Neck Pain Gone in Seconds (Self-Help Myofascial Trigger Point Correction) - Dr Alan Mandell, DC

[@alwayslearning4]

After countless hours at the chiropractor, getting x-rays and MRI’s, the value I got out of the 20 minute video is astonishing. I’m emotional writing this. I’ve been digging into these few pressure points for a few minutes and feel instantly better. It’s alarming how chiropractors couldn’t diagnose my issue.

[@LetsGoBig]

I believe they didnt want to.

[@joyfoster4292]

Ditto for me..

[@jodyrobertson996]

Where goes their income stream if they 'cure' you. Imagine having the knowledge to relieve pain or prevent death and you let others die or walk around in pain for however many months or years... Because of money and greed. I love how this doctor cares about people! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!

[@jo97779]

Try Gua Sha. It’s worked wonders for my fascia damage which started after a MVA in 1996.

[@diane5206]

After 5 months of severe neck and shoulder pain, 3 MRIs, 10 sessions with a chiropractor and two prescriptions ( I never took), nothing was presented to me that would stop this pain…until you! This video instantly released 90% of the pain I was in in just 5 mins!! Why don’t doctors know this?? The excruciating pain I’ve been through, and all of the expensive testing, even a chiropractor didn’t know to do this. As I write this, I can’t believe the amount of my and our health care system’s dollars that were spent on my quest to find a solution. SMH. Thank you Dr Mandell. You are the best of the very best. ❤

[@mattparr3038]

They know, but they'd rather get paid and go by the book. Glad we have youtube channels like this to help us out.

[@Jacqueline-js8pw]

[@haroldshaw1542]

Exactly right, they know. They have to keep you coming back or refer you to one of their colleagues to get a share of the pie. Thank God for this Dr..!!

[@LjubicaBilobrk]

Thank you so much, for all your valuable tips. I would be greatfull if you advice me how to reduce pain of the lumbar spine. Namely, I had a double fusion of L3-L4 and L4-L5 due to anterior spondylolisthesis (2018.). Also, I have degenerative OA of the spine and seropositive RA for 50 years. I exercise regularly deep muscles of the LS spine, external muscles. Now i have 10 therapy with interfering currents and tens. I would like to learn how to apply the trigger points for LS muscles. Can tens be applied as trigger points, also. I assume that there are other people with similar problems, following you. Thank you and all the best. Ljubica from SLOVENIA, member of EU.

Working on my trigger points by rolling a tennis ball between my neck/shoulder and a wall saved my life and my sanity! This was after a year of PT, acupuncture, x-rays, MRIs, meds, all of which ultimately did not help. Finding and massaging my trigger points was the only thing that resolved my chronic neck pain. Thank you so much Dr. Mandell for your sound advice, as always!

This video was highly useful. I get this neck problem at least once a year. And 4 years back, I discovered this video. That time, I suffered with pain for more than a week. But after seeing this video and massaging the trigger points, the pain is usually gone in a day or two. Thank you so much. You and Bob&Brad have been very helpful in my pain management and healing.

[@ChrisLichocki]

I've suffered for 15 years with neck pain and and subsequent radiating pain. Had cervical spinal fusion surgery and disc replacement at levels c4 to c6 in 2014. Continue to have all kinds of pain and migraines, and light headedness since. This doctor and his videos are the best on the internet, no question. His knowledge and explanations are outstanding. Started doing some of his self care treatments that apply to me, and started to feel changes quickly. I do believe we need to do our part to help ourselves.

[@venkataswamyparagati9548]

Can you please tell us what's your personal experience after doing these pressure points and how much time you did these pressure points.

[@charmainebaines-nk6dk]

I have radiating pain, severe neck pain and burning and can’t bend my neck. 7 years. Terrible head pressure 24/7. Neck crackle and crunch and clunk. No doctor believes me. Does this seem like ON ? Bc some symptoms are ON but others seem different.

Very true. For what I would spend on pills (ok was spending) I bought a Theracane, IR Pad, standing desk (among other things) and they work wonders. Our bodies tell us where the pain is if we listen and do something about it 😉.

as an LMT, this video is amazingly spot on with great articulation for the viewer to understand. Sending this to a client! I appreciate your work Doc'

[@MUmar-vy3cc]

i liked your kindness. That is what most of the people need the most these days.

