Hey Brian im Jo'el Torres dr Joseph Cipriano other patient in his videos. I know it wasn't easy brother trust me I know! I delt with hyperkyphosis for years b4 I see Joseph an hes going to put in that work. You will feel sore for a bit sore but it gets better brother just keep up with the sessions hey maybe we will run into each other at the office and show the world what chiropractic really does for ppl with our conditions and the love we get is amazing just work on streching an exercises lil by lil u will be back to normal in no time!!

You are really Brave man , stay strong 💪🏻

I was thinking the same thing. If not, I’m sure plenty of us would be willing to donate for his sessions. I would totally buy a session for him

He's a time traveler he said he first started noticing his back problems around 1819 but didn't go see a doctor till 2003🧐😳🤔😝

Great guy no doubt, that condition he has must cause lots of muscle pain due to the unnatural position he always has. Glad the Dr. was able to help him.

Lmao imagine😂. But no, he meant as in he started noticing his back problems around the age of 18-19 years old

and not taking pain killers !

There's something about correcting posture and putting pressure on bones that just satisfies me so much to the point of turn on

@@neodeisha83 you don't do anything at all ? It's his wife's responsibility to provide him all of that

My father had Spondylitis during his years of 27-47, after which progression suddenly stopped. His mobility was severely limited but could still function. During those 20 years of progression the inflammation was excruciating, while the bones wanted to fuse together in his neck, back, hip joints and rib cage. Luckily the progression was slow and he did not end up as bad as this patient is now, but his head did stick forward somewhat.

He is very compassionate about his condition and what he’s experiencing. I can’t wait to get him more relief

Dr just a simple question, will he become like before once you've made all possible that can be done?

@@patrickchung5963 not actually There is no actual cure for spinal fusion But he can get better I heard it needs a surgerio

@Nate W you think chiropractors are bs?

@Nate W you have to follow it up with physio after, reason being is it's your muscles that slowly pull you back to how you were if you don't correct the muscle balance... Go chiropractor then learn which side is the imbalance and work on those muscles and stretching the opposite side

@Norah Elaine may I ask have you been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis? I think that chiropractors are valuable and help people in managing their bodies. When people have been in car accidents, have had falls, and broken bones they are useful long after the physical therapy has stopped. But for some diseases (like Ankylosing Spondylitis), it is not appropriate to seek chiropractors services which can do more damage. (I know this from first hand experience.

@@slycat2355 yeah my rheumatologist told me chiropractic services would probably do more damage and doesn’t recommend seeing one

Old guys talk shit too. But I get your point.

That’s because old guys put in the work. They didn’t have to internet to hide behind. Also notice the number of single parents now days? Young boys are every where in this country. Young “men” are hard to find in 2024..

​@macmoney607 Because the previous generations failed them. Or in your pretentiousness, you didn't realize that it was the older people that raised them? It's a perpetual cycle, not a stagnant phenomenon.

Thank you!!

The very reason i chose this specific doctor. I watch his videos, like all you guys, and he's the ultimate professional. I couldn't be involved with greater people than the ones i have by my side currently.

Im a med student too and I know what you mean. PS.. HLAB27 😊

There’s a channel here on YT called “The Try Guys”. One of the guys in the group, Zach, has this condition. He has a few videos talking about it, if you want to know more about it from then patients pov.

I felt every movement and adjustment. I have the same disease and know what he's going through 😔

When you get into practice you'll see that HLAB27 from ANA test is actually quite non-specific. Radiographic presentation helps confirm AS.

Geez always eye opening to see narcissistic people make things all about themselves.

Very True

@@nadrawilliams8890 no I'm talking about the people who never work and refuse to yet being able. not working during the pandemic is not included cause that's a matter of personal health so there is a reason not to work.

Is there any at home remedies for that say I or anyone could do when one has osgood-schlatter disease in both knees ( never had the surgery while young) plus lumbar spondylitis?

