Thank you SO much for this video! I’ve only been doing the first 2 exercises as I can’t lay on my side. But wow, the difference I feel in my neck with just those two is AMAZING. I have been getting searing neck pain and ocular migraines for quite awhile. Today is day 3 of not walking around feeling dizzy, nauseous, and wearing an ice cap on my head.

Thanks for the tips ....Much needed today......
Thank you for this. I've been stretching alot but the relief is very short lived. I've noticed a common thread in your advice, be gentle and very controlled, sadly this is not what I've been doing.

As a back sleeper, am I curious if you have done a video about the best head/neck position while sleeping? I am aware of neck stability while I'm awake, but occasionally wake in the night with an achy neck.

Agreed!!!! Hope this truth does get louder. People are getting worse with stretching! And people are creating Cervical Instability. It's more than disc pathology, it's messing up mechano & proprioception. You hit everything greatly.

The final step worst 😆right side should avoid
Great video, good explanation and very good exercises! Thank you very much. Just want to add that the tightness of the muscles in the neck are not only a symptom. The autonomous nerve system is actually just doing its job as it tries to stabilize the instability of the cervical spine by making the muscles tight. I developed cervical issues two years ago and stretching always felt wrong and uncomfortably, despite there are so many videos out there telling you to stretch....
I have occipital neuralgia, I to have been doing stretching excercise. I suffer from dizziness and pain at the base of my skull when I apply any pressure on the back of my head. Very hard to sleep. Will try your excercise’s, hopefully give me relief.

@@ellenoir6723 isometric exercise has kind of helped me but not to forceful just slow and controlled
Would this potentially help with eye strain, light sensitivity, blurriness in addition to headaches? All these symptoms seem to be coming from my neck, but unsure why (when I move my head to the right the left side of my neck cracks and sometimes will relieve the headache and eye blurriness - but temporarily)
Yes! I was told to stretch and it just makes the symptoms worse. My physio acknowledges this. It doesn’t really have an alternative. I’m so glad to see someone finally addressing this. Thank you! Will this exercise build up strength to help prevent symptoms in future?

Iron neck (in my opinion) would be more appropriate for an athlete or someone that does not suffer from chronic neck pain or instability. Chiropractic care is research proven to give short term relief but not long term relief. Some say "short term relief, long term dependency". Thanks for watching!

Question: if someone has "Instability" say of Alar, Facet, Nuchal... Wouldn't this be the reason the muscles are already overworked? Thus more exercise would just continue the muscle degradation? Some with Posterior Atlantooccipital Membrane tears can't even look up without symptoms. OR - we have a misunderstanding of the real pathology going on. Can I interview you for my CCI Group?

3 subsystems for cervical joint stability. The ligaments, the bones, and the muscles. We can usually overcome some instability by restoring the stabilizing muscles around the injured joints (they will often be atrophied). Strong research for a stability approach vs stretching. Thanks for watching!
What do you do if looking down and up increases your pain and muscle spasms, but you still definitely have cervical weakness?

Hi doc, will this be good for me? I am diagnosed to have cervicogenic dizziness, I have an existing neck pain especially when tilting my head down. They gave me exercise, chin tucks, upper fibers trapezius stretch, snow angel on the wall and mid back mobility -Y-I using a foam roller. But I noticed I am having pain doing chin tucks and and using a foam roller, it seems my neck pain is getting worse.. I feel so down, I feel my head is heavy and feel unsteady..thank you for reading my comment in advance doc..

I tried these exercises and they felt really good. I did have two questions. Does cervicogenic dizziness include light headedness? I sometimes feel light headed when I walk up stairs. Also your technique of not stretching the neck is a minority viewpoint among the presenters on youtube. Can you talk more about this?

Great questions and thanks for commenting. Cervicogenic headaches are a common side effect seen with dizziness. They are treated with the same exercise program. Stretching is still very common but very outdated. There has never been a good research study that stretching gave long term relief for cervicogenic dizziness or headaches.
Audio is so low!!
