Pinched Nerve and Lower Back Treatment – La Jolla, CA

A pinched nerve in the lower back can cause sharp pain, numbness, burning, leg weakness, or sciatica that disrupts nearly every part of life. Many people look specifically for Pinched Nerve and Lower Back Treatment – La Jolla, CA because they’re tired of temporary relief and want a treatment that solves the underlying problem instead of masking symptoms.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk, DC has spent almost 21 years specializing exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and California X-ray–licensed chiropractor, he combines advanced technology with customized protocols to help patients avoid unnecessary surgery and get back to living pain-free.

Why Pinched Nerves Happen

Pinched nerves in the lower back commonly come from:

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Degenerative disc changes

• Dehydrated or thinning discs

• Compression from long-term sitting or repetitive strain

• Spinal instability

• Sciatic nerve irritation

When disc pressure becomes too great, the nerve becomes inflamed—leading many La Jolla patients to urgently search for Pinched Nerve and Lower Back Treatment – La Jolla, CA.

How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Helps

The DRX9000 is an advanced, FDA-cleared spinal decompression system designed to reduce pressure inside the discs and gently create space around irritated nerves.

When used correctly and customized to the patient, decompression can:

• Reduce or eliminate sciatic pain

• Restore disc hydration

• Improve mobility

• Reduce inflammation

• Allow natural healing

• Reduce the likelihood of surgery

Dr. Boelk’s clinic houses 7 DRX9000 machines, making it the largest known DRX9000 center in California. He has performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments and trains doctors nationwide on how to use these systems properly.

Patient Success Stories

Testimonial 1

“Hi my name is Mercedes Bautista. I found out about this treatment on the internet and I came because I was searching for a doctor for my friend. I have always had low back problems, so Dr. Boelk suggested that I have an MRI done. I decided to go ahead and do it and what I found out was astonishing. Dr. Boelk told me I had a bulging disc and that my discs were dehydrated. I went home very surprised and even scared.
That night with my husband I cried. My husband and I both talked about it and decided that the finances were worth getting my back fixed. The next thing we had to figure out was how I was going to get here, because I live in El Centro.
So we decided we were going to rent a car and I travel here 4 times a week. The girls here are wonderful and very awesome. They make you feel like family, it’s an extremely relaxing environment. I feel better and I have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank You!”
— Mercedes Bautista, Age 42, El Centro, CA

Summary:
Mercedes traveled long distances multiple times a week because decompression finally offered the answers and improvements she had been searching for.

“Hi 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. The payments are easy and I would recommend this to anyone suffering with low back pain. Thank You”
— Rosa Algravez, Age 58, Calexico, CA

Summary:
After years of failed treatments, Rosa regained her independence and daily function through decompression care.

“My name is Ira Smith. I live in Las Vegas and found out about Dr. Boelk’s program here in San Diego and decided to start treatments with him. I’ve had lower back problems since I was very young. I had aggravated my lower back pretty bad again and usually I could do exercises, chiropractic treatment, rest and this time those things would no longer relieve my pain. I would get the sciatic pain shooting down into my leg and foot and would be pretty bad.
I found out thru my MRI’s that Dr. Boelk went over with me that I had 5 protruding discs. I did not want to get surgery as I have heard and seen that they don’t always work very well at all. I am 2/3 of the way done with Dr. Boelk’s program and I have zero pain. I pretty much go thru my activities with no pain. As I follow the program it has been absolutely fantastic! I have been thru physical therapy, chiropractic programs, I went to the hospital and they told me I have 1 bad disc, but I found out I had 4 more bad discs as well. The treatment has relieved the pain and is not painful at all. This can be the starting point for anyone with back pain to get their life back.
This is the place to start. If your skeptical, what’s your health worth? The cost of this has been way less than the cost of all my other therapies that I have gone thru. This is less money than all those things, less pain and gives you a great quality of life. This is new and modern and it fixes the problem. Use Dr. Boelk’s program to change your life and it will change your life! This is the place to start. -Thank You”
— Ira Smith, Age 49, Las Vegas, Nevada

Summary:
Ira avoided surgery, eliminated sciatic pain, and returned to normal activity after discovering the true source of his symptoms.
