Thanks for a complete and systematic explanation for the general public.

Thank you Dr. Gillard for sharing your knowledgeable presentations. I'm sure many people are very grateful for the details you share. Although some may not recognize or understand specific terms this information can be vital to making important and well defined decisions upon treatment. Many physicians don't go into detail during appointments and leave out vital information for the patient. I'm a detail oriented individual and must know specifics in order to trust my physician.

Probably the most clear and concise video on the net!

I’m hooked on your videos, doc. Super interesting.

I have listened to a lot of your content and I appreciate the way describe everything so perfectly. As an MA I prefer the medical terminology. It's been most helpful to understand the bulging discs on my L5 and Annular tear in my L4.

Absolutely the best educational video s, thank you so much. Extremely helpful!

This is so good, very well made and awesome for an non-educated, but interested person like me, trying to figure out more about my injury and want to udnerstand my own MRI better :)

Thank you very much Doctor.

god is such a great engineer when he designed us!!! PERFECT!!

amazingI appreciate your efforts thank you very much for the work

Wow, what a great explanation! And the answer that I wanted to hear regarding MRI machines - wehther a 3T one is better than a 1.5T one. Now I am going to find an imaging facility that has a Philips MR 7700 machine

Hi doc! I have been watching your videos because I have back pain and I am very grateful that I have learned so much. I would like to send you a copy of my latest MRI images and hopefully give me some of your insights because I am planning to do surgery. Thank you doc!

can you make videos on how to detect ... ankylosing spondylitis .. both from lumber view and sacro illiac joint MRIs ...

It was an amazing video. I have sent the link to a lot of my friends 😊 thank u sir for making it n loads of regards from India 😊

great

My Spine L4/5 Diffuse disc bulge problem

Very helpful, thank you 🙏

I asked for a T3 MRI but my scan only has T1 and T2. I am hiring a lawyer and will send them to your page, thank you!!

What happens to your disks if you don't have the lumbar curve? In my MRI I don't have this curve, my spine looks so straight. I just had a L5-S1 micro discectomy. I believe my L5-S1 disk herniated because of my straight spine. Has anyone done any MRI in those MRI devices where you can stand up on your feet? They said your spine has a more natural curve when standing up as opposed to when you lay down.

Thank you .🙏

@6:15 omg so then when they are doing a discetomy, is this where the scar tissue will form? Is that why the nerves hurt?

Dr. Gillard, thanks for your teaching on how to read Lumbar Spine MRI, but what about Cervical Spine MRI? Can you advice please.

If all conservative care has failed, the treatment is surgery. What type of surgery depends on the cause of the stenosis, but it's typically something called a decompression.

My MRI showed 3 herniated discs and they want me to go to physical therapy....if the bulging disc is protruding and pushing on nerves to create my pain and siatica, I don't understand how physical therapy can change that.....the discs are not gonna recede back between vertabraes again, so it seems futile....I know ppl who've had a laminectomy and are still in pain after the surgery

The $64,000 question is whether those discs are actually pain generators or are they completely innocent have been there for years? It is well known that about 30% of disc herniations are not pain generators. The trick is to figure out if these herniations match your clinical findings (neurological and orthopedic findings to be exact). Big disc herniations can be reabsorbed by the body - sometimes completely reabsorbed. And this resorption is done by mother nature, and has nothing to do with any type of treatment you will receive. Maybe some decompression treatment might help mother nature along (there's no solid research to prove that, but it makes sense), but all in all, its all about mother nature. If the sciatica is severe and if you start suffering motor loss, then you could get forced into a discectomy - that's a whole another discussion. If you think that herniations are symptomatic, then you should be seen by a spine surgeon sooner rather than later so you can be properly worked up. Discectomy is a time sensitive thing for the most part, so you don't want to wait around too long. The rule of thumb is about four months. Note, this information is for educational purposes only. Please never act on anything I say without running it by your primary health care provider. Good luck!

2mm axial cuts? That sequence will take for ever. 😉 😜 😜 😜 😜

Hello, I actually just had a MRI done on myself with one series (T2-weighted) of axial and sagittal's done with 2 mm cuts, down the plane of the disc. It took 50 minutes and now I have beautiful crystal clear images from this 3 Tesla tube. Too many MRI centers are rushing people through their machines and getting mediocre to poor quality imaging - I see these every single week, something that I don't see in other countries.

I've been studying treating back pain naturally and found a great resource at Zavrins Back Guide (google it if you're interested)
