Spinal Disc Injury Pain Relief In Kearny Mesa CA
Spinal decompression therapy has emerged as a leading treatment for spinal disc injuries, including disc bulges, disc protrusions, disc herniations, and degenerative disc disease. This article will delve into the mechanics of spinal decompression, compare it with alternative treatments, and highlight the expertise of Dr. Boelk, a leader in this field.

What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses a specially designed table or other device to gently stretch the spine. This stretching helps relieve pressure on the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and promoting the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs to aid in healing.

Types of Spinal Disc Injuries

Disc Bulges: A disc bulge occurs when the outer layer of the disc extends beyond its usual boundary.

Disc Protrusions: Disc protrusions refer to a more localized extension of the disc into the spinal canal.

Disc Herniations: Disc herniation is when the inner gel-like material of the disc escapes through a tear in the outer layer.

Degenerative Disc Disease: This refers to the natural wearing down of discs, leading to pain and potential nerve damage.

 

Decompression vs. Other Treatments

Decompression vs. Drugs

Decompression: A non-invasive method, focusing on the mechanical stretching of the spine, aiming at the root cause of the problem.

Drugs: Often used for pain management, medications may relieve symptoms but don't address the underlying cause of the condition.

Decompression vs. Injections

Decompression: A holistic treatment offering a longer-term solution.

Injections: Corticosteroids or other injections may provide temporary relief but might not offer a permanent solution.

 

Decompression vs. Surgery

Decompression: Generally risk-free and doesn't require significant recovery time.

Surgery: Invasive and may come with potential risks and complications. Recovery can be prolonged and painful.

Every single decompression session is performed by our doctor and not our staff. He determines the settings and has unique protocols for each patient that is dynamic.

Spinal decompression was developed by a team of top physicians and medical engineers to bring healing through a unique method. This therapy provides relief to chronic back and neck pain sufferers by reducing the pressure within spinal discs. As the spine’s vertebrae are slowly and gently separated, pressure is slowly reduced within discs until a negative vacuum is formed. This vacuum is shown to reduce the size of existing disc bulges or disc herniations. Significant disc bulge reduction removes pressure off the spinal nerves and dramatically reduces pain and disability.

 

Spinal discs are not able to receive critical components vital to proper disc health when they are injured and in a compressed state. Spinal decompression allows the spinal discs to once again receive water, oxygen and nutrients in order to properly heal, decrease pain and create long term relief.

"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” - Erin T.

Dr Boelk is thorough, technical, and explains everything very well. Excellent bedside manner and all the staff are very nice. Decompression treatment is effective and I have no more neck pain." - Andre G.

"Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. He has the health of his patients as his top priority. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended and administered have so diminished my back pain that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk."- Steve R.

 

"Very nice Dr. and Honest ! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in there back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case. As I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around." - Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA

 
"I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocross neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.

 
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended seeking an additional opinion from another neurosurgeon. My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!-- Jan H.

"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 !