[@LJ-pg4pf]

With me it’s old accidents, but now I realize it’s mostly from sleeping on my side. I was having all sorts of problems until I seen this video and paid attention to the points right on my shoulders next to my collarbone, massaging those two small muscles, one on the right side and one on the left just released all the pain I was having in my chest and the back of my neck, my shoulders everything, thank you.

[@LJ-pg4pf]

Ps. I used a small powerful massage machine, without it I don’t think I would’ve been able to get those muscles to really relax. Not only that, but all the anxiety disappeared all the moving around twirling myself in crazy positions. Tryna get some nerve to pop in into place all had to do with those two points. Anybody having problems I suggest you get a good little rechargeable machine and find your pressure points. Be careful with the ones behind your neck because twice in my life I’ve pressed on the left side and instantly right after wasn’t able to move my neck from left to right. So I’d be careful with the ones behind the neck, especially the ones right where your back starts going down about 4 inches. Stay safe.

[@funkyo1999]

I have cervical dystonia - thank you for mentioning it in your video! With that said, I have tried pressure point therapy, however never went back into the muscle a 2nd time as you instructed. That is so much better! The pain often does not go away, but it does lessen the strain that is there. Another helpful video :) TYtyTY :)

[@robertwilliams5618]

It hasn't helped ny dystonia. I have trigger points that I've been trying to get rid of for years they just never go away

[@Bevlep]

If you’re having a hard time reaching your back area you can take a long sock and put a tennis ball inside it and roll your back up against the ball on a wall you will know when you’re hitting a knot. I have been having tension headaches & migraines for 2 years (I was diagnosed with cervical stenosis and a disc hernia) with no type of relief and for the first time I finally had some type of relief today that I cried, you can actually feel your muscles loosen. Understand that if you’re someone like me who has years of damage done to your muscles this will take time to feel full relief - keep doing this daily 1x - 2x day plus stretches don’t give up you will start to feel better with each and every day that no medication can fix! I also run a jewelry business and constantly in that typing type of position I use a neck brace at times to keep my head up straight so if you’re someone who is constantly in that one position please invest in a neck brace to help with posture!

I just felt so good I wanted to run like a kid. Now I can turn my neck way easier and I hear less crackling sounds. I can think more clearly. Thank you, and God bless you. Keep helping people with your knowledge. You’re making the world more bearable for many souls.

I wish I had found you 5 years ago, my son might still be. Alive. He was in service and had an injury to his back which required surgery and lots of metal. He will be forever. 32. This might have saved him from self harm. He killed himself to get out of pain. It will be 5 years this Christmas eve.. Dr. Mandela I love these videos, you have helped more then you know. I have been told I need back surgery but not healthy enough to do it. You may have just saved me from it. Thank you, Doc!!!

[@IAmRayAnthony]

@@matteg490 Be aware that healing and health all begins in your mind. Every feeling you experience in your physical body is created by your thoughts that you CHOOSE. Your brain releases hormones/chemicals that create the feeling throughout your body. This goes for good or bad feelings. Take note of how you feel an improvement in your overall wellbeing whenever you're laughing or briefly having fun. Notice how your attention in taken away from your pain? Whenever you're doing this, your immune system is releasing feel good chemicals/hormones which are also responsible for healing your body! Knowing this, be sure to under that your body is hardwired and designed to automatically heal. But every time you're stressing or doubting or telling yourself that something is wrong - your immune system stops to help you survive that threat your belive in. You must rest, relax, do whatever you can to feel good and let your body heal itself. BE POSITIVE. THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS. And in all honesty, this is why Cannabis is so useful and good for healing.

[@matteg490]

You wrote me but erased it and told me, "Every feeling you experience in your physical body is created by your thoughts that you CHOOSE". Choice? lol. Well, most scientists and me (I'm not one) know that free will may not exist or can't be proved, sort of like god. Everything is determined by evolution, biology, and environmental factors. There is some "free choice" but no free will. Ask the top scientists, who know a lot more than me or you. We are all but interactions of genetics and environment, though sure most of us like to believe we can change things about ourselves and others. Free will is an illusion, though choices are not predictable, and surprises do not mean free will; it is still random and determined.

