I learned more in 18 minutes of this video than from 8 months of seeing numerous "experts" and "specialists".

[@shawnamoen5026]

I have had this pain for 20 years. Not a single dr has helped me.

[@seshadrisrinivasan5371]

Maybe they have no solution If given what will happen to Pharma industry and medical profession

[@rosannaburgess714]

😂 so have I! So this is why I sak my doctor, " why did you want to become a doctor why you don't know what's going on with your patient?"

[@russhenry8112]

The most thorough and common sense explanation ever👍

[@dianafleetwood6154]

What ive learned in life is no one wants to be wrong. Especially a doctor😂. The chiropractic field is so underrated as most drs seem to think it is not significant to the patient. WHY?? Because there is no medication or surgical situations involved. Please.. Please do your body and life a favor and find a reputable doctor. The spine is the most important map system to your body right up there with vascular. Thank you doctor it is very true... "The more you know".. Knowledge is truly power.

[@grantog123]

Chiropractors don't solve the long-term problem of muscle imbalance that affects the bones. You have to keep going back. But they can provide significant temporary relief.

[@MrDubyadee1]

Thank you! I finally found the name for my most pressing problem. I've described the symptoms to multiple doctors and have told them what I thought it was (I seem to be right), but the GPs never diagnosed the problem. They scratched their heads, took measurements of nerve transmission in my legs and did an XRay of my spine, but nothing. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome as you described it perfectly matches my experience. I have very flat feet and I've walked very long distances for years until this problem cropped up. Well it was sort of progressive starting with pain on the bottom of my feet. I'll be taking this to my GP next week and - from what I gathered from this video - will ask for a referral to a podiatrist.

[@juliehorvath09]

I’m glad I live 19 miles away from your office. Obviously I live in NJ. I have an appointment next week on August 6th. But I don’t have the appointment with you Dr. but with another doctor. I took the first available appointment. All the doctors I’m sure are excellent there from all the great reviews I read last week. I’m so glad I found about you because of youtube.

I went to an Acupuncturist who was highly recommended by a lot of people I know. She was amazing. After my first visit with her she told me a few problems she noticed during her examination. Three visits later, I had no more tingling in my legs and feet, not more back pain and even noticed I slept a lot better at night. I go for tune ups every three months and follow for the most part, eating patterns she suggested and what foods to eat less of. No big changes, but ones that actually made sense and helped. i wish I had known about her years earlier. Sadly, I can't get Medicare to help pay for it, but they do pay for BS medical care I got from Dr's who did me no good.

[@mariceldb2990]

Who is she? In what state are you or that acupuncturist? Care to share?

[@samkitty5894]

Were you able to walk before this?

[@godovermoney1124]

You're surprised? It's all a big racket. Big pharma & the "medical" community

[@craigkeller]

I have watched a lot of videos in an effort to understand my injuries. This is the Best analysis period. Thank you 🙏!

[@willroche6691]

This is probably the best video i have seen on what I believe i have. I just went to spinal specialist and now scheduled for epidural in L5-S1. Symptoms are heavy legs with occasional vibration feeling in upper right thigh. Both feet have tingling.

[@lynetteprice8519]

Do you know what that "heavy" leg feeling is attributed to? I have that but not numbness

[@RosaKroczka]

I'm having my foot 🦶 pain I'm old 88n ken do tu mach Take pill 💊 en try to wok not sitting to much

[@marcydobbs1653]

Extremely interesting and pertinent to my current situation. Neurophathy is an added diagnosis to sciatica. You've given me much to discuss with my doctors. Thank you.

[@KeepingFaith4ever]

I've been telling my neuro there's something wrong with my back since my surgery. It's been many years since my surgery, but my foot is so numb and getting worse. I can feel the circulation being cut off, but all I got was that there was no nerve damage. I've learned a lot from this video than I ever did listening to other doctors. Your great

[@mampekhaebana-tlhapi5862]

Great information.. I have a problem with pinched nerve in my lower spine and have burning nerve pains in my my bums down my legs and feet! I've found this video extremely helpful.

[@angelasellers]

Thank you for excellent explanation - detailed and thorough. Love the past case examples.

[@GoldmanSachs7]

Brilliant take and analysis of PN…what clarity of thought and knowledge

[@geoffreysomething6658]

thank you so much for all your support i have been going through a lot of pain in the ball of my feet i can berley walk some days your information will help me so much from australia

[@budgreen100]

Great 👍🏽 information, and amazing presentation! Really enjoyed your practical breakdown and of how you think about your diagnosis. I’ve been a massage therapist for 29 years, and feel those were all great angles to explore.

[@user-gw7uf7qy6p]

Excellent insight analysis of the tingling and foot numbness and thought for a new approach to whole thought of treatments and modern access. Thank you Dr. Grant for your great presentation.

[@Christopher-dd3dg]

Thank you for a highly informative video presented in a way that is easy to understand. I especially found the information about double crush syndrome and the importance of the electromyography test helpful.

[@elsiesalcedo9478]

This presentation is awesome and very instructive as I'm going to a Neuro for the first time and I do feel like I have two separate things going on at the same time. Thanks Dr. as I feel so more informed.

