IT’S NOT SCIATICA! They’re Hip Rotator Trigger Points! Do This! | Dr Wil & Dr K

[@bdozier2000]

I've been rolling my IT bands and hip/lower back knots for years using all sorts of things: tennis balls, pvc pipes, golf ball, lacrosse balls etc. Turns out my technique and approach was all wrong. Should have been sitting and applying natural pressure for 3-5 minutes instead. Much better results after 15 minutes. Really appreciate the correction and clarity!

[@eppystein2953]

Try dry needling, it's unbelievably effective

[@TwstedTV]

Due Note - People should ALWAYS see their doctor in a MAJOR city hospital first in your area. Let that doctor do an X-Ray and MRI/CT Scan first, before taking any advice from a video on youtube. People can have all kinds of different problems that is NOT related to any trigger points, but rather a torn muscle, brisitis inflamation, labral tear, a pinched nerve root or disc herniation or anything else. Which may require a microendoscopic discectomy surgery. This is usually within the lumbar area of the spine which is between L1 to L5 but mostkly between L3 & L5 and even the sacrum, which is located just below the lumbar part of the spine. aka the butt bone. Just MAKE SURE that the surgeon NEVER drills or cuts any part of the Spinous Process or Lamina part of the spinal bone in any way shape or form that is the last thing you want, as in these days there is a less invasive surgery, which allows the patient to heal & recover faster, which is known as the microendoscopic discectomy surgery. You might need the nexus removed from one of your spinal disks and an Allograft to be installed, due to any Vertbral bone deterioration or degradation, Prolapse, extrusion which is putting pressure on your spinal nerve root or the main spinal nerve that is wrapped within the dura, in which requires immediate surgery by a professional Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon in a major city hospital. Always, Always, Always get checked out in a major city hospital and get an XRay and MRI/CT scan first. You Have been Warned......

[@MoveWellLiveWell]

Hello, Thanks for Watching, and Your Kind Remarks!😄We usually don’t recommend icing after this type of therapy. This therapy helps to “Loosen” tight and restricted tissues, “Calm” trigger points, and promote circulation to aid in healing. Icing may disrupt this process. Thanks again for Watching, Your Inquiry, and Your Kind Remarks. Keep us posted on your progress.

I bought one and used it today for the 1st time and found about 60-70% relief. It may be temporary, or I may be able to build on that healing.

[@PainintoPower]

Triggerpoints are a result not a cause. Although treating triggerpoints can have a massive positive result, for many people that result is only temporarily. It’s only symptom treatment, like taking an aspirin, the headache can come back again if you don’t address the root cause of why you have triggerpoints. Most people with chronic pain have an overstimulated nervoussystem caused by way too much stress (various stress factors but emotional stress the biggest). As the nervous system controls the muscles, how can an overstimulated nervous system ever bring relaxation to muscles if the nervous system itself is never relaxed? It can’t! It’s important to lower the stress on the nervous system and the best way to do that is to start working on emotional healing and negative thoughtpatterns. A relaxed nervous system will relax the entire body including your painful muscles.

Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Trigger Points are weird beasts. Depending on your activities, history of trauma, or mechanical joint dysfunction, trigger point therapy could be an ongoing part of self care. The idea is to continue this treatment as tolerated until symptoms dissipate. When symptoms dissipate, check these areas periodically and resume treatment if sensitivity and referred pain is present. In other words check often and treat to prevent worsening.

[@AmandaLovesOldFords]

I'm assuming that if you have numbness and burning sensations, along with the pain, that is true sciatica?

[@MoveWellLiveWell]

Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Sciatica is caused by irritation of the nerve roots of the lumbar and lumbosacral spine. This irritation to the sciatic nerve is often caused by spinal stenosis, degenerating discs, spondylolisthesis, muscle spasm, and/or pregnancy. Thus, “True” Sciatica would have to involve the sciatic nerve causing RADICULAR symptoms. However, REFERRED symptoms typically arise from other structures causing symptoms elsewhere such as trigger points causing symptoms elsewhere. Trigger points in the glute medius often REFER symptoms down the back of the leg similar to Sciatica as noted in the video. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for Watching and your inquiry.

This is exactly what happened to me when I got misdiagnosed with the sciatica. I had a lot of numbness as well, so went through so many specialists and doctors, with very little luck. I am pretty sure this is what I have and when the muscle gets really aggravated, it presses on the nerve and send the tingling and numbness down. The ball helps, I just tried it.But in another video they said to do 8-10 times for 5 sec each pressing and releasing, while you are continuously holding 3-5min per spot. Which one is more efficient?

How about trigger point therapy shots

[@charleseastridge6640]

You are the man!! Thank you!!!

[@pjpj2639]

Do this maybe once a week or so...it works...there is some slight pain but it also feels good.....I found it works better or in conjunction with a roller....if you have a lot of pain in those areas a roller just doesn’t get it and the ball works better. But I use both or one of them daily after I stretch. The roller will smooth the tendon or muscle.

What about a baseball?

[@brendalg4]

What if the pain doesn't refer down your leg?

[@MoveWellLiveWell]

Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Trigger points are weird and often don’t refer pain to other areas. That’s a good thing. 👍I hope that answers your question. Thanks again for watching and your inquiry.

Agree with other comments that too redundant and repetitive. Video could be cut down to less than 5 minutes.

[@thamp1s]

Did you notice that you spent 6 minutes speaking the same thing? Video starts at 6:21

[@charliewisp]

Too much repetition and very hard to listen to.

[@dynamicpisces]

Dude you seriously just repeated yourself over and over again for the first 8 minutes of this video! Geez😫

[@MoveWellLiveWell]

Hello and Thanks for Watching!😄Thanks for the critique. I will try to improve.

[@distapp9]

jeeeeeez. thx for your contribution to your dialogue.

[@geraldgruffalo3522]

He really didn’t repeat himself that much. He just thoroughly explained everything. If you are suffering from this issue you should be thankful that he cares enough to make this informative video.

[@skiziskin]

Could you repeat yourself a little more?
