1 00:00:00,030 –> 00:00:12,450 in this video let’s talk about a pinched nerve in your hip Hi welcome back this is 2 00:00:12,450 –> 00:00:16,410 Aw Boon Wei your exercise physiologist here to help you better understand your body so 3 00:00:16,410 –> 00:00:21,000 that you can improve in your health fitness and performance now don’t forget 4 00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:25,560 to subscribe to my video don’t forget to hit the button this way YouTube will 5 00:00:25,560 –> 00:00:32,279 notify you when I post a new video right in this video we’ll talk about 6 00:00:32,279 –> 00:00:35,579 in the last video we talked about the hip impingement this video we talk about 7 00:00:35,579 –> 00:00:45,090 the nerves both of them can come together sometimes and when we look at the nerve 8 00:00:45,090 –> 00:00:52,110 you wanna think of it as a very complicated system the reason why I say 9 00:00:52,110 –> 00:00:59,539 is complicated because so far no one has been able to tell exactly why nerves are 10 00:00:59,539 –> 00:01:05,909 doing things they are doing and everybody’s symptoms is slightly 11 00:01:05,909 –> 00:01:10,080 different when it comes to nerve and something that you have to understand is 12 00:01:10,080 –> 00:01:17,340 also that if you’re feeling symptoms that’s or signals that’s picked up by 13 00:01:17,340 –> 00:01:20,280 your nerve it just means that the nerve is actually 14 00:01:20,280 –> 00:01:28,799 doing its job and by that saying your nerve for example let’s do this if I were 15 00:01:28,799 –> 00:01:35,540 to flick my finger on another finger right this way 16 00:01:35,540 –> 00:01:41,220 you would feel something I actually did this is a signal that is picked up 17 00:01:41,220 –> 00:01:45,750 by your nerve and it’s sent to your brain basically telling your brain that hey 18 00:01:45,750 –> 00:01:52,650 it’s painful similarly when there is some form of soreness some form of pain some 19 00:01:52,650 –> 00:02:00,570 form of nervy sensation pins and needles ants crawling sh**ting pain these are 20 00:02:00,570 –> 00:02:08,940 very common symptoms when you get picked up by the nerve but most of the 21 00:02:08,940 –> 00:02:14,160 time people want to treat the nerve the thing is that there’s nothing wrong with 22 00:02:14,160 –> 00:02:20,060 the nerve so don’t try to complicate things and try to take medicine or trying to 23 00:02:20,060 –> 00:02:28,020 excuse me don’t try to do anything – 24 00:02:28,020 –> 00:02:32,310 to the nerve basically that’s that’s how I see it because if there’s nothing 25 00:02:32,310 –> 00:02:38,130 wrong and your nerve is picking up signal we want to understand why the nerve is doing this 26 00:02:38,130 –> 00:02:40,290 how do you know when you get a pinched nerve 27 00:02:40,290 –> 00:02:46,110 basically you a feel things running down your legs 28 00:02:46,110 –> 00:02:52,200 it could be pins and needles it could be numbness it could be sh**ting pain it 29 00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:59,190 could be and ants crawling down things like that so this 30 00:02:59,190 –> 00:03:04,620 basically your nerves picking up signals signaling you that something is wrong 31 00:03:04,620 –> 00:03:09,500 around the area and if we look at the nerves involved you can then understand 32 00:03:09,500 –> 00:03:14,760 why you’re feeling in a certain place but at this point of time the nervous 33 00:03:14,760 –> 00:03:23,130 system is quite complicated nobody can actually feel exactly the same symptoms 34 00:03:23,130 –> 00:03:29,489 it’s kind of like a mixed and this just means that enough is involved that 35 00:03:29,489 –> 00:03:33,630 doesn’t mean that the nerve has got problem a lot of times people want to treat the nerve 36 00:03:33,630 –> 00:03:37,840 because of these systems but if you don’t get to 37 00:03:37,840 –> 00:03:42,580 why the nerve is actually picking up other signal then you will always be 38 00:03:42,580 –> 00:03:48,220 just treating the symptom and not the root cause of the problem and you want 39 00:03:48,220 –> 00:03:53,200 to get today you have to actually go through some examination all this kind of 40 00:03:53,200 –> 00:04:00,640 nervy sensation I know it can be irritating I know it can be hindering 41 00:04:00,640 –> 00:04:05,500 your daily life and that’s why if you are already feeling all this you need to 42 00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:11,260 see a professional