🧠 Understanding Foraminal Stenosis

Foraminal stenosis occurs when the small openings (foramina) where spinal nerves exit become narrowed. This narrowing compresses the nerves and can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness throughout the body.

Common causes include:

Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Bone spurs and arthritis
Thickened ligaments
Postural faults or previous injuries

Typical symptoms:

Radiating pain into arms or legs
Numbness or tingling in hands or feet
Weakness or cramping with activity
Burning or sharp nerve pain
Pain worse when standing or walking
Relief when sitting or leaning forward

Early care with the right treatment plan can prevent long-term nerve damage and restore normal function without surgery.

💡 How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System is not general traction — it is an advanced, computer-guided therapy that safely relieves pressure inside the discs and around the nerves.

During each session:

The DRX9000 gently separates vertebrae to reduce compression on spinal nerves.
Bulging disc material is drawn back in place, easing nerve pressure.
Hydration and nutrients flow back into the discs to promote healing.
Each treatment is individually programmed based on MRI findings and comfort level.

Most patients report less pain and greater mobility within a few sessions, with continued improvement as treatment progresses.

💬 Real Patient Success Stories

Calder Pearce – San Diego, CA (3/07/25)

“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.

I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialists I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”

Summary: Calder regained full range of motion and eliminated pain after years of unsuccessful care elsewhere — without surgery.

Marlo Surovsky – San Diego, CA

“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.”

Summary: Marlo avoided surgery and became pain-free after 18 DRX9000 treatments — a complete turnaround after failed injections.

Lisa S. – United Kingdom

“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

Summary: Lisa flies from the UK for ongoing care that keeps her active and pain-free without surgery.

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA

“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!”

Summary: Kaitelyn went from bed-bound hours each day to exercising and living pain-free thanks to decompression and stability care.

🏡 At-Home Tips to Support Foraminal Stenosis Relief

These simple actions can complement professional care and help reduce daily discomfort:

Take short walks frequently – gentle motion improves blood flow and disc hydration.
Posture breaks – stand and stretch every 30 minutes if sitting long periods.
Extension stretches – lie face-down and gently press up through your hands 5–8 times daily.
Core activation – perform bird-dog or pelvic tilt exercises to support the spine.
Hydrate & sleep well – drink plenty of water and use a medium-firm mattress for spinal alignment.

These steps are not a replacement for care but can enhance comfort and stability between treatments.
