I have sciatica, bulging disk in l4, l5 and s1 and mild lumbar stenosis. I watch other videos they say i shouldn't do this exercise because of the stenosis. Would you recommend this exercise?

Sorry to hear you have sciatica and mild stenosis. Great question. Pain and inflammation with lumbar stenosis can increase with extension-based exercises like this one - which is why a different approach is recommended for patients with significant stenosis. However, mild stenosis is common, and this exercise helps a good percentage of those with it--without causing increased pain/harm. This exercise is meant to be performed gently and progressively. So, if you try it, and it centralizes your symptoms (reduces numbness/tingling and moves the pain from your legs towards your back), it's helping you. Just make sure the pain in your back isn't more than mild and isn't continuing to increase.

@@silverbushphysicaltherapythank you so much, doc. I do other exercises aside from this one but I find myself doing this cobra more than the others because it's so easy to do and it seems to relieve me of pain in my foot. I now have more peace of mind knowing that the cobra will benefit me even if I have mild stenosis. Thanks, doc.

Hi Dr, does it mean I should shift my cobra position to the right if I have herniated disc pain on my left leg? Thanks

Great question. Try the standard cobra position first, and then try the version shifted to your right for comparison. To the right may initially be more relieving; if it is, start with that version - since your symptoms are on the opposite side. But if it the standard version creates more relief, use it instead. Ultimately, we want to progress to the standard version. But many benefit from starting shifted away from the side of their symptoms.
