Success Stories From Patients

Calder Pearce – San Diego, CA (3/07/25)
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I had lower back problems for 5+ years and saw 6 other doctors. I came in not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February, I was bending again with minimal pain, and by March I was completely pain-free. I am EXTREMELY happy I avoided surgery and found Dr. Boelk.”

Marlo Surovsky – San Diego, CA
“After two failed cortisone shots and being told surgery might be my only option, I found Dr. Boelk. I never felt rushed, I felt heard, and his treatment plan worked. After 18 treatments I am completely pain-free. No meds. Just committing to the plan. This was life-changing.”

Lisa S. – United Kingdom
“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his team. I have 3 bulging discs and one pressing on a nerve. The DRX9000 decompression treatments keep me active and pain-free. I will not go anywhere else.”

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA
“I went from needing to lay down for hours a day to living normally and exercising again. The care, the decompression, and the exercises Dr. Boelk gave me have been life-changing. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my back.”
