Meditations and Talks:
-Download Insight Timer, a meditation app, and search for the following teachers: Tara Brach, Joanna Albrecht, Lianne Weaver and Ariel Hardy.
-I enjoy the following Youtube channels: Eckerdt Tolle, Rupert Spira.
Herbal Supplements I Recommend:
Turmeric/Piperine 500 mg (starting dose): this is the dose I recommend starting with. Many of my patients have found relief at 1,000 mg or even 2,000 mg a day as needed, but start at 500 mg to see how your body reacts.
Physical Therapy Resources:
–Tens Unit from Amazon. This is the one I use, although I’m sure there are others that are effective.
-Using a Foam Roller for Sciatica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ2eBL5KyNw . You can buy a foam roller at Dick’s Sporting Goods on US1 in Jensen Beach, or online: Basic Foam Roller
–Beginner Lower Back Stretches
–18 minute Stretch routine for Hips and Sciatica
–Shoulder opening and stretch (if you’d like to start a gentle yoga practice, this channel is great)
-If you’re a side sleeper experiencing neck pain and think it might be related to how you’re sleeping, try this cool pillow-tying technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Tpv9Ybcvc
