Thank you so much for this video Dr. Davis! I just came across you and at 13 minutes into the video I had to pause it and bust out crying. This is me! Getting to the point of giving up! So much pain, sick of laying on the couch, get up do stuff, all pain comes back! WTF?! I need to figure this out so I can get back to normal and I have been entirely doubting that it will ever be possible. Thank you for you!
Get a referral from your GP to see a Spinal Surgeon who will send you for an MRI and let you know your options. Im choising Discectomy Surgery Im 62 will let you know how I go ☺️
@@AG-nn8lp I had to fix my feet as well, in order to fix my hip, which was torquing my back. I’m well now. Took a little retraining, feet exercises and new shoes, but it literally changed everything. It can be done!
Finding the golden zone is indeed what Ive been trying for months now. Getting real good indicators from your videos though what too look for and what to avoid, very grateful for that!
Id love to know Dr Davis opinion on Discectomy Surgery. I have had Sciatica for a year and half I have a herniated disc at L4/L5 and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Im 62. Im just about to see a Spinal Surgeon in a Public Hospital as Ive been given options to have a Steroidal Injection or Discectomy by a different Surgeon who only works on private Insurance patients which I couldnt afford.
I so needed to hear this! Thank you. I was shocked to realize I’m currently in the ‘brain fear of re-injury’ phase. This video message has given me the courage to work through my injury so my muscles don’t atrophy. My mom did that and she is now 86 with scoliosis.
Great video, he's definitely right, back injuries take forever to heal. I've had sciatica for almost 8 months im now able walk long distances without much pain, before I could bearily walk to the bathroom due to lower back pain and sciatica due to disc herniation. Definitely can't over do it but also can't lay in bed all day either
A quick question I had an X-ray done. However, Ive yet had Mri performed. In their findings, they stated that there was loss of disc height In Lfive s one. With bony end plate changes. The radiologist did not tell me much about this. I am 41 years old, and I'm still trying to figure out what all that means.
These things are super common and I'd be happy to give you individual advice and a breakdown of what's going on, but I can't do it without having a real conversation so if you're interested watch the masterclass first, then book a call and I'd be happy to help! www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Thank you so much for this information🙏I have had low back pain for over,40 years now,and i have tried like you said, EVERYTHING😥Now im on my own!No Dr,'s had helped me!I dont have any more money to use on this so im alone and just trying to do my best...,but i can only say this:Im so tired,and the pain is grusom😓Im don with most thing...,and now im just takeing one day at a time...
Did you get a referal from your GP to see a Spinal Surgeon who will send you for a MRI and give you some options Im choosing to get Discectomy Surgery Im 62. Will let you know how I go ☺️
You arent wrong.. im on week 9 of trying to heal and have avoided 90% of activities. I have in that time completely forgotten how to move my body. This fear has totally reprogrammed my brain and its terrifying. There is zero natural movement left and im only 39. The stress is more than most people can handle, myself included.
I've been there, it sucks. Fear is the #1 limiter in the rehab process and we need to find a way through it without causing a flare up. If you're also dealing with a lot of stress, I'd strongly recommend watching the masterclass to understand the real impact of fear and stress on chronic pain, and how to get out of that cycle: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
Hey, how are you doing now? You sound exactly like me. I'm 38. Mother to 4 but chronic back pain is ruining my life and no doubt tainting their's. Hello guilt and shame on top of pain. Hope you're feeling much better x
I was told by my surgeon that my backbone isn't straight but curved. He said that operating on bones are difficult. He suggested steroid injection & physcial & massage therapy. Neither one has worked. I'm still in pain. Pain in lower back both cheeks of my butt. Both thighs, groin, knees, below knees. sometimes calves, ankles, feet & toes. I can't do anything without pain.
It also depends on your personality and if you are used to pain. I have rheumatism and fibromyalgia which causes pain 24/7. A few months ago I started having problems caused by a lumbar hernia. Couldn’t do shit for a week. But started training as soon as I could get up. Each week I train something new and keep looking for the limits of my body. Yes sometimes you want to give up, but being in pain is a great motivator for me to keep going.
Been avoiding things for 2.5 years since a crazy lower back injury which put me out of work for 6 months. Realized I messed up bad "resting" too much and avoiding movements because I was scared of being out of work for more time. Slowly getting back into it now and hoping its not too late 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I need help doc. 7yrs now of pain, bad fear avoidance, and now severely de conditioned. I will be disabled soon. Please help. No one else has been able to and I just can’t beat this. I’m in a bad place.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with such pain, it sounds like you haven't had the help you deserve. First things first - let's get you good education about chronic pain. I've made a masterclass that should inspire hope and confidence, and teach you about what actually works: www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
@@ShapeshiftWellness Thanks for responding. I will watch the video. Not bending or twisting for 7 years now, I’m just so scared. Than other things began to hurt, hip pain, knee pain, real bad Achilles tendinitis. My lower body is SO TIGHT. Not sure if it’s from constant neural tension or just muscles guarding. To avoid those new pains, I started avoiding more activities. I won’t step up or down curbs, avoid stairs, tying my shoes, bending to wash my legs in the shower (use a long brush) I pick things up off the floor with a grabber . It’s so bad Doc. And now I’m nervous because I don’t want to do too much too soon because I don’t know how weak or fragile I am now. Or maybe I’m not so weak and I’m just too damn fearful. It’s a nightmare.
