Well I see him thanking people for their comments but I don't see him answering questions like I posted I hope he will see it and respond to it no guarantees in life. Yes it was a long and difficult question maybe he's afraid to answer it but he could give me his opinion it's just an opinion not a fact. I hope I hear from him.
Thanks so much for this helpful and most informative information. I'm 61 yo female suffering with severe neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, and numbness/ burning/ tingling in hands and fingers. Have had 5 lower back surgeries so learning these exercises is very beneficial. Again thanks for your time for teaching. I appreciate it very much. God bless. JudyfromGa 😊
I have learned more from you than my GP. Currently in physical therapy and even they don't explain as much as you. Thank you! Glad I found you on TH-cam.
I've just been diagnosed with C V at 56 probably due to my poor posture and my 35 year career as a plumbing and heating engineer. I've been to see spinal surgeon and done plenty of research but your explanation has given me the best understanding of exactly what's going on and what best I can do, i also feel a bit more positive for my future. So thankyou for this video.
@@DrRowe please help I have been to many doctors for this issue plus a pinched nerve also concussion from a car accident some days are good and bad and physical therapy twice a week for this is a lot I still have issues with headaches and can’t sleep on either side please help!!
I have seen your video and done the stretches. I have been suffering from neck stiffness every day for the past month, but it got relieved. Thank you, doctor, I feel so indebted to you
Thank you Dr.Rowe. I did same exercises in the physiotherapy with lots of money.I have been suffering neck to hand pain more than 2 years. Finally with these exercises, vitamin D and more water taking helps to reduce pain and neck & shoulder stiffness.
I just turned 40, but been diagnosed with arthritis for few years now. Symptoms are getting worse quickly. I been told that I may have spinal stenosis, I am afraid of aging because I know that it will only get worse. I am not a smoker or drinker, just a history of hard work, injury and stress accelerated the deterioration of my physical body.
I've been studying reflexology for years and massaging my body for hours on a night but I still have spinal problems. This video is brilliant and from now on I'll do the recommended exercises. Thanks
Im 59 years old, ive been diagnosed with spondolosis, its so scary, until the day i brought an inversion table. I have never felt better, to me, its a miracle, i swear by it!
Good morning. Dr. Rowe lam a patient of lumber cervical spondylosis for nine years and l have been following advices from doctors And it has helped me a lot And you have just added more knowledge to my recovery. Thank you doctor for the work you doing,may God bless you abundantly
hello! a similar thing has happened to me. Did you recover? what steps did you take to improve it. And how long did it take to improve this. Asking this because I have gotten the same condition and really worried about how long will it take to improve. Thanks a lot in advance.
@@AkshdeepSinghoney Hello, I still have days where I’m in pain but things aren’t as bad as when I left this comment. The #1 thing I did was work on my posture since I work at a desk, in front of a computer and have a bad habit of slouching. I also started using electric heating pad whenever I feel the pain starting to flare up in my neck. I also sleep with a contoured neck pillow at night. These three things helped the most for me.
Thank you Dr for your videos. Im near 61, but have worked pretty physical jobs and tried to remain athletic through the years. The last few years I have begun to have stiffness and some pain down the left back side of the neck in to the shoulder and part of the arm. Your tips have helped to give the neck and shoulder some looseness and pain relief.
Hello Dr. Michael Rowe please 🙏🏾 i will thank you so much if you make a full video about Ankylosing spondylitis i will appreciate so much thank you Dr. Take good care of yourself always God bless you and God bless all your family 🙏🏾
Thank youndoc it helps a lot your exercises im 72 years old and lve been having this pain for long time thsnk you and see more of your videos GOD bless you
Spondylosis and bone spurs are a bone remodeling disease. Some AS moves very quickly - a few years. It’s also related to Kibselia bacteria. Also being too thin can cause spondylosis. Since there is less support from muscles.
I'm 27 and suffering almost for 3years ...it's getting worst ... I'm tired with sharp pain, popping , tear sound and swollen ..always stiffness in upper back .. ..
Same but I am getting better. I am not a doctor. I noticed my posture was horrible and started paying attention to how I was standing or sitting. I watched a few too many videos and now I am saving up for a shikibuton and a kotatsu. I have the plans for a platform bed and I think there will be plenty of room for storage, or the dogs new nap spot.. its yet to be determined. Anyway you can check out world back injury rates and I will save you the trouble.In japan, most people sit on the floor, sometimes with flat cushions. The also sleep on the floor, with straw mats under something like a super thick quilt. I am going to give it a try. At least its less expensive than a 'good' mattress. It seems there is a learning curve to sitting on the floor. I had my neck get much worse but I think its getting much better now. Stretching is helping, I have trouble not overdoing it and spent a few bad says thinking my head might actually fall off. Atlas problems are scary.
One thing that seems to help a lot is range of motion stretching, real slow and easy still sounds like rice crispies. Feels weird too, sometimes bad sometimes good. I guess it spent a lot of years in the wrong spot so I don't push it
Hi Dr Rowe, I am 66 and was extremely fit up to August 2022. In the last 10 years I was hit by cars twice while riding my push bike. These events caused multiple fractures and whiplash. As of last year my neck started to hurt a bit and over the last 8 months I have been getting worse and the pain is chronic. My pain management doctor keeps prescribing Nortriptyline which is not helping at all with the pain. He even increased the dose, but it isn't helping. The accident insurance won't cover physiotherapy or chiropractor. I have tried hot and cold packs, going for gentle walks, riding the exercise bike at home but I don't seem to improve. I told my doctor that I feel that I have cervical spondylosis and asked him to do new imaging but he replied that there is no need for imaging. The pain is also felt in my groin and feet. Since I am very inflamed, are these stretches safe to do? My neck is very stiff. Thank you.
Hello doctor,Having this for 4 years I'm 37 yrs old,i have dizziness every day,out of balance ,pain in my neck everyday,,I will do this exercise even im dizzy . 🙏
Thanks doc!! Well done, very simple and easy to understand. I’ve had this since I was 23, at-least when I was diagnosed. I’m 36 and it’s gotten a lot worse.
I’m crying as I type this comment. Thank you so much for making this video. My xray showed that I have a mild degenerative changes in my C5-C6 and been suffering from sharp pain on my neck, between my shoulder and neck, my upper and midlle back and around my elbows. Ibuprofen 800 mg isn’t helping. I will start doing these exercises diligently today and see if it can help me. I am only 29 years old. My work is repetitive and never have I imagined that I will experience this. Thank you so much.
I was Diagnosed this today what started off as tingling and numbness in the hands 1 1/2 years ago till pain in right elbow all the way to shoulder blade

