PINCHED NERVE IN NECK TREATMENT SAN DIEGO, CA

Understanding Your Options For Neck Pain, Arm Pain, Numbness, Tingling & Cervical Disc Problems Without Surgery

If you're searching for treatment for a pinched nerve in your neck, you're not alone.

Every week, patients visit The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego suffering from:

✔ Neck Pain

✔ Arm Pain

✔ Shoulder Blade Pain

✔ Numbness In The Arm

✔ Tingling In The Hand

✔ Burning Pain

✔ Weakness

✔ Headaches

✔ Difficulty Sleeping

✔ Pain While Driving

✔ Pain While Working At A Computer

Many patients initially believe the problem is in their shoulder, arm, elbow, or wrist.

However, in many cases the source of the problem may actually be originating from the cervical spine (neck).

One of the most common things patients tell Dr. Cassidy Boelk is:

"My arm hurts more than my neck."

Others say:

"My hand keeps going numb."

Or:

"I wake up in the middle of the night with pain shooting into my arm."

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Understanding what may actually be causing your symptoms is often the first step toward making an informed decision about your health.

SCHEDULE A NO-CHARGE CONSULTATION

If you're suffering from:

✔ Pinched Nerve In The Neck

✔ Neck Pain

✔ Arm Pain

✔ Numbness

✔ Tingling

✔ Cervical Disc Bulge

✔ Cervical Herniated Disc

✔ Shoulder Blade Pain

✔ Chronic Neck Pain

Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC offers a No-Charge Consultation to help determine whether you may be a candidate for care.

During your consultation, Dr. Boelk may help you better understand:

✔ What your MRI findings actually mean

✔ Whether a cervical disc injury may be contributing to your symptoms

✔ Whether nerve irritation may be involved

✔ Why your symptoms continue returning

✔ Whether Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) may be appropriate

✔ Whether another option may be more appropriate

Because Dr. Boelk personally performs consultations and MRI reviews himself, consultation availability is limited each week.

"I WAS TOLD SURGERY WAS LIKELY MY NEXT OPTION"

"I've been seeing Dr. Boelk for almost four years, and it has been one of the best healthcare decisions I've ever made.

I was diagnosed with severe cervical disc bulging, dizziness, neck pain, and numbness and tingling into my arms and hands. After trying multiple chiropractors, traction machines, and pain management specialists, I was told surgery was likely my next option.

Then I found Dr. Boelk. He explained how spinal decompression could help and developed a treatment plan specific to my condition. My pain level dropped from a 7 down to a 3 after several intensive sessions and eventually improved to a 1–2 with maintenance care.

During my most recent MRI, the images showed my cervical spine had returned to a much more normal position.

I continue with maintenance care and am incredibly thankful I found Dr. Boelk. He is practical, professional, and one of my favorite doctors. I highly recommend giving him a chance."

WHAT IS A PINCHED NERVE IN THE NECK?

A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve becomes irritated or compressed.

Common causes may include:

✔ Cervical Disc Bulges

✔ Cervical Disc Herniations

✔ Degenerative Disc Disease

✔ Foraminal Narrowing

✔ Bone Spurs

✔ Disc Degeneration

When a nerve becomes irritated, symptoms may travel away from the neck and into:

✔ The Shoulder

✔ Shoulder Blade

✔ Arm

✔ Forearm

✔ Hand

✔ Fingers

This is one reason many patients are surprised to learn the source of their arm symptoms may actually be in their neck.

COMMON PINCHED NERVE SYMPTOMS

Patients suffering from a pinched nerve in the neck frequently report:

✔ Neck Pain

✔ Arm Pain

✔ Burning Sensations

✔ Tingling In The Fingers

✔ Hand Numbness

✔ Weakness

✔ Shoulder Blade Pain

✔ Difficulty Sleeping

✔ Pain While Looking Down

✔ Pain While Working At A Computer

Some patients experience severe neck pain.

Others experience very little neck pain and primarily notice symptoms in the arm or hand.

WHY DO PINCHED NERVE SYMPTOMS OFTEN FEEL WORSE AT NIGHT?

Many patients tell us:

"I can get through the day, but nighttime is miserable."

Common complaints include:

✔ Arm Pain While Sleeping

✔ Numb Hands

✔ Waking Multiple Times Per Night

✔ Difficulty Finding A Comfortable Position

✔ Pain Into The Shoulder Blade

Unfortunately, sleep disruption can quickly affect:

✔ Energy Levels

✔ Mood

✔ Recovery

✔ Daily Function

This is one reason many patients seek help before symptoms continue progressing.

"THE FLARE-UPS COMPLETELY STOPPED"

"I initially saw Dr. Boelk for a pinched nerve in my shoulder that would flare up in the middle of the night, causing severe pain and disrupting my sleep. It even started affecting my confidence during workouts because I was worried about triggering another episode.

During my first visit, Dr. Boelk performed a thorough examination and quickly identified the source of the problem. After only a few treatments, the flare-ups completely stopped and I was able to return to my normal routine.

He also gave me valuable tools and exercises to help prevent future issues and provided helpful advice regarding my extremely tight shoulders.

I've continued to return periodically for adjustments and always leave feeling better.

Dr. Boelk and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about their patients. I highly recommend him."

NOT EVERY PATIENT IS A CANDIDATE

One thing many patients appreciate about Dr. Boelk is honesty.

Not every patient qualifies.

Not every patient can avoid surgery.

And not every patient should undergo spinal decompression treatment.

One consultation patient shared:

"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."
