Severe Disc Herniation Pain Relief Without Surgery – San Diego, CA
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”

Many patients contacting our office are trying to avoid injections or surgery after months — and sometimes years — of failed treatment elsewhere.
What Is A Disc Herniation?
A disc herniation occurs when the outer portion of a spinal disc weakens or tears, allowing disc material to push outward.
When this occurs, nearby spinal nerves may become irritated or compressed.
This commonly creates symptoms such as:
- Burning pain down the leg
- Sciatica
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness
- Severe low back pain
- Glute pain
- Pain sitting
- Difficulty driving
- Difficulty sleeping
- Pain bending forward
Some patients notice symptoms suddenly after:
- Lifting
- Twisting
- Sports injuries
- Car accidents
Others develop symptoms gradually over time from repeated stress and compression on the spine.
Why Many Disc Herniations Continue Causing Problems
One of the biggest frustrations for patients is temporary relief.
Many people initially improve with:
- Medications
- Stretching
- Massage therapy
- Traditional chiropractic
- Physical therapy
- Injections
only to have symptoms repeatedly return.
This commonly occurs because:
- Sitting continues increasing disc pressure
- Weak stabilizing muscles remain uncorrected
- Hip mobility restrictions continue stressing the low back
- The injured disc never fully settles down
- Nerve irritation continues remaining present
Over time, this cycle may progressively worsen.
This is one reason many patients eventually begin searching for alternatives to injections or surgery.

Real Patient Experiences
Ira Smith
“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, Las Vegas, Nevada
Summary: Ira traveled from Las Vegas after failed physical therapy and chiropractic care before experiencing major relief from severe multi-disc protrusions and chronic sciatica.
Michael Langsdale
“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, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. 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! Thank you!”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
Summary: Michael experienced substantial relief from severe sciatica after failing previous decompression treatment elsewhere.
Lisa S.
“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom
Summary: Lisa traveled internationally from the United Kingdom seeking specialized treatment for multiple bulging discs and nerve compression symptoms.
Why Active Rehabilitation Matters
One of the biggest misconceptions about spinal decompression is that decompression alone fixes everything.
While reducing pressure on injured discs and irritated nerves is extremely important, long-term improvement often requires correcting:
- Weak stabilizing muscles
- Hip mobility limitations
- Poor posture
- Faulty movement mechanics
- Core instability
This is why Dr. Boelk frequently combines treatment with:
- Core stabilization
- Hip mobility work
- Glute strengthening
- Spinal stabilization exercises
- Movement retraining
- Postural correction
The goal is not simply temporary symptom relief.
The goal is helping patients build a stronger and more stable foundation moving forward.