Hello Dr. Rowe. I am 30, Male and I usually have pain in the neck. This causes pain in the forehead area and at times near the eye socket. It makes me feel dizzy and at times I feel like vomiting. Please advise what diagnosis is required to know the problem.
Hi Dr. I suffered from cervical spondolysis. How do I get the right treatment. It get painful especially when I catch cold. Thank you in advance for your help. Maria from 🇳🇦
thanyou doctor. it feels good. hmm. bcoz its been many nyts that i cant sleep bcoz for what i feel when i'm sleeping there is feeling that eletricity from.my neck to back of the head that is waking me up. and little bit of dizziness and headache. bcoz i really crack my neck often so i think that was it the pain and dizziness in my head. thankyou doctor i feel good to this. God bless you.
Hello Doctor. I have been diagnosed with Cervical spondylitis so In addition to neck pains and my left arm pains. I also have recently developed a serious pain on my left leg. Could the CS be responsible for this and what should I do? Thanks
The leg pain would not be directly caused by cervical issues. This would be most likely a lumbar (lower back) problem, such as a lumbar disc herniation. Get it checked out by your doctor or chiropractor, since this is a new issue and needs attention.
For a severe case, what will happen if i dont opt for a surgery and do your recommended stretches? Appreciate your response. Stay safe Doc and thank you
By your video about sciatica i have solved my over 2,5 year suffering. Also when i run about 7 km, my lower spine gets some kind of smooth and then i bend down i fill some kind of "cracking voices " and my spibe becomes flexible and strong again, For about 3 hours. Now i will try this axcersises for i have necknpein from my right shoulder, since i crushed down while skying in 2016.
Watching your videos from India & You're doing God's work. I'm 26 & I have neck pain most of times, nowdays even while I'm not working on computer. My MRI report says - Disc dessication noted at C5-C6 & C6-C7 Level. - Small Posterior osteophytes disc complex noted at C5-C6 level. Can you tell me is this video & Its exercises are right for me? & can you suggest some more link of your videos regarding my issue. I also face tingling & numbness in my hands especially the left one while I use my phone laying on bed & also faces muscle twitching on hips, back calf, biceps etc sometimes during the day & night. And also headache sometimes mild to moderate. Thanks again!