It effects my job, my home life and my mind. Found this video and the pain went from a 10 down to a 6 immediately. The more I do it, the less the pain gets and I’m getting feeling back in my arm and right thumb. Every MD told me, take NSAIDS or steroids or just ake more meds. Not one mentioned to push on the pressure points. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@danielmccallon7033]

Toney Tarantino I know how you feel. I felt I lost 3 years of my life. It traveled. Try using a firm orange and use it as Accupressure feel around for points of tightness and pain. Roll your head side to side. The orange is cool in air conditioning alone or in fridge then it warms so it provides warmth and cold. Litereally the fascia hardens that why it needs oxygen & blood flow to soften. I also use a wooden pillow. I do this through out the day. Bc the longer left untreated the worse it gets. I go to Physical Therapy as well. Drug stores sell a little electrical thingy that helped me a couple years ago and I was finally abled to lift my arms. It feels like little needles but works. Additionally, Alternating hot and cold compresses are important too.

[@hopeforthefuture8680]

I’m really thankful for your help. I was hit by a semi while at a complete stop with a line of stopped vehicles (so I couldn’t get away) in 1995. I was driving a 1970 Dodge Charger with stock seats (no head rest). The semi was only traveling approximately 3-5 mph to make a left turn as I was in horror watching it come at me (head turned right at an upward angle), the impact/force was great. Since those days, no insurance, etc, I have learned to live with pain. BUT, I am so thankful for your help at teaching me how to help myself. It is part of my life but I have learned by many of your videos that if I manipulate and massage and stretch my cervical area I can find relief. I have been doing physical labor for so many years, but really if I don’t keep moving I am more miserable. No sitting still for me. I really like the chin tucks as of late, because I have lost all muscles there. My head just forward very much, I have that fat hump on my back, I have shoulder and thoracic pain, and lumbar pain. But I don’t take much ibuprofen and no narcotics. I did get hit again in 2013 and was prescribed skelaxin (20) an I still have a 1/2 of one left for emergency. I have been using the trigger point in my neck areas which help. It’s the migraines that steal my life, but using the chin tuck and self massage I’ve been migraine free for about three weeks now. I’ll keep coming back to your self help videos. Thanks so much!

[@8888cjstarwoman]

I am so sorry for that accident. I ve had migraines for years, Car over bank at 17. One day in my 40 s a chiropractor said i bet your not getting migraines anymore and he was right. But now at 73 i m not supposed to ride bike. One day i did and i had a 7 hr migraine. But i did not know much about it. I do yoga so that helps. But lately i go to bed hot inflamed using cold packs and did not know what was happening. I ll follow this guy. He seems so genuine. I hope you find lots of people who can heal you.

Hope you a great week and keep it up!!

[@dionnagriffin-irons6840]

I did this exercise exactly as Dr. Mandell mentioned and my headache went away --it really works. Thank you so much!!

[@67_sh]

This video is absolutely life changing. I’ve practiced yoga regularly which I love and has great benefits, however, it did not help with my neck and upper back stiffness specifically and for very long. Today I followed along and found a huge trigger point in my upper back muscle exactly where Dr Mandell said that his was. I applied pressure to it for 30 seconds released and did it again and what an absolute difference. It’s immediate. I no longer feel stiffness and pain in those muscles. I will see how long this lasts. Last night I did the other exercises from his early morning neck exercise video which takes about 10 minutes and you follow along with him so you get the correct technique. This morning I woke up and did not feel any stiffness in my neck. I am totally gonna incorporate this into my daily routine since I have been diagnosed with “military neck. “ Apparently my neck has an 11.9 degree curvature instead of the normal curvature which I was told should be in the 30 degree range. I have been doing some chiro adjustments, 4 so far, but hope to do 2 adjustments a week, in addition to these stretch and strengthening techniques. Hopefully this continues to release my very stiff neck and back

[@helenuyagu7604]

Oh. Hank you so so much Dr ALAN Mandel. I tried it and got instant relief. Those trigger points are the key to the healing. I applied the pressure and though some were very painful, but I held on the pressure and the pain just vanished from my head. Then I tried it on my shoulder, and again the pain left. I kept remembering you saying it won’t kill me, so I stayed on the pressure. I am really so happy I came across your channel. I’m going to look at the other areas you have posted on. I am 60 and have had these pains and taken so many muscle relaxants and nerve drugs. Thank you again.

