Lower Back Pain Treatment Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA


Patient Experience

“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”

Chronic low back pain and sciatica for over a decade resolved after failing multiple treatments and nearing surgery.


Start Here: Low Back Pain Consultation — Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’re dealing with ongoing lower back pain, it can feel frustrating—especially when you’ve tried multiple things and nothing seems to hold.

At some point, most patients aren’t just looking for temporary relief. They’re looking for clarity.

👉 The first step is understanding what may actually be causing the pain

At our office in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Boelk begins with a no-charge consultation where he sits down with you one-on-one and works through your case carefully.


What Happens During This Consultation

This is not a rushed visit. The goal is to fully understand your situation.

  • Your symptoms and history are reviewed in detail
  • Previous treatments are discussed to understand what has or hasn’t worked
  • Any MRI or imaging is reviewed together
  • You’ll receive a clear explanation of what may be going on
  • The role of disc pressure, nerve irritation, and movement is discussed
  • You’ll learn how Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression works and when it may be appropriate

What You’ll Walk Away With

Most patients leave this visit feeling more confident because they finally understand their condition.

  • A clearer understanding of what may be causing your pain
  • Insight into whether your condition could be disc-related
  • A better understanding of your options moving forward
  • Answers before making any decisions

If it appears that you may be a candidate, a more detailed physical evaluation and any necessary imaging can be performed to confirm exactly what is happening.

👉 This consultation is provided at no charge and is focused on helping you make the right decision before moving forward.

Why Lower Back Pain Keeps Coming Back

Many people are told their pain is caused by muscle tightness or inflammation. While that can be part of the picture, it often isn’t the full story.

In many cases, recurring lower back pain is related to:

  • Pressure inside a spinal disc
  • Irritation of nearby nerves
  • Poor movement patterns over time
  • Lack of stability in the spine

When the underlying issue isn’t addressed, the pain tends to return—even if it temporarily improves.


How Treatment Is Approached

When someone is determined to be a good candidate, the focus is on addressing both the source of the problem and how the body is functioning around it.

This typically includes three key components:

Reducing Disc Pressure

Decreasing internal pressure within the disc can help reduce irritation on surrounding structures and improve how the spine moves.

Improving Movement Patterns

Many patients unknowingly move in ways that continue to aggravate their condition. Identifying and correcting these patterns is essential.

Building Stability

Long-term improvement requires strengthening the spine and surrounding muscles so the problem does not keep returning.


Why the DRX9000 Matters (Research & Clinical Support)

Not all spinal decompression treatments are the same.

The DRX9000 spinal decompression system is designed to deliver a more precise and controlled form of decompression compared to generalized traction.

  • It uses a logarithmic pull pattern to reduce muscle guarding
  • It adjusts continuously based on the patient’s response
  • It targets specific spinal levels with accuracy
  • It allows for repeatable, consistent treatment sessions

This type of decompression has been studied and referenced in clinical settings and is associated with high rates of pain reduction and functional improvement.

Conservative spine care approaches like this have been supported in research and clinical practice by institutions such as:

  • Johns Hopkins University
  • Duke University Medical Center
  • Mayo Clinic
  • Stanford University School of Medicine

While not every patient is a candidate, these approaches are often considered before moving toward more invasive procedures.


What You Can Do Right Now

While you are working to understand the cause of your pain, there are a few things that may help reduce irritation.

Taking short walks throughout the day can help keep the spine moving without placing too much stress on it. Changing positions regularly and avoiding prolonged sitting can reduce pressure on the discs. Maintaining good posture and staying hydrated can also play a role.

At the same time, it is important to avoid aggressive stretching into pain, repeated bending, or pushing through worsening symptoms.


Patient Experience

“My name is Rosa Algravez. I have suffered from leg numbness and low back pain for 4 years. I haven’t been able to do groceries or even take baths without pain. I looked for relief with various doctors with no luck. I have done treatments ranging from chiropractic to acupuncture. My husband found Dr. Boelk in the newspaper and we decided since we had tried everything else that we were going to give this a try. After my first few treatments, I feel as though I have returned to 100%. Life for me is completely different.
My husband and I have returned to enjoying life. We travel 300+ miles everyday from Calexico. I can do things now with little to no limitations. The staff makes you feel welcomed and it’s a very family environment.”

— Rosa Algravez, Calexico, CA

Severe low back pain and functional limitations improved significantly after failing multiple treatments.


When Surgery May Still Be Necessary

“Very nice Dr. and Honest! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in their back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case. As I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around.”
— Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA

Patients receive clear, honest recommendations—even when they are not candidates.
