  • @e-youth
    Of all the many videos regarding sciatica that I've watched, this is by far the most informative and helpful. It felt like I consulted a doc face to face. Thanks Doc!😊
  • @mikewilson1006
    Thank you so much for these demonstrations and explanations; currently experiencing the acute phase but your words about myofascial muscle pain I am likely experiencing make me very optimistic about my recovery. Also the 12 week framework for experiencing pain is something I hadn’t heard before so that gives me patience.
  • Good morning Doctor Andrea, you are really a very knowledgeable sympathetic person, I am currently in the middle of a very bad sciatica attack going for a scan this afternoon ..About 6 years ago I had a similar attack and the scan showed my L2 was herniated, in fairness they had me back in the next day I was in hospital and they did a epidural into the disc with anti inflammatory drug. It was amazing within one hour the pain was gone and no reoccurring problem since until now..So hopefully the same technique works again👍

    Dr. Andrea, you are really very graceful in your demonstration doing all the exercises to teach us. I am 84 years old [born on 02 Jan 1937] and had been an active sportsman in various sports, e.g. as a soccer coach and playing soccer, and I love the sun, the sand and the sea. I had also served in Army as an Infantry Officer for 12 years. Dr. Andrea, how old are you by the way? I can only guess you are in your early 50s. I wish there are many doctors like you so well qualified and able to perform such graceful moves in so many exercises. I am keeping up with most of your exercises. So thank you for your care and the love of your profession, and may the good Lord bless you and your loved ones abundantly.

    Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Andrea! I suffered from sciatica in 2018 and it really was so painful, I could not move.
  • @user-gt4rm4ig4y
    Спасибо. Чудесные упражнения. Главное они очень плавные и не причиняют лишней боли.
  • @tinacox2989
    Thank you for explaining this. I was doing lots of stretching after watching a different video on YouTube but your advice saying not to but to rest instead whist my sciatica is flared up is much more beneficial.
  • @maxoud
    I’m glad to find you on YouTube. You are knowledgeable and professional and helpful. Thank you.
  • @siba92
    So it's been 3 months of having this sciatica thing... My doctor gave me excercises to do but I think they somehow increased my pain. I have started doing your excercises and hoping I get better results soon. My left leg is really killing me as I'm typing this. I try to walk every day as well. Thanks Dr. Love from south Africa
  • @GloriaGu
    Thank you Dr. Andrea Furan. Finally I find a Dr. speak the language like my own. I had this pain with me over ten years and it sounds never going away. It’s only different is better or worse. The worst time coming that I am not able to do anything but only lay on the bed. I will try to do the exercises to see if there are any changes. Thank you.
  • @roto4292

    Thank you very much for the lesson. I will try to do all the excercises. But looking at the explanation, I am convinced that those are the right postures and training. I will do the training and advise the result in a month time. Cheers from Indonesia.
  • I tried and it helps me sleep at night. The getting up from seating is something new i never thought about. I sit in front of computer all day. Thank you, doctor!!

    Hi My name is Patrick from PA, USA. I have been a nurse for 21 years. I injured my back twice during my career. First, in 2002 in Virginia, and 2nd in 2013 in PA. I have lived with chronic low back pain for years. I stopped working in nursing homes and hospitals due to chronic back pain. Recently, this pain started on my right buttock and traveled down to my knee. I cannot sleep, stand or sit. The worst is bed rest. Thanks to Dr Andrea for this video of sciatica and disk herniation. I love my job and I want to return to serving the needy.
  • Thank you for the very useful work outs for my lower back pain. I’m going to practice it .
