Dr. Boelk, a recognized expert in treating disc herniations, offers a groundbreaking approach that has successfully treated over 30,000 disc-related injuries, including disc herniations. His method, known as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), stands out from traditional treatments like drugs, injections, massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of NSSD and why it is a highly researched and proven-effective choice for disc herniations, comparing it to other therapies.

Benefits of NSSD for Disc Herniations:

1. Non-Invasive: NSSD is a non-invasive procedure that eliminates the need for surgical incisions, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery.

2. Targeted Relief: NSSD specifically addresses the root cause of disc herniations by creating a controlled negative pressure within the affected disc, promoting the retraction of herniated material and reducing pressure on nerves.

3. No Drugs or Injections: Unlike traditional treatments that may rely on medications or injections to manage symptoms, NSSD focuses on resolving the issue at its source without introducing foreign substances into the body.

4. Highly Researched and Proven Effective: NSSD is backed by extensive research and clinical studies, demonstrating its efficacy in treating disc herniations. This evidence-based approach ensures that patients receive reliable and proven relief.

Comparing NSSD to Other Therapies for Disc Herniations:

1. NSSD vs. Drugs and Injections: While drugs and injections may provide temporary pain relief, they do not address the underlying cause of disc herniations. NSSD offers a targeted solution that aims to heal the herniated disc, providing long-term relief without the need for ongoing medication.

2. NSSD vs. Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Adjustments: While these therapies can help with muscle tension and alignment issues, they may not directly treat the herniated disc. NSSD, on the other hand, targets the disc itself, offering a more effective solution for disc herniations.

3. NSSD vs. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is valuable for rehabilitation, but it may not always resolve disc herniations. NSSD complements physical therapy by directly addressing the disc's structural issues, leading to comprehensive healing.

If you're in search of surgical alternatives for disc herniations in San Diego, CA, Dr. Boelk's expertise in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) provides a proven-effective and non-invasive solution.

"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.

Disc Bulges

 

Degenerative Disc Disease

 

Sciatica

 

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"!
