Are you looking for ways of how to treat disc bulges in San Diego CA? Many people are looking for the best way to get rid of their disc bulges and are tired of taking pain medications, getting injections and do not want to undergo back surgery.

 

Most patients typically go thru a similar path before they get to our office. They try pain medications, spinal injections, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, some also try massage therapy, home exercises, acupuncture and some undergo surgery.

 

The challenge with the above treatments is they are all focused on treating the symptoms and not the cause or the WHY of the problem. IN other words, how did the disc bulge and what i s currently causing it to bulge?

 

In our our office we have been specializing in treating disc bulges, disc herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis and other disc related issues in the neck and low back. For 16 years we have provided local San Diego residents as well as multiple international patients who fly in for treatment programs. 

 

We have provided over 25,000 treatments for disc conditions and counting. In order to specialize in these conditions, our clinic founder and director, Dr Cassidy Boelk DC has spent thousands of hours studying, researching, treating and lecturing about disc conditions. 

 

In order to properly treat a disc bulge, there needs to be a proper examination done to determine what stage of compression is the disc going thru. 

 

Depending on which stage the disc is going thru will determine the protocols for treatment. There are multiple factors involved and proper evaluation, history and diagnostic x-rays are a very important and necessary part of determine a patients eligibility for our program.

 

Here are 3 very important steps you can take right away to help decrease your pain:

 

  1. Reduce the amount of time you spend seated. An increase of 35% in pressure onto the discs is present when in a seated position.
  2. Be sure you are drinking enough water, 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water per day.
  3. Be sure to walk for 20 minutes 2-3 times per day, even if it is painful at first, the pain should reduce with consistency movement and walking will not cause damage to the discs.

"I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days were it was difficult to get out of bed.  There were moments where I would be walking and then my back would lock up.  I thought it was something I have dealt with in the past but this last the entire month of July.  I finally dedicated myself to finding the long term solution.  

 

I came to Dr. Boelk unsure about the process, but after he identified exactly what my ailment was, I felt confident that this was the long term solution I was looking for.

 

I instantly felt better and Dr. Boelk kept encouraging me to trust the process and understand it will take time to feel 100%.  I am now pain free and honestly feel stronger, even a little taller.   I highly recommend you visit Dr. Boelk." - Ming T.

 

"I highly recommend Dr.Boelk to everyone who has issues with their back and neck. After 2 months of treatment I am feeling a considerable difference. Dr. Boelk's skills and experience are incredible. Especially I appreciate his "very cautious and attentive " approach to the health: no unnecessary adjustment and procedures. I am very grateful to Dr.Boelk for his knowledgeable and professional treatment." - Olga M.

 

"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