I'm crying happy tears, I had such a horrible night again with my neck. I just had epidural steroid injections Friday and physical therapy too. I have a lot going on with myself and could go on and on. I was given a couple pain pills, but I have been sober five years and I always do other things first. Anyway, I was about to call my Dr and I thought no, I've got to try and stretch more or something so I looked on here. With the rotator cuff video oh my goodness some relief, I think mine is stuck, I have a huge knot again on the base where neck and spine meet, that's where I got shots, I have narrowing something, c6 an7, and so much more.

Most of you have already known this, as suggested in the comments below and others I have heard from, know, but to any "newbies", medical doctors sole purpose are to diagnose, fix broken bones and stitch up deep cuts and occasionally surgery WHEN needed! If we were to keep our bodies healthy, away from having inflammatory issues and a leaky gut, which causes more than you may have known, we wouldn't have the problems that most of us have.. we don't have doctors these days that care enough about us instead of the almighty dollar💰! This guy is GREAT! So far, just sitting here watching this video, I've been doing what he is showing us and I'm telling you, OH MY GOSH!!!🎆 Thank you MotivationalDoc! With love, just me!!💚

WHAT'S A LEAKY GUT ??

[@friendfriends2444]

I don't know how I much I can thank you Dr Mendell, I have been on and off therapists for about 2yrs without success because of this. All this points you mentioned are what's going on with me. I was getting ready to get an appointment with the doctor because it was getting worse, I was getting headache and pain when I try to sleep on the left side. May the Lord bless you and protect you with your loved ones.

[@jppra1594]

Thank you, Dr. Mandell! You are such a blessing to us. I shared this not only for us with chronic pain, but also to inform and educate people who do not take chronic pain seriously since they do not see visible symptoms.

[@kathy7546]

My neck pain has been unrelentless and just doing your technique of trigger points have given some relief. Thank you

[@unklemikesplace1900]

Thanks Doc!! I've waited for you, in pain for a couple decades... I can't thank you enough! May God bless the rest of your days, sir!!!

[@elvadrum8539]

I’ve been fortunate to have therapy with osteopathic manipulative medicine for the past six months. I feel so relaxed now. Six months ago I went to urgent care with this painful neck. Treating these pressure points is wonderful. Wonderful advice Doctor. Thank you.

[@sb2333]

Hi Dr. Mandell, thank you for your educational video and your kindness. The trigger points were explained very well. Just now, I massaged the trigger points at the back of my right shoulder at the base of my weak neck, and the obstruction cleared away when I turned my head to the side. Thanks again and God bless you 🙏

[@Danielle-ji2eu]

Amazing... I have been suffering from neck pain for ten years I was actually in pain right now.... and I did what you where showing ... I can’t believe it ... I DON’T feel anything right now. I’ll keep trying this when needed! Thank you very much.

[@laurenliv148]

Are these exercises still working for you ?

[@livefreeordie2413]

God bless you doctor Mandell! After doing this for a few minutes I felt much less pain than after trigger point injections I've received! The room around me actually looked brighter ✨ Unbelievably amazing!! Thank you so much 🙏

[@lornaalfonso7274]

Thank you Dr.Mandell! Thank God for sending you to us!

[@janicecrose376]

Seems like finding an excellent and knowledgeable message therapist would really help Alot!! This is a fantastic video!!!

[@bosvigos9165]

For 6 days I have been suffering with exactly this problem. No sleep, nothing I can take to relieve the pain. Until now! THANK you so very much! What a Godsend you are.

[@moonshine1st]

Wow! This guy really knows his stuff! I've used so many of his techniques and it's REALLY helped me.