right so let’s go to your 3d model let’s take a look over 43 00:04:11,260 –> 00:04:19,120 there and then we’ll come back here so over here let’s take a look at the nerves that’s 44 00:04:19,120 –> 00:04:24,430 involved around your hip and basically you can see that actually nerves running 45 00:04:24,430 –> 00:04:32,740 down your leg whether it’s the front or whether it’s the back so it really 46 00:04:32,740 –> 00:04:37,120 depends on which nerve and what nerve we’re talking about over here 47 00:04:37,120 –> 00:04:44,370 so let’s remove the muscles first you can then see why you’re having certain 48 00:04:44,370 –> 00:04:52,960 nervy sensation or things that can be caused by the nerve if we 49 00:04:52,960 –> 00:04:59,710 purely just look at the bone and the nerve system you will realize that one 50 00:04:59,710 –> 00:05:06,729 nerve that’s actually running from the front it’s basically over here 51 00:05:06,729 –> 00:05:20,370 this guy originate from the spine but before that you realize that all spine 52 00:05:20,370 –> 00:05:36,639 sorry all nerve actually comes back hey what’s going on right all nerve originate 53 00:05:36,639 –> 00:05:44,170 from your spine whether it’s for the upper body or 54 00:05:44,170 –> 00:05:49,600 whether it’s for the lower half of the body and it connects all the way up to 55 00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:56,790 your brain and let me just remove the bone so you will see that 56 00:05:56,790 –> 00:06:02,080 without the bone this is what the nervous system looks like they are just 57 00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:08,830 spread around your body picking up signals and getting your body to do the 58 00:06:08,830 –> 00:06:11,430 job 59 00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:22,990 so the originate the nerve basically origin from your brain and it’s 60 00:06:22,990 –> 00:06:27,610 just collecting information and sending information down to different parts of 61 00:06:27,610 –> 00:06:32,530 the body all right so let’s get the bones back and let’s go back down to 62 00:06:32,530 –> 00:06:39,580 your hip and let’s look at this nerve again so you realize that 63 00:06:39,580 –> 00:06:45,610 this nerve basically runs from your spine and basically runs down the front 64 00:06:45,610 –> 00:06:53,710 of your hip and it goes down to the front of your thigh so 65 00:06:53,710 –> 00:06:59,470 this is where it is now part of it basically got branch out and it actually 66 00:06:59,470 –> 00:07:14,169 goes on to the side and then kind of really beside the knee right and then 67 00:07:14,169 –> 00:07:20,830 goes down right most of the nerve you probably never 68 00:07:20,830 –> 00:07:26,380 heard of they have names as well the most common ones everybody will talk 69 00:07:26,380 –> 00:07:32,400 about is the sciatic nerve and yes the sciatic nerve is basically over here 70 00:07:32,400 –> 00:07:41,289 right similarly it actually goes up to your spine and then up to your brain so 71 00:07:41,289 –> 00:07:46,330 you can think of them like a bundle of wires running down your body and they’re 72 00:07:46,330 –> 00:07:52,390 basically picking and sending up signal so along the way they may get 73 00:07:52,390 –> 00:07:55,969 interrupted because of different things happening 74 00:07:55,969 –> 00:08:02,929 and as for the sciatic nerve you can see that it actually runs down and once you 75 00:08:02,929 –> 00:08:06,139 reach a different area it’s called a different nerve the sciatic nerve is 76 00:08:06,139 –> 00:08:13,819 basically from the back of the buttock to the back of your knee so you see 77 00:08:13,819 –> 00:08:21,619 once I click this this belongs to another nerve so the entire thing running down 78 00:08:21,619 –> 00:08:26,599 it’s not the sciatic nerve but because of how it’s connected to different 79 00:08:26,599 –> 00:08:34,009 nerves over here you have your tibia nerve and then this just 80 00:08:34,009 –> 00:08:40,219 different nerves running on the leg and that’s why people feel sh**ting pain or 81 00:08:40,219 –> 00:08:47,540 numbness that runs down the back of your leg and if you go to backtrack of 82 00:08:47,540 –> 00:08:51,829 course you will come back to your sciatic nerve and then beyond your sciatic nerve 83 00:08:51,829 –> 00:08:58,009 it goes back to your spine and then up to your brain so this is how the nerve gets 84 00:08:58,009 –> 00:09:06,379 involved but you realize that