What Patients Are Saying About Spinal Decompression Treatment

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Dr. Boelk is professional, kind, and truly prioritizes his patients’ health. The spinal decompression treatments, combined with the exercises and guidance he provided, have reduced my back pain to the point that I can sleep again.

Traditional chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back—but spinal decompression did.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy is a specialized form of computer-controlled spinal traction designed to apply carefully regulated distraction forces to targeted areas of the spine.

The goal is to reduce mechanical loading on spinal structures, including affected intervertebral discs.

Unlike surgery, spinal decompression does not require incisions, general anesthesia, or injections.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, treatment is administered using DRX9000 spinal decompression equipment.

The system allows the clinician to adjust traction forces, treatment angles, and pulling and relaxation cycles based on the patient's condition and tolerance.

Although some patients report improvements in pain and function, research on nonsurgical spinal decompression remains mixed, and treatment cannot be guaranteed to heal a herniated disc or eliminate the need for surgery.

What Happens During a DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Treatment?

Many patients are curious about what actually happens during a spinal decompression session.

At Dr. Boelk's clinic, treatment follows a structured process designed around each patient's individual needs.

Step 1: Comfortable Positioning

For lumbar spinal decompression, the patient is positioned on the DRX9000 treatment table using specialized supports and harnesses.

These components help stabilize the body while controlled traction is applied.

For cervical conditions, specialized equipment is used to treat the neck.

Step 2: Controlled Traction and Relaxation

Once the patient is positioned, the DRX9000 applies computer-controlled cycles of traction and relaxation.

These cycles are designed to regulate the forces applied to the targeted spinal region.

Treatment settings are selected according to the patient's clinical findings and tolerance.

Step 3: Individualized Treatment Settings

Traction force, direction, and treatment duration can be adjusted according to the patient's condition.

Dr. Boelk evaluates each patient's symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and available diagnostic imaging before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.

Step 4: Rehabilitation and Supportive Care

For selected patients, spinal decompression may be combined with appropriate rehabilitation exercises, mobility training, and other supportive treatments.

The objective is to help patients improve movement tolerance, strength, and everyday function.

Why Does Dr. Boelk's San Diego Clinic Have Seven DRX9000 Machines?

The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego has made spinal decompression a major focus of its clinical services.

The facility is equipped with:

• Four DRX9000 lumbar spinal decompression units for lower back conditions.

• Three DRX9000 cervical spinal decompression units for neck conditions.

This specialized equipment allows the clinic to accommodate patients requiring lumbar or cervical treatment.

Dr. Boelk also trains other doctors in nonsurgical spinal decompression protocols and techniques through his Spinal Decompression Training Academy.

For patients researching spinal decompression providers in San Diego, the clinic's equipment, clinical focus, and experience are important considerations.

What Conditions May Be Considered for Spinal Decompression Treatment?

Depending on examination findings and medical history, spinal decompression may be considered for certain patients experiencing:

• Lumbar disc herniations, including L4-L5 and L5-S1

• Cervical disc herniations

• Bulging discs

• Degenerative disc disease

• Certain cases of disc-related sciatica

• Disc-related neck or lower back pain

• Some forms of radiating arm or leg pain associated with disc conditions

However, having one of these diagnoses does not automatically mean spinal decompression is appropriate.

A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine whether a patient is a reasonable candidate.

What If Other Back Pain Treatments Haven't Helped?

Many patients seeking spinal decompression have already tried multiple treatment approaches.

These may include physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, medications, injections, stretching, massage, or home exercise programs.

While these treatments can help many individuals, persistent symptoms may warrant a more comprehensive evaluation.

A Patient's Experience With Persistent Sciatica

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"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

The clinic emphasizes individualized treatment recommendations rather than assuming every patient requires the same number of visits or the same treatment approach.

How Do You Know If You're a Candidate for Spinal Decompression?

Not everyone experiencing neck pain, lower back pain, or sciatica is an appropriate candidate.

Factors that may influence treatment recommendations include:

• The type and location of the spinal condition

• Previous spinal surgeries

• Spinal instability or fractures

• Neurological findings

• Existing medical conditions

• Diagnostic imaging findings

• The patient's treatment history and current symptoms

Some individuals may require additional testing, another conservative treatment approach, or surgical consultation.

New or progressive neurological weakness warrants prompt medical evaluation. New bladder or bowel dysfunction or saddle numbness requires emergency medical attention.

Why Honest Patient Screening Matters

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I found this terrific practice on social media. I followed up and did my own research so I decided to pay them a visit. The place is clean, well organized and run by a very efficient receptionist. I met with the doctor and after a honest and forthright conversation, we both determined that surgery was my only option to correct my back issues. I will return as a customer when the time is right."