I have stenosis and spondylthesis in C5, 6 and 7. I can turn my neck into any of those positions but the problem is that if I do any kind of neck stretching exercises of this type, the following day my neck is so agitated as if the cells are vibrating, it's hard to describe the symptom but it also makes me have emotional rage.
Im 30 and i feel an excruciating pain in my left upper back side that runs to the side of my neck.I had to hold my neck when the pain strikes. My left arm and hand are tingling also. I went to a physical therapist and diagnosed me with myofascial pain syndrome . I have therapy twice a week and next week will be my 6th and last session. The pain has lessen but it ddnt goes away completely,I can still feel the throbbing pain most especially when am laying down.The doctor said I have to see an OB or oncologist if their is no improvement after session which scares me a lot.He is suspecting a possible heart problem or cancer which i dont believe . I think the one shown on this video is what I am suffering right now.
I am feeling a lot better now but I still get that throbbing pain between my shoulder blade that radiates to my chest and this usually happens if I do strenuous activities.I had an echocardiogram test and my heart is just fine.Whenever I feel that my shoulders tight I just do some stretching ,massage and apply hot compress.I avoid stress as much as possible cos I noticed it cause burning sensation in my back to my shoulder.Hard for me to get an appointment to a physical therapist again cos it would require me to travel far and expensive.I live offgrid so doing home remedies is my only resort.
Dr Rowe, are these exercises aimed at just relieving pain or will these also stall further degeneration of the spine? Please suggest how to stop further degeneration?
I was diagnosed with this at the age of 29..i am now 30 years old..I have symptoms such as constant neck pain, nausea, vertigo, tinnitus, and shakiness..are these symptoms which I am feeling related to C.S?
Hi, are spinal decompression treatments gentle? I learn so much from your vlogs and happy I found this one as an MRI shows I have Anterior C4-C5 spondylolisthesis without spondylolysis and am looking for some healing modality. thank you!!!! Wish I lived near by
I have cervical spondylitis and at times are in agony with it. And apart from my visits to chiro practers and exercises and painkillers for overall OA nothing else has been suggested. When my neck cracks it provides relief...and comes on with exercise ( the cracking) it's painful and came about via intense headaches. An MRI scan detected it. I'm interested in learning all I can because after seeing a neurologist several years ago, and being given painkillers there is not a lot known about it. I also have generalised osteo arthritis and because of previous DVTs in my ankles, lemurs both sides of body and lung the risks operations would provide is rare as in not many surgeons would look at my situation. Years with these conditions have all led to overall body muscle weakness and with no ops available at this time and being 66 I don't feel optimistic about my future life care under NHS practises. One recent hospital visit was because I couldn't stop my body from contorting and also felt like I was being strangled ( like the back of my neck was in a vice) panicking as I couldn't breathe either led me to ringing thr wrong authorities for help. I live alone with a pet...and the ambulance crew took all my stats and found them to be compromised leading to a stay in hospital. I also have diabetes 2 and had not been eating correctly then due to going through a bereavement process, loss of my late mum. I'm eating OK now though and monitoring blood sugars...but still feeling fatigued. This I find is the OA making me feel worn out. What I'm finding is labelling and that's easy to do. What I need is more constructive guidance to what is going on. Thank you for this video 😊
Twisting is the most “expensive” movement of the spine. My experience is to improve stability not mobility. Chin tucks are safe and if you want to work on lateral motion do isometrics only.
Hello Doctor, your observation and advise would really be appreciated. I have had gastritis and hyper acidity for some time. also since last year I have started to face difficulty swallowing and pain in throat and chest. Please advise if the pain and narrowing of the throat is due Cervical Spondylosis or is it due to due to some other reason.
I'm an 18 year old girl with cervical spondylitis..🙂💔 im not able to attend classes properly even for a 5 minutes.....seeked so many medical assistance...like homeopathy... ayurvedic... English...etc..🙂💔stil the pain is tooo high...and now its getting worse toooo.... 💔

