Choosing A Spinal Decompression Therapy Office In San Diego

Choosing A Spinal Decompression Therapy Office In San Diego
 

In the vast array of treatments for disc herniations, patients can easily become overwhelmed by the choices available: conservative pain management with medication, more invasive spinal injections, or the most dramatic and invasive choice of all—spinal surgery. At Dr. Boelks' clinic, however, a ground-breaking therapy known as Spinal Decompression Therapy has emerged as an intelligent and effective first choice for those suffering from disc herniations.

1. Non-Invasive and Non-Pharmacological Approach
Unlike medications, injections or surgery, Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive treatment, devoid of the risks typically associated with surgical procedures such as infection, bleeding, or nerve damage. This technique involves a motorized traction that helps relieve back pain by gently stretching the spine, changing the force and position of the spine, and removing pressure from the spinal disks.

Also, unlike pharmacological methods, spinal decompression therapy does not introduce foreign substances into the body, which can cause potential side-effects or allergic reactions. It is a holistic approach that directly targets the root cause of the pain rather than just masking it.

2. Enhancing Natural Healing
Spinal decompression works by promoting the body's innate healing mechanisms. It creates negative pressure within the disc, causing a vacuum effect that draws herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc. This promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs so they can heal naturally.

3. Cost-Effective
In comparison to the potentially staggering costs of spinal surgery or a long-term medication plan, spinal decompression therapy emerges as a cost-effective choice for many patients. It offers an affordable and sustainable solution without the risks of extended post-operative care, prolonged medication use, or disruption to one's daily life and work schedule.

4. Proven Effectiveness
At Dr. Boelks' clinic, many patients have experienced significant improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life after undergoing spinal decompression therapy. Multiple scientific studies also support the efficacy of spinal decompression therapy in relieving chronic back pain and improving patient functionality.

5. Suitable for Multiple Conditions
Spinal decompression therapy is not only effective for disc herniations but also for other conditions such as sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and post-surgical pain. This broad range of applicability makes it a versatile treatment option.

Conclusion
In considering treatment options for disc herniations, spinal decompression therapy at Dr. Boelks' clinic offers a smart first choice for many patients. It targets the root cause of the problem, promotes natural healing, is cost-effective, proven effective, and versatile.

Of course, each patient's condition is unique, and the choice of treatment must be individualized based on the specific condition and overall health status. However, given the potential benefits, spinal decompression therapy is undeniably worth considering as a first-line treatment.

Remember, it is essential to have an open dialogue with your healthcare provider about your symptoms and treatment options. If you're dealing with disc herniation or similar conditions, consider exploring the benefits of spinal decompression therapy with Dr. Boelks' team. Their commitment to holistic, patient-centered care could set you on the path to recovery and improved quality of life.

"Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day & within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high.
 
Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people. I've never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before.
 
There would be 4 people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I guess I just cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth. If you visit him, please listen to him & follow his instructions. He knows what's best for you. " - Erin T
 
 Rated the #1 Spinal Decompression office in San Diego for many reasons. Here is a quick guide to finding the best office when searching for Spinal Decompression:

 
1. Does the office specialize In Spinal Decompression or is it just one of many multiple treatments they offer? We have seen many patients come from other offices who said they are specialists and experts in spinal decompression but only treat 3 or 4 patients a day on decompression.

 
2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments? Spinal Decompression is a specialized skill and requires daily decision making and protocols vary from person to person, it is not a one size fits all approach. Many patients come from different offices and inform us they were getting decompression but it was done by the staff and many times they are in pain when on the tables. The treatments should not be painful but feel good.

 
3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing spinal decompression who are not certified. It is best to see someone who took the time and learned the process and is certified.

 
4. Do they have a good reputation and reviews that report the doctor and office and staff are looking out for the patient and there is a common theme of the doctor caring and wanting the best for their patients?


5. Experience? How long has the office been utilizing spinal decompression? How many sessions have they performed? You want to see someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge in their field when looking for spinal decompression offices.

Spinal Decompression is a very relaxing, comfortable and effective treatment that helps patients with the following conditions:

Slipped Discs

 

Pinched Nerves

 

Disc Bulges

 

Degenerative Disc Disease

 

Sciatica

 

Spinal Stenosis

 

Neuropathy

 


With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.
