Back Pain Specialist – Kearny Mesa, CA

Patient Experience

“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”
— Toni H., San Diego, CA

Chronic back pain and sciatica for a decade resolved after failing multiple treatments and nearing surgery.

Start Here: Back Pain Consultation — Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’re searching for a back pain specialist, the first step isn’t jumping into treatment.

It’s getting a clear understanding of what may be causing your pain.

At our office in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Boelk begins with a no-charge consultation to review your case in detail.

What Happens During This Consultation

  • Detailed review of your symptoms and history
  • Discussion of what you’ve already tried
  • Review of MRI or imaging (if available)
  • Explanation of how disc and nerve issues may be involved

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A clearer understanding of what may be causing your pain
  • Insight into whether your condition could be disc-related

If it appears you may be a candidate, the next step is a more detailed physical evaluation and any necessary imaging to confirm the findings.

What a Back Pain Specialist Actually Does

Many people are told their pain is due to:

  • muscle tightness
  • inflammation
  • general “wear and tear”

In many cases, the underlying issue may involve:

  • disc pressure
  • nerve irritation
  • poor movement patterns
  • lack of stability

Understanding the source is what determines the right approach.

Common Conditions We See

  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Sciatica
  • Pinched nerves
  • Chronic lower back pain

Why Back Pain Keeps Returning

Temporary relief approaches may include:

  • stretching
  • adjustments
  • medications

These can help symptoms, but if the underlying cause isn’t addressed, the pain often returns.

How Treatment Is Approached

When appropriate, care focuses on three areas:

Reducing Disc Pressure

Helps decrease irritation to nearby nerves.

Improving Movement

Identifies and corrects patterns that aggravate the spine.

Building Stability

Strengthens the spine to reduce recurrence.

Technology Used

The clinic uses the DRX9000 spinal decompression system to:

  • target specific spinal levels
  • adjust based on patient response
  • reduce muscle guarding
  • provide consistent decompression

What You Can Do at Home

Helpful:

  • short, frequent walks
  • posture awareness
  • position changes throughout the day
  • hydration

Avoid:

  • prolonged sitting
  • aggressive stretching into pain
  • repeated bending
  • ignoring worsening symptoms

Out-of-Town Patient Experience

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk. After treatment I am back to shoveling snow, teaching school, taking walks. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”
— Lynn C., Alaska

Severe pain limiting walking and sleep improved enough to return to normal life after traveling for care.

When You May Not Be a Candidate

“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocross neck injury… He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion from another neurosurgeon.”
— Jan H., San Marcos, CA

Patients receive honest guidance, even when treatment is not appropriate.