Schmorl's node at the inferior endplate of D11. Mild disc bulge at D1-D2 causing anterior thecal sac indentation. Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy at D10-D11 causing posterior thecal sac indentation. Lumbar spine: Modic changes noted at inferior end plate of L3. Schmorl's node seen at inferior end plate of L1, both end plate of L2, L4, superior end plate of L3. Loss of central T2 hyperintensity of IV discs s/o dessication is noted at all levels. Diffuse disc bulge causing anterior thecal sac indentation at L2-L3. Diffuse disc bulge causing bilateral mild neural foramina narrowing at L3-L4. Diffuse disc bulge causing bilateral moderate neural foramina narrowing at L4-L5. Diffuse disc bulge causing posterior annular tear, moderate spinal canal narrowing and bilateral mild neural foraminal narrowing at L5-S1 We really need your suggestion, my mother is experiencing unbearable pain(neck moments are restricted, Pain in both left and right hands)

Hi Dr Rowe, I am 66 and was extremely fit up to August 2022. In the last 10 years I was hit by cars twice while riding my push bike. These events caused multiple fractures and whiplash. As of last year my neck started to hurt a bit and over the last 8 months I have been getting worse and the pain is chronic. My pain management doctor keeps prescribing Nortriptyline which is not helping at all with the pain. He even increased the dose, but it isn't helping. The accident insurance won't cover physiotherapy or chiropractor. I have tried hot and cold packs, going for gentle walks, riding the exercise bike at home but I don't seem to improve. I told my doctor that I feel that I have cervical spondylosis and asked him to do new imaging but he replied that there is no need for imaging. The pain is also felt in my groin and feet. Since I am very inflamed, are these stretches safe to do? My neck is very stiff. Thank you.
Please go find another doctor. Your doctor is not caring for you. I had to go to 2 spine doctors that listened to me & treated me accordingly.
I hope u get help im in pain but used to it. Yours soubds worse than mine!! Mine was basically whiplash as well.

Good
Thanks a lot. My upper neck arthrosis pain is gone....
Hello Doctor. I have been diagnosed with Cervical spondylitis so In addition to neck pains and my left arm pains. I also have recently developed a serious pain on my left leg. Could the CS be responsible for this and what should I do? Thanks
The leg pain would not be directly caused by cervical issues. This would be most likely a lumbar (lower back) problem, such as a lumbar disc herniation. Get it checked out by your doctor or chiropractor, since this is a new issue and needs attention.
For a severe case, what will happen if i dont opt for a surgery and do your recommended stretches? Appreciate your response. Stay safe Doc and thank you
I did a little exercise and I feel a lot of relief,
By your video about sciatica i have solved my over 2,5 year suffering. Also when i run about 7 km, my lower spine gets some kind of smooth and then i bend down i fill some kind of "cracking voices " and my spibe becomes flexible and strong again, For about 3 hours. Now i will try this axcersises for i have necknpein from my right shoulder, since i crushed down while skying in 2016.
Simple exercise. Works well. Thanks
Glad to hear the exercises are helping, and thanks so much for watching!
Great video. Appreciate this so much right now. Just did it and it felt and still feels great.
Great to hear you're getting relief!
These r stretches i learned in phys thrrapy. Except the last 2 im going to add those!! Doing them consistently tho is wat i need to do
Watching your videos from India & You're doing God's work. I'm 26 & I have neck pain most of times, nowdays even while I'm not working on computer. My MRI report says
- Disc dessication noted at C5-C6 & C6-C7 Level.
- Small Posterior osteophytes disc complex noted at C5-C6 level.
Can you tell me is this video & Its exercises are right for me? & can you suggest some more link of your videos regarding my issue. I also face tingling & numbness in my hands especially the left one while I use my phone laying on bed & also faces muscle twitching on hips, back calf, biceps etc sometimes during the day & night. And also headache sometimes mild to moderate. Thanks again!
Mee too at the age 26

