Why Pinched Nerves Develop

Pinched nerves form when structures in the spine—such as herniated or bulging discs, bone spurs, or tight muscles—apply excessive pressure to the nerve root. This compression disrupts nerve function and produces symptoms that may escalate over time if not treated properly.

Typical symptoms include:

• Radiating pain down the arms or legs that worsens during movement or sitting, making work, driving, or exercising very difficult.

• Burning, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensations that limit mobility and interfere with sleep or concentration.

• Numbness in the extremities that reduces strength and coordination, creating difficulty with simple daily tasks.

• Weakness and muscle fatigue that prevent patients from lifting, bending, or carrying out even routine household activities without pain.

If untreated, pinched nerves may cause long-term damage and lead to chronic pain.

Pinched Nerve Pain Treatments – Kearny Mesa, CA with the DRX9000

The Kearny Mesa clinic uses only the DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression system, considered the gold standard in decompression technology. Unlike basic traction or inversion devices, the DRX9000 is FDA-cleared, computer-guided, and validated by research from world-renowned medical centers including Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and the Mayo Clinic.

Key advantages include:

• Targeted spinal decompression: The DRX9000 separates vertebrae with precision, focusing directly on the disc that is pressing on the nerve root.

• Disc rehydration and repair: Decompression creates negative pressure inside the disc, allowing oxygen and nutrients to flow back in and support healing.

• Relief of nerve irritation: By reducing disc pressure, nerve compression is alleviated, which decreases inflammation and restores nerve function.

• Proven safety and clinical results: Studies confirm the DRX9000 as one of the safest and most effective methods for treating disc-related nerve pain.

• Custom settings for each patient: Treatment is adjusted for body type, spinal health, and condition severity, ensuring a tailored approach for every individual.

What Patients Are Saying

“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 specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”

“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.”