[@es6738]

You have no idea how much of a help these videos are. Much appreciated!❤

[@cynthiamaniscalco6972]

I've done this twice over 2 days and my head and neck pain has diminished so much!!! Had to clip and file down my nails though! It was absolutely worth it🙂

[@rebeccabelay8630]

I have been with my neck pain the last four days, and finally, I got the best solution. Dr. Mandell, thank you so much. You are amazing. God bless you more.

[@kimberly1234j]

This was very helpful to me. I have had shoulder and neck pain relieved in the past through pressure point therapy administered by a chiropractor. Just recently I experienced neck and shoulder pain and stiffness again and this video reminded me about the pressure point therapy and what I could do to help myself through it. Thank you Dr. Mandell.

[@timeagyoeri5532]

Oh my god... !! The problems i had about 20 years long are gone! After one time of pushing these points!! Even in my legs, arms, Back, neck, shoulders, had... everywhere! I have already tried everything but nothing helped... until today! Thank God that I found you, dear doc! You saved my life!🙏🙏🙏 I just cannot tell you how thankful I am, that you shared these informations with us all!!🤗🙏🙏🙏 God bless you! I tell you folks, try it and experience wonders😊🤗 Thank you sooooo much!🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗 Greetings from Austria and Hungary 😋

[@brenda1177]

One of my many pain doctors, there is one who has me in tears when he presses on these knots. But I Love that doctor, he has been the only one who actually finds my pains

[@nelumudagama7067]

Bless you Dr. Mandell. You are a blessing to millions of souls seeking healthy lives. A true healer upholding the Hippocratic Oath. Much appreciation and good wishes from far away Sri Lanka. 🙏

[@rachelparker370]

Wow! Yes, 5 years ago this was posted. And it really helped my constant neck and shoulder pain, like immediately. Genuinely awesome.

[@jolieInc.]

This was so helpful. I was in so much pain, words can't describe my gratitude. Thank you so much 💕

[@veronicapearce8746]

I'm so happy that I came across your channel. It's just 1day now but I have learned so much. I've been dealing with chronic neck, shoulder and arm pain for over a year. Been doing exactly what you are teaching in the videos. Time will tell if they work for me. I will update you. Thank You Veronica

[@hugohugo876]

It's been 1year, how about your neck

[@bsbsq109]

What happened with u

[@barbarasnyder7802]

Dr Mandell, you are a sight for sore eyes. I think YOU are a gift from GOD. As soon as you pop up on my iPad ,I stop what I’m doing and pay attention to you as I am so happy to see you. Lately I’ve been following you regularly. The little bit that I have done has made a big difference. I do have a lot of tight muscles all over me. My back, places I can’t even reach ... so I have a small Thera cane hook that I use to reach those spots and they’re really sore but I noticed that I’m getting looser even though I can’t seem to get rid of these painful spasms. yet, this does help & I won’t stop. I’ll keep going with it. I know I need a lot of work. But I can do it for myself now and even though I don’t get all the kinks out there’s a big difference so I will continue with his online until I don’t have to anymore and if I do have to I will continue as long as it takes. Thank you so much God bless you and hugs hugs hugs.

[@darlinggrace2002]

AMAZING! Thanks be to God for you Dr. Mandel. I have been suffering from numbness and arm pain so much so that i cry everytime. But doing the pressing technique in these 3 pressure points gave me instant relief. No more numbness, decreased pain(i will be doing this later) and the realisation that I will have help in the future. More power and God bless always.

[@worldview730]

Wish i had you for my medical provider, I'd be a lot more confident about my health problems. But for now I'll be content and grateful for your you tube contribution(s) to the medical community, bless your mission doc.!! 👍👍👍👍

[@bulwark1984]

God bless you, Dr. Mandell. I felt stiffness in my neck since morning and by applying pressure on the trigger points, its just disappeared. Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to your videos. 👍👍

[@Allahrehemkarde]

Superb....same here

[@harrytassitus8932]

First time anyone (many M.D.'s etc.) explained what is happening to my SCM and inflamed SC joint which swells to 3 times normal. Many pain Dr's are out of touch with the fundamental medicine depicted and explained here. Thanks again.