Thanks for watching!
I have stenosis and spondylthesis in C5, 6 and 7. I can turn my neck into any of those positions but the problem is that if I do any kind of neck stretching exercises of this type, the following day my neck is so agitated as if the cells are vibrating, it's hard to describe the symptom but it also makes me have emotional rage.
Thank you so much for these exercises, I am going to do them daily, so grateful x
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Thank you doctor . Very good explanation .God bless you ,!🇺🇸🇨🇷

Im 30 and i feel an excruciating pain in my left upper back side that runs to the side of my neck.I had to hold my neck when the pain strikes. My left arm and hand are tingling also. I went to a physical therapist and diagnosed me with myofascial pain syndrome . I have therapy twice a week and next week will be my 6th and last session. The pain has lessen but it ddnt goes away completely,I can still feel the throbbing pain most especially when am laying down.The doctor said I have to see an OB or oncologist if their is no improvement after session which scares me a lot.He is suspecting a possible heart problem or cancer which i dont believe . I think the one shown on this video is what I am suffering right now.
How are you now..what was that ...are you ok please reply
I am feeling a lot better now but I still get that throbbing pain between my shoulder blade that radiates to my chest and this usually happens if I do strenuous activities.I had an echocardiogram test and my heart is just fine.Whenever I feel that my shoulders tight I just do some stretching ,massage and apply hot compress.I avoid stress as much as possible cos I noticed it cause
burning sensation in my back to my shoulder.Hard for me to get an appointment to a physical therapist again cos it would require me to travel far and expensive.I live offgrid so doing home remedies is my only resort.
@@Maddygeng-z2x is there anything serious
@@Maddygeng-z2x what was that problem any doctor recognise the reason behind that
Thank u🙂 GOD BLESS U😇

Dr Rowe, are these exercises aimed at just relieving pain or will these also stall further degeneration of the spine? Please suggest how to stop further degeneration?
I was diagnosed with this at the age of 29..i am now 30 years old..I have symptoms such as constant neck pain, nausea, vertigo, tinnitus, and shakiness..are these symptoms which I am feeling related to C.S?
shakimess like fasciculations(twitching)?
Thank you very much doctor I am from Nepal

Hi, are spinal decompression treatments gentle? I learn so much from your vlogs and happy I found this one as an MRI shows I have Anterior C4-C5 spondylolisthesis without spondylolysis and am looking for some healing modality. thank you!!!! Wish I lived near by
I have this disease and the 5 car accidents I've been in made this disease even worse. Do I need to seek a Chiropractor for help???
🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you Dr. Rowe

I have cervical spondylitis and at times are in agony with it. And apart from my visits to chiro practers and exercises and painkillers for overall OA nothing else has been suggested. When my neck cracks it provides relief...and comes on with exercise ( the cracking) it's painful and came about via intense headaches. An MRI scan detected it. I'm interested in learning all I can because after seeing a neurologist several years ago, and being given painkillers there is not a lot known about it. I also have generalised osteo arthritis and because of previous DVTs in my ankles, lemurs both sides of body and lung the risks operations would provide is rare as in not many surgeons would look at my situation. Years with these conditions have all led to overall body muscle weakness and with no ops available at this time and being 66 I don't feel optimistic about my future life care under NHS practises. One recent hospital visit was because I couldn't stop my body from contorting and also felt like I was being strangled ( like the back of my neck was in a vice) panicking as I couldn't breathe either led me to ringing thr wrong authorities for help. I live alone with a pet...and the ambulance crew took all my stats and found them to be compromised leading to a stay in hospital. I also have diabetes 2 and had not been eating correctly then due to going through a bereavement process, loss of my late mum. I'm eating OK now though and monitoring blood sugars...but still feeling fatigued. This I find is the OA making me feel worn out. What I'm finding is labelling and that's easy to do. What I need is more constructive guidance to what is going on. Thank you for this video 😊
Twisting is the most “expensive” movement of the spine. My experience is to improve stability not mobility. Chin tucks are safe and if you want to work on lateral motion do isometrics only.
Wats isometric?
THanks for the info. And tips. Done watching and subscribed
Thanks so much for the sub, I appreciate it!
Hello Doctor, your observation and advise would really be appreciated. I have had gastritis and hyper acidity for some time. also since last year I have started to face difficulty swallowing and pain in throat and chest. Please advise if the pain and narrowing of the throat is due Cervical Spondylosis or is it due to due to some other reason.
