How to Overcome Cervical Pinched Nerve & Radiculopathy (Don't Panic) - Dr. Alan Mandell, DC

and the best line from this video "No doctor is gonna care for you more than your self", tons of thanks for your great work Dr.

It's nice to see a doctor who cares about people more than money. God Bless

I have pinched nerve in C5 and this video was 100% accurate to describe my problems with it. My observations from last 3 years with this problem is that best thing you can do is to strengthen your neck muscles and focus on posture. My new daily routine is little bit of self-massage at the back of the neck. Then rotating head to all possible direction, so stretching. And lastly but the most important is to strengthen those neck muscles. I try to rotate my head in different directions and press against that rotation with my hands. Best thing for your health is to activate and strengthen your muscles around the body.

I would never neglect the Dr from asking for an MRI. It saved my brothers life. He had bad neck pain and arm pain for a long time and finally had an MRI and found he had his spinal column almost close off an could have lost the use of his legs and arms. They ha to do an emergency surgery to fuse his neck. He is much much better.

Omg That "DONT PANIC" was everything.. I was getting so anxious and thinking that I need a surgery or something

U r a doctor of humanity, not lusty for money. Lot of respect and love from Pakistan.

5 years later and he was right

Dr. Mandell is really the people's doctor! He really cares and is so informative for the common patient without the huge bill that follows! Love this guy!

The best video I ve seen so far. I am suffering from neck pain and neck muscle weakness. I get panic attacks some times and this video made me feel much better. Thank you so much Dr. Mandel! May God bless you and your family!

This is the kind of medical professional I want to become.

MRIs are super important. They are not the only tool to use, but to rule them out entirely is crazy. I have directly benefited from receiving updated MRI for my neck issues. Educate yourself but don’t become your own doctor. Become informed so you can better choose a doctor and make more informed chooses that your qualified doctor offers you.

I'm currently dealing with the effects of being a graphic and web designers for the last 27 years and not paying attention to my posture at the computer. He definitely speaks the truth at the end of this video. Don't ignore your posture, whether it's sitting or standing, and avoid some of these issues.

I haven't seen such a generous doctor who is helping, healing and educating millions of people. Thanks a ton , may God bless you and your family ...🙏🙏

I wish I'd met you before my Mum's hospitalization. She had an unnecessary surgery,her body was too weak and she passed on. The neurosurgeon said the reason she couldn't walk was a herniated disk and she needed surgery urgently. Turned out my Mom had another condition,the surgery weakened her and she died. It's all about the money,that's what a majority of the doctors are about. Thank you for caring and posting this very helpful videos.

You are a honourable doctor shame there is not more like you sir

Dr. How nice to see your videos. I have just started following you. Having worked 40 years as labourer and bulldozer operator, I am now disabled. Diagnosed with MS, a non compensable disease. The above video just woke me up! With my neck exercises I’m presently decreasing my trigeminal nerve pain! Thank you, may de Universe shine upon your kindness for doing these videos. Jorge.

Honestly you deserve an hundreds of thumbs up... "Cut down the Sugar" very key. People who save lives most time don't wear cape and that is you Doc.

The best doc on youtube. You have helped me with tinnitus and now with my nerves. This doc helped me more than a whole hospital.

I have watched a lot of your informational videos Doc. I am a doctor myself and 10.years ago i was found to have cervical spondylosis and was on and off on physical therapy. Two years ago i had a whole spine MRI and found disc bulges from C1 to T1 plus a disc bulge between L5S1. Lately, i already developed i think radiculopathy on both hands and legs down to the feet and hands. I have a bad posture coupled with my work on looking thru the microscope as a pathologist and working hours in front of the computer making pathology reports made a toll on my intervertebral discs. I hope i could still recover and experience pain free days by improving posture and doing the exercises you are telling us. I am 54 now and i hope its not too late. God Bless you Doc.

I like your language!!!! Me a physician myself, I hear truth in your voice