[@hilmanackiie7275]

Am your new view end am experiencing that pain especially when am looking up it hurts mre

[@yaswanth2024]

Dear sir had been in enormous pain due to muscle crunching and found your video much to my relief, got relief to an extent that I got tears due to the pain relief. Thanks for the knowledge sharing. Good comes back to you sir.

[@janettefindlay8857]

Never have I had such an in-depth explanation of what is going on with my neck and shoulder pain. I will never be able to thank you enough for this video. At 83 yrs of age I can now look forward to each day without feeling sickly, I thank you, thank you so much, I don’t like taking pain killers, I would rather understand and deal with what is going on in the body. I stopped taking Turmeric once I realised it can cause other effects (for me at least). I will now be boring all my friends with the knowledge you have imparted in this video. ❤

[@mikedavis1145]

Thank you doc. These techniques really help me understand what's going on. Pain relief after 7 months of suffering. God bless 😇 this man

Thank you for existing Dr. Alan Mandell !

This video is so helpful, Dr Mandell! I've had very stiff neck pain for 8 mos now and these techniques are fantastic. Thank you!

[@amrishgloria]

Doc, thank you so much! I actually feared to sleep due to chronic migraine headache every morning. wish all docs would be honest like you. I am from India and have watched every video of you (though it's very late) but every bit of information that you have given has changed my life completely. I would like you to guide me if you trained any Indian doc where I could consult him in person.

@@helenjenkinson6913 oh, I can truly understand what you must have gone through, and you are lucky to get the right diagnosis at the right time. Thank you fir sharing your story and concern for me I appreciate it. Unfortunately my doc's haven't seen me from this point of view. But I will surely ask my doc to look from this point of view. Thank you again and wish you a long life too.

[@EllyChoo]

Thank you so much for your very educational, immensely useful, and inspiring videos! We need more doctors like you on this planet!

[@sylviagaston9453]

Doc, my neck pain has brought back my TMJ disorder, been over a week now and it gets better than comes back again once I sit down to look at my computer. I ordered a new cushion and did your exercises. I hope tonight my ears stop clogging and my neck is already feeling better just need my ears to open up from the pressure I am getting throughout the day on and off. Your doorway exercise is the best. Thank you

[@monicas2461]

Thank you so much, doctor! I’ve been taking Tramcet and Voltaren for pain and Travelmin for nausea for years now. I was getting depressed because the pain was getting worse. But by pressing the points while watching I got nauseous, but felt instant relief! I am so grateful for your help. God bless you.

[@monicas2461]

TiGER SHiNKA Hello dear friend. Things do get better. Anything you can do will help. Open your window and look at the sun, even if it is raining or snowing, look outside and forget about all the problems you have inside. I get sad because I keep remembering what went wrong. But try to focus on the nice things that happened. When someone smiled, when you ate something delicious, simple things that should make us happy, but we are too busy worrying about the future or being sad about the past. You are important and you are loved. Do what the doctor told us and try to get better, dear TiGER!

[@monicas2461]

TiGER SHiNKA Hi! I’ve heard a meteorologist say: “the clouds don’t last forever. They can’t because that’s not how atmosphere works”; and I thought of you. I’ve had hard couple days too, but let’s try to remember it’s not going to be bad forever!

[@tamaracashour1682]

A very knowledgeable man and generous with his knowledge. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been around the block trying to solve my neck pain. Traditional MDs snow you with pills and pain relievers and many them have given me alarmingly shocking/ wrong diagnoses that would require me to go under the knife. This is the first I’ve heard of a self-hellp, non-invasive method. I will keep applying his directions, which have helped so far amazingly. Thank you very much

[@vncvenus]

I live with chronic neck pain due to arthritis, congenital cervical disk fusion, bad posture, and chronic neck stiffness from C-PTSD. I don't take medications except ibuprofens, but taken too often I'm afraid I'll damage my kidneys. Lately I've been self massaging and pressing on tender areas that I've now learned ate trigger points. I wanted to make sure I'm not injuring myself and came upon your videos. After watching a few videos, I feel hopeful for a pain-free or greatly reduced and manageable level of pain. Thank you, Doc

[@Johnnybgud3]

Extremely helpful I've had a stiff neck, pain and limited mobility for close to a year and after this video incorporating what ive learned im feeling the difference immediately. Thank you.