Hey man ... I have had it since a few years after a motorcycle accident when I was 18 where my pelvis / sacrum were smashed..... i'm 68 now and have fought it all my life. . The best treatement for this disease is exercise . It helped me to stay ahead of it . They say it can also burn itself out which I think happened with me .. i'm not slumped over but now its flaring up in my next same as this poor guy .... I have an inversion table which helps a lot ... when I first inverted it was quite painful but helpful at the same time ... a hot bath prior to inverting really help and I can feel my back cracking all the way down ... also when i've had a flare up .. pain shooting down my leg ... chiropractor can usually fix it in one or two visits .... ALSO if I take a couple of advil OCCASIONALLY ... the inflamation subsides which makes it easier for me to exercise ... pop my vertibrae on the inversion table ..... Hope you do well brother and surely if the Dr reaches out to me I'll help this man with a treatment ....

I have AS and I take LDN, I would strongly recommend you researching it. Feel free to reach out about it.

It is nice knowing I’m not alone. That other people are dealing with this too.

@@DPest86LDN?

I’m 69. Had symptoms since young adulthood, but not diagnosed til 3 yrs ago. Agonising. Been on biologic SECUKINUMAB for a couple of years now, with amazing relief. Occurrence in women was denied by Drs for decades, but proportion of diagnosis in women compared to men is now referenced anywhere from 1: 10 to 50:50 - the higher incidence occurring as greater understanding evolves about how AS presents in women.

How did you mess your back

I was recently diagnosed with AS and it’s pretty scary thinking I could be disabled in another couple decades if I don’t keep up on taking care of myself! I already do yoga but would you mind sharing what sort of intense exercise you are doing?

Pedro man ur words speak so loudly thank you I'm sure every one of us who has AS has had them thoughts of ending it thank you

@@karinah4008 i do anything that promotes flexibility and strengthens the my posture. I also think about how my body is feeling day to day. For me I’m not as stiff I’m the mornings as I am in the evening. My regimen is as follows. Wake up 5-530am large glass of water and rip a small dab. 15-30 min: Meditation and breathing exercises set the tone for my day. Taking the time to expand and contract your chest/rib cage with purposeful breathing. I’d recommend reading and researching kriya and tantra breathing techniques. It will do wonders for you mental health. 2 mile run or bike ride to the gym. I will continue my breathing exercises throughout my workout. Find the rhythm and don’t stop. 1 hr at the gym. I never take more than 30 seconds of rest in between exercises. No more than 10 sec between reps. At the the end of my workouts I love to hang from a pull up bar, add tons of extra weight to the lat pull down machine and let it stretch my arms and shoulders and spine. If you can find a way to hang upside down every day do it. I have some old school inversion boots. Some people call them gravity boots. I will hang for 30 seconds at a time 5 or 6 sets. I also use something similar to a y strap with 10lbs on it around my head. This give me the most relief. But be careful and always have someone help when doing this. I also use a wooden broomstick placed across the back of the shoulders with arms extending out to the ends. I rotate back and forth gradually increasing my rotation from right to left. This is great for mobility from the shoulders(cervical) all the way to the hips(lumbar and sacral). 15 min swim 30 min tread water. Head to work Like I said I’m much stiffer at the end of the day so I do yoga around 7-8pm usually after dinner. I have found that this really relaxes me and improves the quality of my sleep. Also if you can afford to get a massage(ashiatsu is my favorite) or cupping done 2-3x a month(You may be able to get this covered with insurance as preventative care). I have been getting 1 X-ray a year to track the progression of my disease. My thoracic and cervical vertebrae are the most affected. Even with everything I have listed above. My spine is on fire and it usually feel like a giant has one finger between my leg and two other fingers on my shoulders by my neck just squeezing and compressing my spine. My advice to you is start figuring out what works for you. Some people are more affected in the hip, sacral, lumbar. The sooner you start managing this hopefully it will progress at a much slower rate over time.

Can't blame you,it's tough.

