Too many people choose surgery. A surgeon will always want to cut or remove, even though there many options before that is needed

Hi doc, what treatment is good for tendon in dorsal after injury? Thank you doc

Hi doc, may I ask what treatment is good for hand pain, dorsal part of the hand? Thank you

Hi doc, I hope you'll notice. Is it okay to do hand grip exercises everyday? Thank you

People with reflux, need to stop eating 4 hours before bed, then sleep on your back or right side.

What are the names of your books? I was a LMT in NC for over 30 years. Is this technic related to facilitated stretching?

B.S.

The right sleeping side is most comfortable for me.

When sleeping on the right side, where should my right arm be? My right arm is never comfortable.

i just watched a video were the person said sleeping on the left side is better for a person than sleeping on the right. side.

As far as the heart is concerned it is a case of closed loop pumping .. when one sleeps turning to the left there is automatically a plus pressure which is equal to priming. So if at all there is an advantage it is there only in case of leftdide tilting.

Hi doc, do mri show carpal tunnel syndrome? Thank you

If there is really a difference between the two options left turn and right turn human beings would not have been built this way. Anyway there is no harm in expressing an opinion. I have always felt more comfortable with the left turn.

Hi doc, may I ask. Do MRI will show nerve compression? Thank you

Hi doc, may I ask do musculoskeletal ultrasound will show ligament tear? Thank you

Hi doc, may I ask do musculoskeletal ultrasound show muscle tear? Thank you

I have always been on the lelf side of the bed but roll on my right side to sleep. But lately the right shoulder starting to hurt so i sleep on my back some good sleep.

I favor sleeping on my right. I also sleep on my back. I do have have some slight cognitive issues Since I broke my left hip almost a year ago. I don’t sleep on my left. I want to, but it isn’t comfortable yet. I have 2 bars in my left hip. As The Rolling Stones say, “What a drag it is getting old.”🎶

I suffered bad reflux sleeping on the right, now i sleep on the left and rarely wake up during the night with reflux. My specialist recommended sleeping on the left.

Left side is healthy!!

This video on the utube confusing people others say on left and you say sleep on the right so confusing views no good at all

Sleep on your back!

Perhaps it is not appropriate to mention this in a video relying heavily on medical research. But it may be of interest to some, that Buddha recommended sleeping on the right side, though without any explanation (Tipitaka, Suttanta Pitaka, Majjhima Nikaya, Ganaka Moggallana Sutta #107).

Hi doc, may I ask what are the symptoms of infected joints or bones? Thank you

Is this good for intercostal neuralgia? Where can I get this belt? Thank you Doctor.

What about acid reflux

I sleep most comfortably on my right side but change to left side during the night but then after not very long I go turn onto my right side.

I like sleeping on my back it hurts me to lay on my sides the next day.

Yes!!! I was waiting for this video for so long. I keep telling my clients about not using percussive massagers for pain/trigger points. Now I can just send them this video. 🎉

Question for case with clinical profile. age 60, female. What about when lower thoracic errectors are hypertonic but not painful. The pain patterns, refering inferiorly, are common to QL and Piriformis. The pain patterns presented in her description of reason for seeking MM, intermittent sciatica down the thigh and into the peroneal muscles . But consistent gluteal pain approximately below the mid Piriformis muscle belly near the ischial tuberosity. None of the neuromuscular trigger points presented as referrals on palpation. Pain on evaluation was localized. QL had minor HT in the common TrP areas, which we eliminated after 7 sessions of a customized MM SBP. The gluteal pain and HT has been eliminated for at least 2 wks. But she still has periodic slight tight discomfort in the glutt. There is slight tenderness of the Piriformis on palpation, no discernable HT. She is using true vibration qd on the thoracic errectors HT. While the errectors are about 50% less HT than on initial examination, they still have significant HT. Self care 2/d She is doing passive stretching, 10 reps with 2 second hold. Since her ROM now allows knee to arm pits, she no longer does PRI for the errectors. She continues adding standing QL stretches at the kitchen counter. She generally had a high pain threshold, as evidenced by no pain response when most areas of HT are tx. She does have TrP w palpation of the semimembranosus. While it's local tenderness on palpation of the commonTrPs, the common pain pattern does extend to the ischial tuberosity. Questions Would percussion vibration be better for her thoracic errectors HT? Does optimal care include targeted therapeutic massage until all discomfort around the ischial tuberosity is eliminated? (She's currently on 2 wk schedule.) Her DC was doing decompression, which they eliminated at the start of the MM program. Is it optimal to restart decompression with the slight intermittent discomfort remaining around the ischial tuberosity? I know it should be discontinued until pain and discomfort in the extremities subside. Her last TM was followed by DC manipulation within 24 hrs. The DC noted the HT in lumbar easily resolved with the adjustment. Thus DC said a 4 wk schedule can be resumed if the patient chooses. Her QLs had been stable for several TM sessions until a 6 hour car ride, round trip seemed to exacerbate the ischial tuberosity intermittent discomfort (never pain) followed by QL HT during the TM. Any advice about this end phase is welcome. No hx of any chtonic conditions like OA or spine disorders. I want to release her from my care ASAP.

If I understand correctly, an athlete who has chronic low back pain will promote healing with true vibration. Though they may feel immediate, temporary relief, long term, it exacerbates the problem. Is that correct?

To make sure I understand: For overly parasympathetic, instead of making interruptive vibration by the hitachi, could we use the percussion gun?

That looks like a torture💀

I like to sleep on my back with my legs elevated in a wedge pillow

I was diagnosed w/TOS several years ago. Dr at the time suggested I have my first rib removed. I declined. Because I’ve left it untreated for so long I’m Now Finding it’s increasingly difficult to relieve the intense numbness and pain in my hands, palms & arms. Effects my sleep waking me 4-5 times a night because the numbness is so intense and my daily life. It’s hard to use your hands when they are so numb and hurt so bad from the numbness. It’s my entire hand on both sides, my palms. When I first wake up it’s REAL bad, I used to be able to move around & the symptoms would subside some. Now I just can’t get it to subside no matter what I do. I can’t use my hands normally after waking up and for a large part of the morning. Have to stop whatever I’m doing because I’m unable to hold, grab to do much due to the pain & numbness

Thank you Dr. Ross. I am an RMT Have clients with Parkinson’s I am interested in learning these medical massage techniques to help serve my clients.

Hi doc, I hope you'll notice I had a severe hit on my thenar eminence that lead to pain in my dorsal and palmar of my hand My doctor recommend me to do hand grip exercise When I do hand grip exercise when I wake up from sleep I cant move my hand for a while I'm worried if the exercise will make it worse Do I need to stop or still continue doing the exercise? Thank you

Still feeling great after seeing you.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ already told us to sleep on your right side since 14 centuries ago. So scientist just stick to it and reveals what’s behind it. Islam is wayy of life here and after..

Hi doc, I hope you'll notice can I send my xray to you? Thank you
