“HE SAVED MY LIFE”

"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life.

It was a regular routine of adjustments and exercises. A change of life patterns but 110% worth every effort. I have since had my wife, daughter, mother, father and multiple friends and clients visit Dr. Boelk. All thanking me for the referral. Last one was my firefighting friend that had horrible sciatica. He is now on the recovery train.

So without a doubt, if you are on the verge of surgery, don't do it until you give this Dr a chance to examine you 1st. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.

I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!"

WHAT IS SEVERE SCIATICA?

Sciatica is not actually a diagnosis.

Sciatica is a description of symptoms caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Many patients searching for a:

Severe Sciatica Chiropractor – Mira Mesa, CA

experience:

  • Burning Leg Pain

  • Tingling Into The Foot

  • Numbness

  • Electrical Pain

  • Weakness

  • Difficulty Sitting

  • Difficulty Driving

  • Difficulty Sleeping

The important question becomes:

WHY is the nerve irritated?

Common findings may include:

  • Disc Herniations

  • Disc Bulges

  • Degenerative Disc Disease

  • Nerve Compression

  • Inflammation

  • Spinal Instability

This is why Dr. Boelk evaluates much more than simply where symptoms are felt.


WHY MANY SCIATICA CASES INVOLVE THE DISC

One of the biggest misconceptions patients have is assuming the problem is located where they feel the pain.

In reality, many severe sciatica cases originate in the lower back.

When a disc becomes injured, it may place pressure on nearby nerves.

This pressure may create symptoms that travel:

✔ Into The Buttock

✔ Down The Thigh

✔ Into The Calf

✔ Into The Foot

✔ Into The Toes

The pain may move around from day to day.

Some days it may feel like a back problem.

Other days it may feel like a leg problem.

That is why a proper evaluation is so important.


WHY DISC PROBLEMS OFTEN STRUGGLE TO HEAL

One challenge with spinal discs is their limited blood supply.

Unlike muscles, discs do not receive abundant circulation.

Instead, they rely heavily on:

  • Fluid Exchange

  • Oxygen Exchange

  • Nutrient Exchange

  • Movement

This is one reason many patients continue struggling for months or even years.

The body can heal many injuries surprisingly well.

Disc injuries often require a more specific approach.


WHY MANY COMMON TREATMENTS DON'T ALWAYS ADDRESS THE DISC

Many treatments can help reduce symptoms.

Examples include:

  • Medications

  • Massage Therapy

  • Stretching

  • Chiropractic Adjustments

  • Injections

These approaches may be beneficial for certain patients.

However, many do not directly address disc compression itself.

This is one reason patients often continue searching for answers after trying multiple treatments.


WHY WE USE NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

Dr. Boelk specializes in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

The goal is to reduce pressure affecting the disc and surrounding nerve structures.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk exclusively uses:

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Systems

The clinic currently operates:

7 DRX9000 Systems

  • 4 Lumbar Systems

  • 3 Cervical Systems

Making it one of the largest spinal decompression facilities in California.

Over the years Dr. Boelk has performed:

More Than 100,000 Spinal Decompression Treatments

and has trained doctors nationwide through the Spinal Decompression Training Academy.


5 THINGS SOME SCIATICA PATIENTS MAY TRY AT HOME

⚠️ These suggestions are not appropriate for everyone and are not intended to replace a proper evaluation.

1. Avoid Prolonged Sitting

Many patients notice worsening symptoms while:

  • Driving

  • Working At A Desk

  • Flying

  • Sitting On The Couch

2. Walk Frequently

Many patients report walking feels better than prolonged sitting.

3. Stay Hydrated

Spinal discs depend heavily on fluid exchange.

4. Pay Attention To Triggers

Notice what makes symptoms better or worse.

5. Avoid Repeated Bending And Twisting If It Consistently Aggravates Symptoms

Many patients unknowingly continue irritating the injured tissue.


“THE SCIATICA IS GONE AND I'M ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL”

"I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego.

They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines.

I've been to other places with sub par machines and didn't get any benefit.

Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person.

Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I'm almost back to normal.

Didn't think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months.

Definitely worth the investment."

— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA


WHY ACTIVE THERAPY MATTERS

One of the biggest mistakes patients make is relying entirely on passive treatment.

While reducing disc pressure can be extremely important, long-term success often requires:

  • Better Core Stability

  • Better Hip Function

  • Better Movement Patterns

  • Better Strength

  • Better Posture

This is one reason Dr. Boelk incorporates active rehabilitation and stability training into treatment recommendations.


WHY PATIENTS TRAVEL TO SEE DR. BOELK

Patients routinely travel from:

  • Mira Mesa

  • Scripps Ranch

  • Poway

  • Rancho Bernardo

  • Chula Vista

  • Arizona

  • Nevada

  • Oregon

  • Alaska

  • Mexico

  • Spain

  • The United Kingdom

to seek Dr. Boelk's expertise.

Most are not traveling because of a machine.

They are seeking:

  • Experience

  • Customized Protocols

  • Honest Recommendations

  • A Non-Surgical Option


“I COULD GET BACK TO SURF, JIU JITSU AND WORK”

"When I first came here I was suffering from sciatica pain for several months non stop.

I tried many different non invasive treatments, pain killers but relief was just temporary.

I heard about Dr. Boelk on social media and after reading other people testimonials about him I decided to try.

It felt better since my first session.

After 12 I felt I was improving a lot but still had room to get better so we decided trying 12 more.

After 36 sessions I felt I was back to normal.

I could get back to surf, jiu jitsu and work after 6 months away.

Doctor helped me through the whole process, leaving me free to decide the next step and being honest about expectations.

I totally recommend for all my friends that suffer from sciatica pain.

It's worth 100%."

— Yuri Fresia


NOT EVERY PATIENT IS A CANDIDATE

One reason many doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors and former patients continue referring people to Dr. Boelk is his willingness to tell patients when treatment is not appropriate.

Some patients may require:

  • Additional Imaging

  • Surgical Consultation

  • Different Conservative Treatment

  • Co-Management

  • Further Medical Evaluation

Not everyone qualifies.

Not everyone can avoid surgery.

And not everyone should undergo spinal decompression.


“HE REALLY CARES ABOUT PEOPLE”

"I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocross neck injury.

At the hospital I felt I was getting pressured into surgery which I refused.

Dr. Boelk looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery.

He could not treat me because additional healing was necessary first.

He also recommended another opinion from a neurosurgeon.

My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in."

— Jan H., San Marcos, CA
