How to Overcome Cervical Pinched Nerve & Radiculopathy (Don't Panic) - Dr. Alan Mandell, DC

Pinched nerves, also known as compressive neuropathy conditions, are one of the most commonly implicated diagnostic theories used to explain combination neck pain symptoms in the upper body including: neck and shoulder pain, neck and arm pain, neck and hand pain and neck and finger pain. Compressed nerves are also usually blamed for causing many of the associated neurological symptoms which may occur in any of these areas, including tingling, weakness or numbness in the upper appendages. There could also be numerous possible causes for a trigger point, such as an poor head posture, acute injury, repetitive overuse, or irritation of facet joints in the spine, to name a few. Trigger point pain is thought to result from nodules-or tight “knots”-that develop in the otherwise smooth muscle. The number one rule I will teach you to overcome this condition is not to panic!

I would never neglect the Dr from asking for an MRI. It saved my brothers life. He had bad neck pain and arm pain for a long time and finally had an MRI and found he had his spinal column almost close off an could have lost the use of his legs and arms. They ha to do an emergency surgery to fuse his neck. He is much much better.

[@SamppaZ]

I have pinched nerve in C5 and this video was 100% accurate to describe my problems with it. My observations from last 3 years with this problem is that best thing you can do is to strengthen your neck muscles and focus on posture. My new daily routine is little bit of self-massage at the back of the neck. Then rotating head to all possible direction, so stretching. And lastly but the most important is to strengthen those neck muscles. I try to rotate my head in different directions and press against that rotation with my hands. Best thing for your health is to activate and strengthen your muscles around the body.

Two years ago i had a whole spine MRI and found disc bulges from C1 to T1 plus a disc bulge between L5S1. Lately, i already developed i think radiculopathy on both hands and legs down to the feet and hands. I have a bad posture coupled with my work on looking thru the microscope as a pathologist and working hours in front of the computer making pathology reports made a toll on my intervertebral discs. I hope i could still recover and experience pain free days by improving posture and doing the exercises you are telling us. I am 54 now and i hope its not too late. God Bless you Doc.

Thank you for grounding me. My imaginations were taking me to places I didn't need to go. You helped me go back to the basics and assess myself. Referred pain causing muscle atrophy. Lack of exercise and we run the cycle again and again. so greateful for your words of encouragement to go see a good message therapist.

[@dbirdeycapozzi9807]

You Doc, have helped me tremendously through the agony of the gripping, paralyzing pain in my neck and upper back. The twenty minutes twice a week in cervical traction (physical therapy) did nothing during my daily agony. Then your vids began appearing in my feed and I had great motivation to listen, and I learned about posture...I've been mindfully practicing the exercises you've provided and the agony is gone! I sure do appreciate your good advice. It has been a blessing in my life. Many heartfelt thanks 🙏🏽

I'm so glad you touched on the point of sugar and inflammation! I've been informing people for decades now about the connection of acidic metabolisms and how it feeds virus', bacteria, fungus. Alkalizing the body to stay between 7.0 (neutral) and 7.4 PH, I've actually noticed it DOES make a difference! Thank you for mentioning this! I share your videos quite a bit!

You’re absolutely right about smart phones and tablet devices, the cause of poor postures and my neck pain. It’s getting worst with aging… I’m trying to correct and change all that. I believe it’s possible! Thank you dr. Mandell 🙏❤️🙏

I have a severe scoliosis due to compression fracture of T12. 2 spinal surgeries, one in neck and 1 in sacrum. Wont go near chiropractor since they started using Italian "electronic" gadgets that defy reality. I know enough about electronics and mecanics to tell its all a bunch of voo doo for your pocket book. Its been 40 years with extreme scholiosis and now a dowagers hump. Woe is me! I am walking, breathing, and eating by the grace of God. Keep up your good work!
