Surgical Alternative for Severe Neck Pain in San Diego

Surgical Alternative for Severe Neck Pain in San Diego

Experiencing severe neck pain can be debilitating, affecting your quality of life and limiting your day-to-day activities. It's a challenge that many people face and are often left searching for fast, effective, and non-invasive treatment options. That's where spinal decompression comes in, offering a promising surgical alternative. If you're looking for severe neck pain fast relief in San Diego, Dr. Boelk's office is renowned for its expertise in spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses a special table or similar device to gently stretch the spine. This stretching reduces the pressure on your spinal discs - the soft, gel-like cushions between your vertebrae. By relieving this pressure, bulging or herniated discs may retract, which promotes movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids necessary for disc health and healing.

Spinal Decompression: How It Works

Step 1: You are positioned on a spinal decompression table, with safety straps around your hips and torso to hold you in place.

Step 2: The lower part or upper part of the table, controlled by a computer, gently moves to stretch and relax your spine with precision.

Step 3: This process reduces pressure within your spinal discs, helping bulging or herniated discs to retract back into place.

Step 4: The movement of discs promotes the circulation of nutrient-rich fluids, oxygen, and water, aiding in the natural healing process of your spine.

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 decompression is a well researched and proven treatment but needs to be rendered in a specific and individualized  way. There is science, art and expertise as well as extensive knowledge on how to go about treating a patient properly with spinal decompression. Unfortunately many doctors are unaware  of just how many factors need to be considered when entering the settings for each individual treatment and they haven't spent the time, energy or financials to better Theron procedures and hence their patient outcomes are poor.

We utilize science based, proven and effective treatments researched by Johns Hopkins uNiversity, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo Clinic among others. NSSD or Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a comfortable treatment that is computer aided and feels great. It works by gently creating separation between the spinal vertebrae 9 back bones) which allows for pressure to come off of the disc and the nerves. With sciatica, that would be the sciatic nerve which is producing the pain. Once the discs are being decompressed they are then once again able to get water, oxygen and nutrients to aid in healing and reduction of inflammation and pain.

 

With over 30,000 spinal decompression treatments performed over the past 18 years, our office is the largest provider of spinal decompression that we know of in San Diego as well as the state of California.

3 keys for any complete disc injury Spinal Decompression treatment protocol will consist of the following:

 

1. Modification- there are numerous movements through the day that are aggravating your condition and any good doctor will discuss and set a plan to remedy this.
 

2. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is extremely comfortable and takes the compression off the spinal discs which then allows the disc to come off the spinal nerves, mainly the sciatic nerve. At the same time the disc is now able to get water, oxygen and nutrients that are vital.
 

3. Spinal Stabilization- if not addressed and the spinal and gluteal (butt) muscles are not strengthened the the pressure will once again be placed on the spinal discs which will once again cause the pain.
 

 Our treatments we use are clinically proven highly effective and have been researched by Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo Clinic among others.
