Car Injury Back Pain Help in San Diego, CA: How to Find Relief
Car accidents are an unfortunate reality that many people face, and even minor collisions can lead to significant back pain. In many cases, the root cause of this pain is spinal disc compression, a condition that can develop when the force of an accident causes the spinal discs to become compressed, herniated, or bulged. Identifying and properly treating this type of injury is crucial for long-term recovery and pain relief.
Why Car Accidents Often Lead to Disc Compression
During a car accident, the body is subjected to sudden and intense forces, even at low speeds. These forces can place immense pressure on the spine, causing the discs—the cushions between the vertebrae—to compress or shift out of place. This compression can lead to:
✅ Disc bulges or herniations
✅ Nerve compression, leading to radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs
✅ Muscle spasms and stiffness
✅ Decreased mobility and chronic discomfort
Many people walk away from car accidents feeling only minor soreness, only to develop more significant pain and symptoms days or weeks later. This is why early evaluation is so important.
Why a Thorough Evaluation is Essential
Determining the exact source of back pain after a car accident is critical. While disc compression is a common cause, other potential issues—such as muscle strains, ligament injuries, or joint dysfunction—must also be ruled out. Without proper diagnosis, treatment may be ineffective or even harmful.
A comprehensive evaluation typically includes:
🔎 A detailed medical history and discussion of how the accident occurred
🔎 Physical examination to assess posture, range of motion, and nerve function
🔎 Advanced imaging (such as MRI or X-rays) to identify disc-related injuries or nerve impingement
Only with a thorough examination can an accurate diagnosis be made and an effective treatment plan be developed.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Can Help
If disc compression or herniation is confirmed as the source of pain, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) may be an excellent solution. NSSD is a gentle, FDA-cleared treatment that works by gradually stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This allows bulging or herniated disc material to retract, relieving pressure on the nerves and promoting healing.
Benefits of NSSD include:
✅ Non-invasive with no surgery or injections
✅ Painless with no downtime or recovery period
✅ Promotes natural disc healing by improving nutrient flow
✅ Effective for many patients who have tried other treatments without success

I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.
Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews)
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan.
I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just commiting to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.

The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!