[@Sam-uk4bb]

This taught me so much about leg numbness and double crush syndrome. Thank you!!

[@salahahmad6515]

Legendary informative video. Thank you doctor. I have learned a lot about my peripheral neuropathy.

[@le832]

This is very thorough and helpful! Thank you. I do have tingling on the top of the foot and I periodically have had pain in my knees. Also I have flat feet.

[@wendybakker504]

Great video with a lot of good information. The current wait time for EMG testing in Niagara and the closest main city is 4-6 months.

[@Horizon3165]

Thank you so ever much for this priceless video. I have watched many videos on neuropathy and found this one the most helpful of all. Thanks again.

[@mariomartellacci9462]

A well thought out, interesting and very informative presentation. I will keep this information in mind the next time I visit my provider with some type of pain issue(s)...

[@katblank8555]

Absolutely fabulous explanation and education on this subject! Thank you. Your video has helped me on my journey to figure out what's causing my neuropathy symptoms. I just really wish you were my doctor!!!

[@kpatel7995]

Outstanding Informative video,Amazing presentation. Thanks for bringing this wonderful video to us.

[@binashanbhag7600]

Thanks a lot Dr for taking so much efforts in explaining the causes of foot numbness and tingling. Honestly appreciate it. I learnt a lot from your video. I am 68 yrs old and from India.

[@billrobbins5874]

67 from WA State.

[@Jen0714]

Neither of you are 'old!'

[@beabrown5778]

I learned a lot of my issues with back and pain running down from my bottom to the back of my foot and under my foot. If I massage under my foot, ankle and from heel up to back of knee I will get relieve. Some times I experienced burning sensation of the foot. Thank you for this video. I planned to look at it and taken notes to discuss with my doctor. Thank you for this educational video.

[@jitendramalde739]

Dr, you have educated us with proper explanation. Thanks a lot.

[@barbaramurray5332]

This video has helped me to understand about my feet pain.Good information.

[@hodahabachi9488]

Thanks a lot for these very clear and detailed explanations. I have excruciating pain and tingling in the groin and bottom of my feet , which get better when I sit down. Now it makes sense that it’s coming from my back as I have spondylolithesis LV3/LV4 through LV/S1.

[@marykarim6430]

Dr. Cooper is amazing. Thank you, doc.

[@manfredthewonderdog]

Thank you. You've given me more answers than anyone else. And much to think about. Being told we don't know why Is very discouraging So again,, thank you

[@rickdrewer6427]

Thank you for this detailed account and the information. Much appreciated. Downunder, South Australia

[@beverlydinofer6603]

Absolutely the BEST and most informative presentation I have heard and seen since I started needing to find answers to the tingling and numbness in my feet. I have been treated for pain which I do not experience and no one listens to my complaints of numbness and tingling. Thank you.

[@elsiesalcedo9478]

I too do not have pain so everyone looks at me like I have three heads when describing my symptoms. I hope you are feeling better.

[@balbirrehal2622]

Thanks very informative video. This is great advice for my sciatica pain treatment. God bless 🙏

[@harisarvotham5662]

Superb analysis and explanation. Thank you Dr.

Thank you very much Dr Copper. I have learnt a lot from your video.

[@rebeccaflores2118]

Thank you. I have both hand and feet neuropathy. Just felt it. I had Laminectomy last n 2001. Now, i cannot walk properly. It just happen. I was dancing then I went down on the floor. I have been on self medication I learned from you tube. B12, b complex with vit e? Turmeric, magnesium, calcium and zinc. Gabapentin. I am 78 yrs old today and having massage therapy but no change yet. Thank you and Gob bless you more.

[@ashok1goodlife]

Doc, you're such a ⭐! Do continúe to shine with your amazing work

[@emmtee227]

Best information I’ve found! Thank you!

[@bonitagoodman4526]

Everything that you have explained in this video speaks to all of the issues that I'm having and I haven't had a doctor to explain it in this way. So far, all they have wanted to give me is injections and medication to the point that I refuse to get them anymore because it has not stopped the pain. I honestly do not think they really know how to deal with the issues that I am having. I will continue to follow you to get some clarity with diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for having this platform.

[@barbaradelacy6109]

I've had tingling in my legs for approximately 10 years. 9 months ago my legs and feet started to stop functioning normally. A neurologist has diagnosed me with Cerabella atrophy. It's worth including this as it wasn't mentioned. Otherwise excellent information.

[@samkitty5894]

How do you get around?

[@spotlight1220]

Excellent! Stretching and Massage, Massage, Massage work like a miracle ❤️

[@megibatsa925]

How long did it take for tingling to go away? I have cervical and lower back issues, gone to physio for 2 weeks now, my neck feel better, the tingling leg is still here? i also do at home stretching exercises , some of the days i feel them less, and others more, I dont know what should I do anymore

Very impressive and useful talk

[@elsagoriva2503]

Thank so much, super great educational information. 😊

[@ALYoung-wj8td]

Thank you that made alot sense to me. I started getting numbness from my low back to my foot on one side several years ago.. but not often just once in awhile. Now it's my lower back, down my legs all the way down to my feet. Whether I'm walking or sitting or anything. I'm thinking the numbness and pain stuff could be helped. My dr referred me to a specialist. I don't feel like I want to spend the rest of my life this way. I'm 64 and don't see anything golden about these years!! Thank u so much

[@AsimKhan-wx3ws]

To understand and cure the problem, is a lifetime problem. What the Doctor is not saying directly: LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.

