the actual refund, so here I am. I think my advice to anyone taking the time to read this is basically this, buyer beware, count your visits & speak up if by visit 12, it is not working for you because they will not make you aware of it, as you would think, and this is where the ethics part comes into play, being the "experts", the would say, we are on visit 12 and there is no improvement, do you want to continue?" As far as the authenticity part, cross them and you will see their true selves. Photo of Gail R. Gail R. Wimauma, FL 0 5 10/18/2016 Dr. Maggio does not take any insurance and you have to sign a form that you know this at the beginning. No objection there. But when I tried to submit as an out of network provider and my insurance company asked for him to sign an opt out letter, he refused and then sent me a scathing email denigrating insurance companies. So unless you are willing to not even try to get reimbursed, find another provider. Also, he did not help me but that does not mean he can't help others. Hundreds of dollars wasted. Photo of Katie L. Katie L. Largo, FL 0 1 5/17/2016 Absolute TERRIBLE experience! This "Dr" is so head strong and full of himself that he thinks he is God and the only one that can "help" you out. He pretty much told me that he's my only option other than surgery. I went to him for at least 8 visits and felt NO relief! He is very impatient and confrontational. Just because me (his client) was concerned about my back and treatment, I asked him to order me an MRI (which I would have to pay for) SEVERAL TIMES and he avoided it. Obviously there's something he's hiding. After my last visit, I told him once again that I wanted an MRI, because at that point, I had already forked over almost $600 for his "treatments" while I felt NO relief! So by me asking for an MRI, he pretty much told me to get lost! He sent me a "client termination" letter. He told me he would refund my money and 5 MINUTES later, he emailed me stating that I'm not eligible for a refund. I would never recommend this joke to anyone. He obviously doesn't care about his clients. If you do decide to waste your time with him, don't dare ask too many questions or be concerned about your body or your treatment, because he may kick you to the curb too! Dr Maggio won't go to far treating people this way! That's a fact!

2:08 2:18 2:34 3:57 thank you so much for spreading your knowledge. You are gifted in what you do.

My fingers in both my hands went numb overnight a few weeks ago and I still haven’t gotten anything figured out

I learned in massage school not to discount your services. So I stuck to that and I use to work with a chiropractor sharing a massage room with another massage therapist who would always cut her prices and I wouldn’t do that but more people would book with her. Made me so mad!!!!

Promo SM 💯

Good to see you!

Can the entrapment of the accessory nerv lead to atrophy of the trapezius?
