There is no downtime, no side effects, no drugs, no injections, and no surgeries with this procedure. The treatment works by slowly distracting the pressure off the spinal discs by carefully pulling the pressure off the spinal vertebrae (bones). This allows the pressure to be released on the disc which then will pull the disc off the spinal nerves as the disc bulges and herniations reduce in size. While this is occurring, the discs are now able to once again get water, oxygen, and nutrients to aid in the healing and the inflammation and pain can subside as well.
Dr. Boelk’s office has revolutionized the treatment of low back pain. His office has performed over 26,000 spinal decompression visits and helped thousands of patients both locally, nationwide, and around the world get pain-free.

- Not at all. There are 3 computers on
each Spinal Decompression Machine. One of
the computers sole job is to ensure that the muscles
in the spine are relaxed. It
accomplishes this with a positive feedback loop
system. 13 Times a second, the
system monitors the muscles to make sure they are
not attempting to tighten up. If
they do attempt to tighten, the computer recognizes
this and adjusts the pressure
and pull to lower until the muscles are once again
relaxed and then it can increase
the pull once again. This way we can always keep the
disc in a negative pressure
state which is not possible with inversion or
traction machines.
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.
Most patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, significant improvement is obtained by the second week of treatment.
Patients usually remain on the system for 20-30 minutes at a time. This may take place 3-4 visits per week for the first 2 weeks and then decrease in frequency from there. However, all treatment plans are customized to each patients’ specific needs.
In order to determine if you qualify for spinal decompression, Dr. Boelk will need to examine your case first. He will review with you the specific criteria based upon your individual situation.