@@karinah4008 Stay Positive- NEVER Quit-Do abdominal strengthening exercises at least every other day-very important in balancing your body. Strong Abdominals can really help- your spine-countering issues in your hip and back. Do some Upper body work like- standing rows for your middle upper back, Lat Pull Downs, Chest Flies-expands your rib cage counteracts-forces trying to pull it together with either machines or stretch bands-8 to 12 reps every other day three times a week. All these exercises- Strengthen the surrounding muscles Do these things in Addition to yoga I think you're going to Significantly Increase Your Quality Of Life in the Long Term. You want to Consistently Work at it -within the level of energy that you have. Water therapy if you have a Therapy Pool- near you- range of motion flexibility sort of like yoga and it supports your joints & the warm water physically relaxing and comforting; is a nice add-in. I've done them ALL-stay strong mentally-You Will Overcome! DON'T Let Anybody- tell you you can only do X. I had a 1% case an extremely bumpy one year period. I've been overcoming for 43 years+! You Will do it! Develop a positive team around you, your family, positive friends you will have challenging days- NEVER Quit! Sometimes people WON'T Understand- cuz it's a hidden challenge; you will get stronger-in character, mind and body. I would offer up strengthen your spiritual life as well. I'm a Christian- for me faith- is & has been essential in my life-everyone has a life story-they are All Unique to that person-you are just really starting to develop yours. My gut tells me you're going to do great things. Improve your nutrition organic greens, fruits and vegetables lots of clean water. A lot to think about- Take Positive ACTION-One Step at a time a bit at a time consistently over time Will Give You a High Quality of LIFE! Press On and Overcome... You Can Do It

So sorry about the pain you have endured. I've been diagnosed since 2011 and have kept active. My grandma and her sister had severe hump backs. My aunt (grands sister) unfortunately died as a result of her spine fracturing. My father has controlled his pain through exercise his whole life and is in amazing shape. You wouldn't ever guess he gas had pain. Its a true testament to stay active. It's just so hard to PUSH through that pain when you just want to curl up and rest. I thankfully no longer have narrowing of my vertebrae since seeing a specialist like the Dr in this video. There NEEDS to be more drs like them. SO many people go through pain silently that don't have access to specialists like that. Its a shame. Im happy you have a treatment that helps but I also hope you can find a therapy that will help your movement ❤🖐

@@taylerstanick2395 thanks hope you have a fulfilling life

I'm sorry to read that you're in pain it is a horrendous disease which the NHS isn't properly equipped to diagnose quickly. I started feeling unwell in the Summer of 1979 when my legs and hips would get very stiff preventing me from sprinting properly. After decades of mysterious stiffness - uvitis and rashes over my face and chest things started to get bad in 2017. Although the X-Ray of my thoracic area showed fusion. It still wasn't diagnosed and my doctor told me that everybody gets osteophytes as they grow older. Even a pain specialist missed it when he reviewed my MRI in 2017 and unfortunately the disease continued to progress and in the end I was in so much pain. I could barely get out of bed. Thankfully it was fully diagnosed in 2019 and I was put on a drug called imraldi which got rid of the inflammation but I was left for the damage but a huge amount of physiotherapy has got me fairly mobile and in less pain. I have axial spondyloarthritis which means that it went into my shoulders big toe Achilles tendon area jaw top of my cervical spine it just gets everywhere. I hope you keep fighting it. I just wish that they had diagnosed early and got me on the biological medicine before any major damage had been done

@@ewaf88 Thanks all the best to you.

I read in another comment something about eating food that doesn't inflame you or an antiinflammatorie natural diet. Have you tried that?

@@Hashslingingslasher- Hi there , thank you for your information. I have tried everything possible but with no success unfortunately. Hope you are well.

@@Hashslingingslasher- thank you so much for your kind words they mean a lot to me. Hope you are well, take care .

Great points. But def stay away from soda. I found over time that sugar and carbs were a deathwish and put my further in the hold. Now I use tumeric, ginger, moringa, and coconut flour in place of high carb flours and coconut butter to make chocolate and candy to get my fix .

