If you are looking for help with disc pain in San Diego Ca then you may want to continue reading on. We specialize in treating disc pain without the use of drugs,injections or spinal surgery. We instead utilize something called Spinal Decompression or NSSD, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. This treatment is very comfortable, is researched and proven highly effective by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo Clinic among others.
"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!"
It is a gentle, relaxing treatment that works by creating separation between the compressed spinal vertebrae and releasing the pressure that is compressing the spinal disc. The disc then releases the pressure or "pinch" it is having on the spinal nerve that is causing the pain. At the same time the spinal discs are then able to get water, oxygen and nutrients once again to begin healing as well as flushing out swelling and inflammation that is adding to the pain.
Unlike traction or inversion tables, the decompression machines we have been using for the last 18 years have 3 computers in each and during the treatment they are monitoring the muscles up to 16 times per second to ensure the muscles don't try to resist treatment and start pulling back once again.
Spinal decompression is an amazing treatment that works very well but it has to be done properly and individualized and specific for each patient. There needs to be proper pre and post treatments and therapies and a spinal stabilization protocol is. a must to keep the pain from returning. Thoroughness and attention to detail are key as well as the doctors experience, knowledge and understanding of spinal discs and decompression therapy.
Many of our patients come to see us as they are attempting to avoid back or neck surgery and do not want the side effects or long term damage that can result from surgery.
There are many offices in San Diego who advertise to be experts in spinal decompression. It may be of benefit for you to do some research. There are multiple factors that go into utilizing spinal decompression properly. Unfortunately many offices are unaware of the proper protocols, are not certified and are "experts" at multiple services.
Realistically spinal decompression is a full time and all hands on deck treatment that requires significant knowledge of disc injuries, healing mechanisms, spinal biomechanics, spinal rehabilitation and spinal stabilization and multiple years of experience. Being an expert is said to require a minimum of 10,000 repetitions of something. Many offices have been utilizing decompression for only a few years to months and are advertising as experts, so just be aware of who you are seeing. We have compiled a quick reference guide to help.
Our treatment protocols are highly successful, personal and unique to each patient and the equipment we utilize has been proven effective by Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo clinic among others.
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.

There are many offices that claim they are experts at spinal decompression but unfortunately lack the experience, knowledge and years it takes to become an expert. We have been utilizing decompression in San Diego for the past 18 years and have seen many offices and doctors come and go and many pop up and are instantly experts. Over the past 18 years we have performed over 30,000 spinal decompression visits and we are considered experts in spinal decompression.

We treat both local San Diego as well as out of town residents as far away as Alaska and Spain and typically have patients from Mexico, El Centro, Calexico in our office daily. Spinal Decompression is a very relaxing, comfortable and effective treatment that helps patients with the following conditions:
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Neck Pain
Herniated Discs
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.

"Dr. Boelk is first class. I came to him with lower back pain that from time to time would cause my back to enter into an acute stage where everyday life was a struggle. I have dealt with this for years as it only happened a couple times a year with usually a one week recovery. As the years passed, the recovery time increased. I finally decided I needed more than the normal adjustments and I was recommended to Dr. Boelk. On the first visit, he developed a plan and began treatment right away. His explanations were very common sense oriented and realistic. His plan was consistent and helped shape a better dedication to my core strength. Although I have had setbacks due to my own activities, he has constantly been there to get me back to a healthy state. He has given me the best chance to avoid surgery. Thank you Dr. Boelk for your time, effort and encouragement."

"Dr. Boelk is so kind and knowledgeable. I became a patient earlier in the year with terrible sciatic pain. He suggested a course of treatment and after several visits the pain began to subside. I finished my treatments and am maintaining well. I see him less frequently now and it’s keeping my pain at bay. I couldn’t praise him enough. If you have neck or back pain call Dr. Boelk, he is amazing!"
