San Diego Herniated Disc Relief

San Diego Herniated Disc Relief

 
Looking for help with a herniated disc?You may be looking to avoid surgery and invasive treatment such as pain medications, spinal injections and other treatments designed to reduce the symptoms The problem is these treatments do not address the actual cause of the pain and therefore in many cases, there will be no long lasting pain relief at all.
 
This is why in our office we focus on finding out the actual cause and the "why" behind the pain. Once we do this we can then devise a plan to correct the cause and therefore our success rates are significantly higher than treatments aimed at just trying to reduce the symptoms only.
 
So here is what happens with disc herniations.

 

The pressure within the spinal dis builds to the point where the disc can no longer sustain the pressure.
The inner jelly-like portion of the disc then pushes and malforms and “herniates” which typically is very painful itself.
The spinal discs then get crushed, “pinched” and compressed upon and this then causes additional pain.
 

Therefore we want to address this issue by reversing this process. If we do not then we will not get the pain relief we are desiring. This is just drugs, injections, physical theory, acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments and even spinal surgery typically will not resolve a disc herniation.

 
1. We gently create a separation in between the spinal vertebrae which then allows the pressure to come off the spinal vertebrae.

 
2. This then allows the inner jelly-like substance to retract back off of the spinal nerves and stop the pain sensations from occurring.

 
3. During the spinal decompression the spinal discs are once again able to receive water, oxygen and nutrients to allow healing and repair to occur once again.

 
We then utilize spinal stabilization protocols that are proven effective and help prevent the pain from returning once again.

 
The technology we use on our machines is advanced and this treatment is very different from traction or inversion tables. With the use of 3 computers on the machine with one of the computers monitoring the muscles in a positive feedback loop system 13 times per second to prevent the muscles from tryin to tighten up.

"I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days where it was difficult to get out of bed.  There were moments where I would be walking and then my back would lock up.  I thought it was something I have dealt with in the past but this lasts the entire month of July.  I finally dedicated myself to finding the long term solution.  

 

‘I came to Dr. Boelk unsure about the process, but after he identified exactly what my ailment was, I felt confident that this was the long term solution I was looking for. I instantly felt better and Dr. Boelk kept encouraging me to trust the process and understand it will take time to feel 100%.  I am now pain free and honestly feel stronger, even a little taller.   I highly recommend you visit Dr. Boelk." - Ming T.


"I highly recommend Dr.Boelk to everyone who has issues with their back and neck. After 2 months of treatment I am feeling a considerable difference. Dr. Boelk's skills and experience are incredible. Especially I appreciate his "very cautious and attentive " approach to health: no unnecessary adjustment and procedures. I am very grateful to Dr.Boelk for his knowledgeable and professional treatment." - Olga M.



"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

 Rated the #1 Spinal Decompression office in San Diego for many reasons. Here is a quick guide to finding the best office when searching for Spinal Decompression:


 
1. Does the office specialize In Spinal Decompression or is it just one of many multiple treatments they offer? We have seen many patients come from other offices who said they are specialists and experts in spinal decompression but only treat 3 or 4 patients a day on decompression.

2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments? Spinal Decompression is a specialized skill and requires daily decision making and protocols vary from person to person, it is not a one size fits all approach. Many patients come from different offices and inform us they were getting decompression but it was done by the staff and many times they are in pain when on the tables. The treatments should not be painful but feel good.

3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing spinal decompression who are not certified. It is best to see someone who took the time and learned the process and is certified.

4. Do they have a good reputation and reviews that report the doctor and office and staff are looking out for the patient and there is a common theme of the doctor caring and wanting the best for their patients?

5. Experience? How long has the office been utilizing spinal decompression? How many sessions have they performed? You want to see someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge in their field when looking for spinal decompression offices.
