Love your video. I was diagnosed with spondy 9 months ago. My doctor recommended physical therapy but it's too costly for me. Thank you for getting right to the point, not wasting words. The way you coach viewers through the exercises without talking on and on is priceless. Thank you so much.

[@ctawose]

I spent 4 years doing the exercises the physical therapist gave me and my back steadily got worse. I've been doing these type now for just a few weeks and can already see a difference. I wish all PT knew the right way to do them, with your pelvic bone forward

[@dawnschmidt2640]

Love that you give explanation of how each exercise is working the back and pelvis. Thank you

[@davidmckenzie5085]

thank you i have a grade 3 with surgery its back to a 1 wish i never went down the path of surgery any way with these exicises im feeling a lot better so thank you for your time and effort putting this vidio together

[@maryhansen7021]

I’m so sorry you regret surgery😢🙏🏼

[@ayannas3473]

I'm so afraid of surgery. I'm exhausting everything i can

[@gloriaheater4660]

Thank you for these exercises. My hanstring area has been very painful. I now understand what Im dealing with spondy L4. I got my spondy 35 yrs ago a blow to the back. It didnt bother me till 35 yrs later so here I am. 3 yrs of pain. Im avoiding surgery. PT seems to have made it worse some of the things they had me do. I have a new chiro that doesnt adjust like a push on my back anymore. Its a different technique. ABC. Im working on my weight, trying to get rid of that horrible pain in the hammy area. Excruciating. I get adjusted tomorrow and hope each time I get better. He told me no recliners as this will make it worse. Im Stage 2 L4.

[@rayray8840]

I learned all of these in Pilates, some with the resistance springs. Great for everyone 👍🏻💪🏻

[@Jonobueno]

Great stuff. Thanks !!

[@nene835]

happy baby helps very mutch, thnx

[@Mr.Iacobo]

Thanks for the vid. I do these and it helps but the pain always comes back. Is fusion the only solution to this from coming back ??

[@HS99876]

Thank you

[@maplenook]

Excellent

[@bradinipswich8407]

Great video thanks …. My chiropractor had advised lots of dead hangs for spondilolithesis … do you agree ?

[@bluemeaford]

Interesting. I do them sometime for spine decompression and to help my shoulders. Wonder if I should try to do them regularly to see if it makes a positive difference. (Obviously posture while dead-hanging important as I notice if I’m not careful and don’t engage my ‘corset core’ I can aggravate my back)

[@bradinipswich8407]

@@bluemeaford yes I’m not sure it’s a good idea … I can’t find anywhere online advising doing them for spondylolisthesis

[@bluemeaford]

@@bradinipswich8407 I just read in a few PT articles - so far - that if done correctly and no longer than 30 second increments it can help decompress spine, improve posture, help with hyperlordosis - issues that possibly aggravated or contributed to my spondy. So based on that I will carefully do a trial.

[@Sentinelledederision]

static sheathing first to strengthen or re-educate, then dynamic sheathing second because in life everything is dynamic.... as in yoga add to sheathing

[@ayannas3473]

Thank you so much doctor. I'm having problems standing straight up for a long period of time. Its like my core collapses if i had to describe the discomfort. And walking is a burden as well. I'm dx grade 1 spondylolisthesis and on my 4th session of decompression therapy. These excercises I will incorporate as well. I have hope because I'm very afraid of surgery. They want to do a fusion. 😢

[@nunthariyayangcharoen3586]

Hi doctor Natalie I am from Thailand I was diagnosed with spondilolisthesis L3 last month. Grade 1 My symptoms are tingling on shin and calf both sides and pain at right buttok,right hip as well My question is Can I do your exercises? Thanks for your kindness

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

So sorry to hear you're having trouble! Whoever diagnosed you would be the best person to answer questions about what you can do. However, these are the exercises we usually recommend for problems like yours. Don't keep do anything that causes pain and get some chiropractic care!

[@heathermunoz6282]

Thank you. I dearly there was more information on resistance training for trunk. I need to stay strong and be able to load weight due to early osteoporosis due to surgical menopause and bring white and slim. I've eaten healthy and taken D3 and started taking K2. I did start eating a lot more protein, which is where I went wrong overall.

[@go2therock]

Why do you think that increasing your protein worsened your condition?

