Finding Relief for Severe Sciatica in San Diego, CA: Dr. Boelk's Expertise in NSSD

Are you or someone you know suffering from severe sciatica in the sunny city of San Diego, CA? The good news is that relief may be closer than you think, thanks to Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) therapy. In this article, we'll explore why NSSD is so effective and why Dr. Boelk is considered an expert in this treatment. We'll also provide some self-help tips for managing sciatica.

Understanding Severe Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. When this nerve becomes compressed or irritated, it can lead to excruciating pain, tingling, and numbness. Severe sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, making it crucial to seek effective treatment.

Why NSSD Works So Well
NSSD is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating severe sciatica, and it has shown remarkable success in providing relief for patients. Here's why NSSD works so well:

Targeted Decompression: NSSD therapy focuses on decompressing the spinal discs that may be pressing on the sciatic nerve. By creating negative pressure within the affected disc, NSSD encourages the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and water to promote healing.

Pain Reduction: NSSD effectively reduces the pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can lead to a significant reduction in pain. Many patients experience relief after just a few sessions.

Non-Surgical: Unlike invasive surgical procedures, NSSD is a non-surgical alternative. This means no incisions, anesthesia, or prolonged recovery times, making it a safer and more convenient option.

Self-Help Tips for Managing Sciatica
While NSSD can provide significant relief, there are some self-help tips that can complement your treatment:

Stretching: Gentle stretching exercises can help relieve tension in the lower back and legs. Consult with your healthcare provider or a physical therapist for specific stretches.

Maintain Good Posture: Proper posture can alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Pay attention to your sitting and standing posture to reduce strain on your lower back.

Stay Active: Low-impact exercises such as swimming or walking can help keep your back and legs strong and flexible.

Heat and Ice: Applying heat or ice packs to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and ease pain.

"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.

Spinal Stenosis

 

Neuropathy

 

 

 

With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.

"Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. He has the health of his patients as his top priority.

"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"!
