One of the most common questions Dr. Cassidy James Boelk, DC hears is:

Success depends on:

"IT HURT SO BAD IT MADE ME WANT TO CRY"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
*"I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!"*

Why Doesn't Back Pain Just Go Away?
One of the biggest reasons some spinal disc injuries continue causing pain is that spinal discs have a limited blood supply.
Unlike muscles, spinal discs depend heavily on:
- Fluid exchange
- Oxygen exchange
- Nutrient exchange
- Normal movement
Many patients experience a frustrating cycle:
- Pain improves.
- Pain returns.
- Symptoms calm down.
- Symptoms flare up again.
This can continue for months—or even years.
Many people begin believing nothing can be done.
In reality, they may simply not have received the correct diagnosis or the most appropriate treatment for their condition.
