Pinched Nerves Pain Relief in Kearny Mesa, CA
Understanding the Cause and Finding Lasting Solutions
A pinched nerve can cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that disrupts daily activities and limits mobility. This occurs when excess pressure from surrounding structures—such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or tight muscles—compresses a nerve, leading to irritation and dysfunction. Many people struggle for months or even years with these symptoms, seeking relief through medications, injections, or even surgery without addressing the root cause of the problem.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in identifying and treating the true source of pinched nerve pain using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), active rehabilitation, and spinal stability training. This comprehensive approach ensures long-term relief without unnecessary drugs or surgery.
Why Does a Nerve Get Pinched?
A pinched nerve can develop from a variety of spinal conditions, including:
✅ Herniated or Bulging Discs – When a disc protrudes, it can press directly on a nerve, leading to sharp, radiating pain.
✅ Degenerative Disc Disease – As spinal discs lose height over time, the spaces where nerves exit become smaller, increasing nerve compression.
✅ Spinal Stenosis – A narrowing of the spinal canal can restrict nerve function, causing pain, weakness, or numbness in the arms or legs.
✅ Poor Posture & Muscle Imbalances – Chronic poor posture, repetitive movements, and weak spinal stabilizers can contribute to nerve irritation.
Many people suffering from pinched nerve symptoms only receive treatment for the pain, rather than the cause, leading to ongoing discomfort and frustration.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps
At our Kearny Mesa clinic, we use FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with DRX9000 technology, a highly effective method for relieving pinched nerves caused by disc compression.
💡 How It Works:
✔ Gently decompresses the spine to relieve pressure on nerves and discs.
✔ Creates space for bulging or herniated discs to retract, reducing nerve compression.
✔ Restores hydration and nutrients to spinal discs, allowing them to heal naturally.
✔ Reduces inflammation and restores nerve function.
Unlike invasive treatments, spinal decompression is completely non-invasive, drug-free, and backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.
The Importance of Active Therapy & Spinal Stability
While spinal decompression is a powerful tool for relieving nerve compression, long-term relief requires more than just passive treatment. That’s why our approach combines decompression therapy with active rehabilitation and spinal stability training, ensuring that patients don’t just feel better temporarily but stay pain-free.
🔹 Spinal Mobility & Flexibility Work – Helps restore proper movement patterns to prevent future nerve compression.
🔹 Core & Spinal Stability Training – Strengthens the deep stabilizing muscles that support the spine, reducing excess strain on nerves.
🔹 Postural & Movement Corrections – Educates patients on proper body mechanics for sitting, standing, lifting, and exercising to prevent reinjury.
This comprehensive approach is why so many patients who have failed other treatments finally experience relief at our clinic.
Home Care Strategies for Pinched Nerve Relief
In addition to professional treatments, patients can take steps at home to help relieve pinched nerve symptoms and support recovery:
✔ Proper Rest & Sleep Positions – Avoid positions that put excess pressure on the spine, and use a supportive pillow and mattress.
✔ Postural Adjustments – Maintain good posture throughout the day, whether sitting, standing, or working at a computer.
✔ Heat & Ice Therapy – Ice reduces inflammation, while heat relaxes tight muscles that could be compressing the nerve.
✔ Gentle Stretching & Mobility Exercises – Movements designed to open up the spine and relieve nerve tension can help reduce discomfort.
✔ Stay Active – Avoid prolonged inactivity, but listen to your body and avoid movements that worsen symptoms.
What Patients Are Saying
Patients from Kearny Mesa and beyond have found life-changing relief at our clinic. Here’s what they have to say:
I will be going back on the 3rd week. I can definitely see that my condition has improved a lot due to the treatments. I used to take Tylenol a lot for the pain and I can't remember the last time I took one. I will continue to maintain my sessions per doctor recommendations. I came in with severe pain, defeated, almost crying, and unable to hold up a bottle of water or lift a barbell and now I am able to do that and so much more. Please, please give this place a chance. I gave them not 1 but 2 chances, and it has changed my life drastically! I cannot stress how nice and caring the staff really is, especially the Doctor, they genuinely want you to get better. - Julianne E., San Diego, CA
“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocoss neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion form another neurosurgeon. On top of this, he did not charge me anything... To me, this tells the story: he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and recommend him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!” - Jan H.

"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