if the nerve is by itself it doesn’t quite 85 00:09:06,379 –> 00:09:12,800 get into trouble if you really have to get the nerve injured the trauma should 86 00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:19,220 be quite huge and quite big you have to get into a very big accident almost like 87 00:09:19,220 –> 00:09:25,160 getting your leg ch*p off or getting c*t before the nerve can get into 88 00:09:25,160 –> 00:09:32,809 trouble so that’s what’s happening to the nerve over here and 89 00:09:32,809 –> 00:09:38,379 let’s bring in the muscle and a lot of times 90 00:09:38,379 –> 00:09:47,750 they are basically neglected because pinched nerve happens when it’s 91 00:09:47,750 –> 00:09:59,540 pinched by the muscle and in its relaxed and not so tight or some people call it 92 00:09:59,540 –> 00:10:06,319 inflame it shouldn’t be pinching on the nerve where the nerve runs 93 00:10:06,319 –> 00:10:12,149 along this this nerve in front you will see that 94 00:10:12,149 –> 00:10:20,610 it has to go pass different parts of your body before it runs down and this 95 00:10:20,610 –> 00:10:26,429 is one Junction that most people get themselves into trouble and if we look 96 00:10:26,429 –> 00:10:30,839 further down you realize that there are also different parts of the muscle that 97 00:10:30,839 –> 00:10:36,720 can be compressing on the nerve and this is pinched nerve for you 98 00:10:36,720 –> 00:10:44,339 similarly to the back you see this nerve running down but it has to go 99 00:10:44,339 –> 00:10:49,499 through so many different layers of muscle that can be pressing on the nerve 100 00:10:49,499 –> 00:10:56,189 one main Junction for this sciatic nerve is basically this area over here because 101 00:10:56,189 –> 00:11:00,179 this group of muscles can be also squeezing on the nerve and if we were to 102 00:11:00,179 –> 00:11:08,189 look further up as mentioned earlier on this nerve runs this way and when 103 00:11:08,189 –> 00:11:13,619 you go down there’s a tendency of tight muscles that can be pressing on the nerve 104 00:11:13,619 –> 00:11:19,980 that can also be causing pins and needles running down the leg so don’t just 105 00:11:19,980 –> 00:11:25,529 look at I know you may be searching for pinched nerve on the hip but these are 106 00:11:25,529 –> 00:11:30,089 some of the things that can also happen in different parts of your body 107 00:11:30,089 –> 00:11:36,360 if you never get your hip or rather you never get your nerve into problem 108 00:11:36,360 –> 00:11:41,839 most of the time it’s not going to be the nerve systems problem alright so 109 00:11:41,839 –> 00:11:47,639 this is what I want to show you over here so there you go that’s basically 110 00:11:47,639 –> 00:11:52,410 the nerves that’s running down your leg basically the front and at the back of 111 00:11:52,410 –> 00:11:57,839 your hip and depending on where you feel depending on where you’re picking on the 112 00:11:57,839 –> 00:12:03,629 signal it tells us a lot why you’re feeling certain sensation around those 113 00:12:03,629 –> 00:12:06,989 area so things that can actually contribute 114 00:12:06,989 –> 00:12:14,249 to this could be your muscle because you look at the 3D model you would already 115 00:12:14,249 –> 00:12:19,740 understand why the nerve can get involve with in and that’s basically a lot of 116 00:12:19,740 –> 00:12:25,259 times why people are getting all this sensation well because I’m the muscle guy 117 00:12:25,259 –> 00:12:30,419 I will look at the muscles in the first place and it’s a lot easier to just go to the 118 00:12:30,419 –> 00:12:34,290 root of the problem because I know this is one of those cause if you 119 00:12:34,290 –> 00:12:39,059 haven’t look at one of my videos that can help you with relieving of the hip 120 00:12:39,059 –> 00:12:45,809 flexors you can actually take a look over there that’s it this is all 121 00:12:45,809 –> 00:12:49,259 I have for you in this video so if you like this don’t forget to click on the 122 00:12:49,259 –> 00:12:53,309 like and if you haven’t subscribed to my video the button as well and also the 123 00:12:53,309 –> 00:12:58,110 bell button because this way YouTube will notify you when I post a new video and as for 124 00:12:58,110 –> 00:13:03,049 the like button YouTube will notify people when they are looking for similar videos 125 00:13:03,049 –> 00:13:09,740 so this is all I have for you please take care and I will see you in my next video