Diagnosed with this 4 weeks ago. My hips is the worst place for me aswell. Have you got any tips dealing with this

I have heard that dairy can worsen inflammatory issues, and turmeric is a natural supplement that has anti-inflammatory properties

doogledon1987 I have it too. Cutting out sugar and avoiding processed foods is huge. And of course stretching every single day and exercising, keep that body moving. Also, check out the medication Low Dose Naltrexone

draxe.com is the site! Dr Josh Axe has a ton of great stuff on his website regarding diet and nutrition

I'm a suspected case but certainly I do have this condition. It's been 2 years since I started as much as I can the Seignalet diet. It's hard, but with exercice and movement, it's the key to a free pain life. I couldn't walk sometimes because of the pain in my hips but now it's just a bad souvenir. In the Seignalet diet, I mainly took the advices of gluten free and lactose free lifestyle. Plus, I eat as less as I can mais, corn, and fried foods. Now I consider myself as gluten intolerant as I can not eat it anymore without throwing up and having inflammation in my whole body. Just give it a try, personally it took 2-3 mouths to be very effective.

I'm in a similar position, a mom who was diagnosed 12 years ago when I was 30, I also have psoriatic arthritis and to be honest I never know which one is causing my pain on a day to day basis. Sending you healing vibes

@@Glesga_lassie My sister got diagnosed with this very recently. I strongly believe my other sister may have it some other autoimmune disease affecting her back as well.

100%....discomfort and minor aches are the good days.

You get so used to pain pain just becomes like breathing. Brutal trying to sleep in my case.

Hi how are you doing I have just been diagnosed with AS...its utterly painful every morning when i wake up but during the day the pain reduces...i am thinking am in the initial stages.... Am 28 years old.... now that you have lived with AS for so many years any suggestions you have for me? To keep this in check?

The more active you are the better you will feel. Problem is you need lots of rest with any ailment and you will never, ever feel good after an 8-10 hour sleep. You just stiffen up everywhere and I often wake up with terrible shooting pains in my feet and wrists along with the normal spinal/shoulder discomfort. I wish I had a good answer here but it just is what it is. I tried the medicated route too and for me I found no difference. Stay active and take ibuprofen is about all I can reccommend.

@@tylercannon5329 thanks a lot for the suggestions....will try to remain as active as possible. Have started to hit the gym every morning 🙂 lets see if the pain reduces a little. Also i hope you feel better too and be well. The problems a person with AS is going through can be only felt by another person fighting AS. I feel you. Stay healthy stay safe 🙂

do you know these neck adjustments aren't proven to work and they take anybody n for a couple of years and certify them. do you people are paralysed and even killed by these ? please be aware of what you do to yourself and research all sides instead of the one that sounds pleasing.

AS is on the government’s list of disability. You can get disability if it’s gets bad for you.

As far as I know, the government would only be able to help by putting him on disability, which would provide some money and care, but I don't think it would provide enough money for he and his daughter.

This country sucks …we need Jesus

If he qualifies for medicaid his biologics would be completely covered. This kind of fusion isn't really supposed to be happening to young people anymore. You're right that disability payments would not be enough to support him and his daughter.

How is it life-changing? You get some immediate relief from these "adjustments" (not really adjusting anything) but that's about it, couple of days if you're lucky and the pain comes back exactly like before. You can't fix these problems by cracking some bones.

I pray you don’t experience fusion. It’s rough seeing my husband who has AS and has been officially diagnosed with it since he was 26, but he began having problems and pain when he was 18. His neck has fused in multiple places and so has his lower back. I know he’s in pain but he is so strong and rarely ever says he’s in pain.

the way to describe is like a bamboo

My husband has AS and he’s had so many people make comments to him about his posture, to “stand up straight,” or they’ll ask him why his neck is like that. After he had his hip replaced he had a handicap parking permit for a bit and people would say things to him about parking in the handicap stall just because they thought he was young and didn’t need to park there.