[@sl2608]

He treated the patient with an epidural and fixed the problem.

[@stevewilson3791]

For a moment

[@brikeclark4546]

Brilliant explanation, thank you

Thanks for your clear explanation

[@customizedhealthsolutions2400]

[@mariceldb2990]

Right now, while listening to your lecture, am feeling tingling and slight numbness on my right foot. Maybe walking a bit is needed.

[@ratnayuana9815]

Thankyou Dr. Grant Cooper.. It's really help🙏

[@aliciawinstead3101]

Thank you so much, you explained everything. I mind was racing, thinking I was going to have my foot amputated. I'm so happy I came across your video. Thank you Thank you thank you

[@stephaniegriffith9501]

Very informative video I learned a lot

[@jerrylrchandler942]

Excellent summary of anatomy in relation to functionality and clinical consequences relevant to therapy>. Thank you for carefully organizing the potential cause-effect relationships. This video helped clarify both the historical origins of my bizarre symptoms and the equally bizarre conseuqnecs of attempted therapies recommended for them. Your wisdom was and is deeply appreciated. I would add that soaking my feet in warm water was an effective adjunct to other perturbents of normal functions. ☺☺☺

[@stevedonnatvcanada3480]

I’m glad I found your channel and this video. I’m experiencing numbness and pain from butt down to big toe I had a hemmoraghic stroke in June 2022 I’m walking again but this pain started after I got back on my feet about 3 mths later. I’m in Canada. The wait time to see a doctor like you is long. Up to a year or more. TOO LONG. In the time I’m waiting to see doc Feb 2024- I’m doing a lot of research on how to help fix this. I wish I was closer to you.

[@PrincetonSpineJointCenter]

I’m sorry to hear all of that. What you might do is start some gentle exercises for your back and see if that is helpful. Waiting a year to see a doctor is way too long. Hang in there.

[@yslv4youlo144]

Very useful, thank you!

[@davidgaither9472]

Thanks for great info very helpful

[@1111guru]

I’m so happy I found this video. I do have L5 issues and have had many sessions or Spinal decompression sessions and I think it’s time to go back for more.

[@duttab1103]

Excellent video Doc, explained in a very simple way for a layman like me, incidentally I was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis of L4-L5n and L5-S1 and at stage 1. Used to experience some of these challenges that and fortunately with a series of regular exercise, it is now managed.

[@madhoonaidu]

What are those exercises?

[@kamaljitsinghboparai3060]

Kindly tell me the exercise for the same

[@shirleyaquart7556]

This was really helpful for me thank you so much

[@annewalker2848]

Excellent. Thank you so much. The best explanation ever.

[@user-ex1jm7ml8s]

Very helpful as i have the double crush syndrome. Have been putting off the. Tarsal tunnel and am getting an epidural.. this gives me hope!!

[@Prendergastification]

Well Done. I have a lot to study here.

[@user-yq8ck8yf3u]

Good information I've learned some more. There are other sites where rebuilding the nerves are part of the focus. Probably in other videos here as well. The Nerve Doctors are good as an extension to broadening the personnel knowledge base as I'm finding here.

[@EthelLipschultz]

Wow, how interesting. I have Carpol Tunnel with both hands.i wake up with my hands being numb. Thank you so much. I learned a lot from your video. I wish all the Orthos and Podietist would learn this info.

[@jenniferannedaviesdavies8696]

Useful information.

[@johnleemisiuepa8221]

Good job doc thank you for that appreciated.

[@jcoops100]

Very interesting and informative

[@estheredouard4695]

Excellent information on Peripheral Neuropathy.

[@JP-uw3im]

My feet and leg numbness started two days after I had my 2nd Astra Zeneka covid jab in April 2021 and have not been right since. I had conducive tests and was told I do not have peripheral neuropathy and eventually the numbness should go. Well, I’m still waiting!!

[@josebonilla4785]

Great explanation. Cauda equina of the spine caused by very heavy lifting in my job.had emergency surgery four years ago. I have peripheral neuropathy in my left foot numbness tingling can't move toes tried everything and exercises every day since spine op four years ago. Cauda equina is extremely rare.surgeon relieved my pain and I was lucky got in time only just as could have been left in a wheelchair. Wish though I could get rid of symptoms I have.this doc described peripheral neuropathy very well one last thing feels I have crumpled up sock under foot

[@marydomianczuk3586]

Just great message 😊

[@grandmajane2593]

Thank you for the information. I have leg and foot tingling occasionally. I'm trying to figure out why. It looks like a complicated situation.

[@arshadna]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been suffering from these symptoms for more than a year, and although I had an idea it was from the spine (as I have the disc herniations), things are so much clearer to me now, and I understand what my next steps need to be.