@@calculator7 I’ve been there. Fear of pain is more disabling than pain itself. The body need to move! Be sure to watch the masterclass, there is hope! I see people with similar stories recover every single day.
I herniated my disc a year ago, 6 months later got rid of the nerve pain, but now my muscles are still in pain. I definitely think my disc should not cause pain any more, it's more my muscles over react that cause problem 😢
Everything you discussed is true with me 😅😅 .. and it sucks! Following you throughout.. learning a lot .. i have high hopes that with your teaching I'll get better .. suddenly trying your "bending" exercises.. felt good tho will do it gradually..
Hi, what about rehabilitation and movement with Tarlov cysts? It’s not asymptomatic at all. I have a lot of tingling, prickling, electric sensations throughout my lower leg, my lower back where the cysts are located is so stiff, I’m dragging my foot, it’s making me go the restroom all the time. It’s unbearable pain, I’m afraid to do any movement. I walk but like I said my foot is dragging. At this point is surgery more necessary than trying to get out of this fear cycle and actually move? I want to exercise again.
My disc herniation and bulge has been taking more than 2 years to heal although I've recovered 90% but once I start running or any lifting it flares up, please help 🙏🏻
Im 62 years old and I have a herniated disc L4/L5 and chronic sciatica for a year and half my Spinal Surgeon suggested a Steroid Injection or Discectomy Surgery Im choosing Discectomy Surgery. Will let you know how I go ☺️
I've been with my current coach for 6 months and spent alot of money on him and I'm still dealing with it. That makes it 1 year I've been in pain and still dealing with it.
@@ShapeshiftWellness I've tried everything. Multiple program adjustments. I have some days with relief but always end up flared up but the pain is pretty much constant. I can't say I've had a pain free day since it started a year ago. Its always there just changes intensity
@@ShapeshiftWellness sqauts rdls body weight calisthenics .. I'm now going to the gym to use machines. I've tried every type of workout and mobility work.
@@ShapeshiftWellness I know swearing has become more common these days and when used like you did, it can be used to really emphasize a point. The difficulty I'm having is that I'd like to forward your video to some friends who I think could really benefit from all of your experience and wisdom. However I'm a bit hesitant because they are old school and aren't fond of swearing. It isn't just the F bomb and the word shit, but using God's name as well. I understand that to a lot of people it just doesn't matter but to some it does. I don't think using those words will keep most of your viewers from still watching, but it might keep some people from passing on your videos to people who can really use your help and the hope and healing it can bring. I sure appreciate your wisdom and help, thanks Doc...
Honestly running (with proper form) almost never causes me pain. Kinda the opposite in fact. But it's ALWAYS the bending/squating and turning motions that will trigger a spasm of pain that nearly cripples my ass 😂
Could you help me with a startup routine workput how to build it up and start healing and regain strength, core stability and make my SIJoint and body pain free again?
Absolutely! The best thing to do is watch the full masterclass first so you understand the full picture of holistic rehab (exercise is just one piece of the pie), and then you can book a free consult with me and we can talk about the best plan for you specifically! www.shapeshiftwellness.com/LBP-masterclass
This is SO case-specific. I'd need to actually go through a proper history and intake with you to give you any personalized advice. There are indeed cases where people should have surgery and it will result in good outcomes, but it depends on the dozens of questions I'd need to ask you personally on a consultation. I do offer online consults if you ever want one. Let me know!
Feels like he is mostly talking emotions (which did make me feel better, not a bad thing) and tries to sell his masterclass course. Would not trust him 100%. The best thing is always to see a real doctor. Thanks for acknowledging my frustration, though. Would like to know what all these letters A B C etc actually stand for
Masterclass is free 🤷♂️ Each step is different for each individual. What people need is a customized plan that meets them where they are at so they don’t do too little for too long or too much too fast, both of which result in re-injury. So “A B C” is different for each person.
All of my videos are based on peer reviewed research, so by definition I’m using statistics, and statistically what I’m teaching represents the vast majority of people with chronic back pain and sciatica.
Could you use 75% less words? Bit repetition could be good but this is WAY too much. 7 minutes in and all I know is all the shit that does NOT work. Most people already know that anyways. Get to the point dude.
If most people already know what doesn't work, then why is everyone wasting so much time and money on those things? Oh yea - because they've been convinced of outdated narratives that support non-evidence-based therapy. I'm here to help people UNlearn outdated dogma.
My videos analyze peer reviewed research on chronic back pain and sciatica. Half of my job is teaching people to UNLEARN all of the harmful outdated myths they've been told. Knowledge of what not to do is often more powerful than a million useless "quick fixes".

While fascia and tensegrity are important, people often get distracted with biomechanics and lose the forest for the trees.