[@JakubZika]

I thought that once the vertebra is slipped that it is impossible to get it back, not even one millimeter. I thought that you can only do these exercises to prevent it from further slippage and that the only way how to get it back is a surgery. Was I wrong?

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

This is more about stabilizing than fixing it. You don't want it to slip more.

[@kerriannehancock6500]

I have osteoarthritis in both hips and unsure if the Dead Bug is safe for me to do? I'm hopeful that the others are ok so that I can get started on these

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

You would need to check with your chiropractor or physical therapist if you're not sure. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly what your condition is and how to tailor the exercises for you.

[@kerriannehancock6500]

@@COREChiropracticHouston thank you for responding.

[@Keep-praying]

Are you suppose to squeeze your abdomen muscles on ALL the exercises here??

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

Keeping your core strong while you exercise is always a good idea, especially with spondylolisthesis

[@DeeptDeshpande]

Hello Doctor. Is it possible to reverse grade 2 anterolisthesis to grade 1?

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

Unlikely, you have to be more concerned about stopping it from getting worse so you can avoid surgery.

[@maplenook]

My chiro says it’s possible to reverse

[@levigregory7427]

​@@maplenookbased chiro. It would take some work but I think it could be done

[@andrewi5921]

Only exercise will help with this? Not the things doctors give. Cuz I’ve tried injections and still feel pain

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

We don't usually adjust the vertebra that has slipped forward, but we see success with making sure the pelvis is in alignment and spinal decompression relieves a lot of pressure as well.

[@Brandon-th4xx]

That's because you are blocking the pain and not solving the problem or minimizing the problem best you can. If your gluts, legs, core are not strong , you will be less stable and the back will take more if the load, or if you are doing work or lifting things, once again, if you are not strong in those areas, your back is taking most of the load. If you are at a grade 4 , you may need surgery to fix the problem, maybe even at a grade 3. I went from a grade 2 to a 3 then back to a 2 with these types of exercises everyday

[@Mr.Iacobo]

I have Ms and spondy and am disabled so these will help stabilize. Even if I just do a few?

[@nagibkanaan2464]

Waste of time Band aid exercises There are exercises that heal ur back I suffered for 10 years Twoo weeks of weighs resistance resistance exercises exercises 2 hr a day I was normal again Thanks to god and a u tuber A real champion guY He saved my life

Can you please share the exercises? I have been having back pain for some years now. It feels very bad now that I can't bend 5 inches down.

[@vn12672]

Great explantions of why the exercises are important. This was never explained to me so i didnt keep them up. Will start them again , thanks

[@tanquayen]

Very good that you repeat and emphasize each step

[@EdmundD1962]

Great instruction. Should these be done every day or every other day? Thanks.

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

Daily always works best!

[@Mr.Iacobo]

@@COREChiropracticHouston Thanks for the vid. I do these and it helps but the pain always comes back. Is fusion the only solution to this from coming back ??

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

@@Mr.Iacobo - not necessarily, but we can't really give you any specific advice unless you're a patient and we've done an evaluation.

[@hsienyen]

I like Dead Bugs because it really improves my lower back pain, thank you very much.

[@vlewin1844]

So, it is possible with these exercises to actually get the bone back in proper alignment?

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

No, just looking to support it. Adjustments or surgery are needed

[@vlewin1844]

Thanks for the reply. So do chiropractors put the bone back in place? I am very averse to surgery.

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

@@vlewin1844 - really hard to answer without seeing your x-rays and knowing how bad your spondy is. You're primarily going to be looking to keep things from getting worse, but you can get a lot of back pain relief by working with the pelvis and sacrum to help minimize the spondy slippage.

[@ibrahimozsoy-ih4ku]

Thank you

[@sahiladhikari]

Is Pelvic tilt safe ? Because extension is bad for the spine...should i do this?

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

I would stick with the exercises she recommends or consult with your doctor about your specific case.

[@stephaddiction]

Does this work for spondylolysis?

[@COREChiropracticHouston]

Spondylolysis is not quite the same thing, but these are still good stabilizing exercises for the low back

[@nagibkanaan2464]

Waste of time Wont do anything 4 u Band aid U need the right exercises I suffered 4 ten years It took me 2 weeks to heal myself 2 hrs every day at the gym Weights resistance exercises No doctor or physio or chiro Will tell u this
