Back Pain Help In San Diego Ca

 

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been getting a lot of questions about back pain and sitting, so today let's address this hot topic: "Is sitting bad for my back pain?"

The short answer is YES! 🚨

Why is Sitting a Problem? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ We spend a significant chunk of our day sitting—eating meals, driving, working, watching TV, browsing the internet, or attending social events. All this sitting increases the pressure on our spine and contributes to back pain. Your spine is like a stack of building blocks, and the longer you sit, the more it has to support, increasing the pressure and discomfort.

What Can We Do? 🤔 Fear not! There are some simple, effective ways to mitigate this pain.

🚶‍♀️ 1. Take 10-15 Minute Walks 2-3 Times a Day Instead of sitting continuously, break your routine by going for a short walk. It helps relieve pressure on your spinal discs and promotes better blood circulation, which aids in healing.

🚗 2. Rest Stops While Driving If you spend long hours driving, try to stop at rest stops every hour or so. Use this time to get out of your car and walk around for 5-10 minutes. Stretch your legs and back; it’s a simple yet effective way to alleviate back pain.

🖥 3. Invest in a Standing Work Desk Consider using a standing work desk or a sit-stand converter for your regular desk. Aim to stand for about 10 minutes every hour. It not only helps your back but also encourages more movement, which is good for your overall health.

So there you have it! Take some time to incorporate these tips into your daily routine. Your back will thank you for it! 👏

Remember, if your back pain persists, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a personalized treatment plan.

Stay healthy, everyone! 💪💕

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.

We have been utilizing decompression in San Diego for the past 19 years and have seen many offices and doctors come and go and many pop up and are instantly experts. Over the past 19 years we have performed over 30,000 spinal decompression visits and we are considered experts in spinal decompression.

We treat both local San Diego as well as out of town residents as far away as Alaska and Spain and typically have patients from Mexico, El Centro, Calexico in our office daily. Spinal Decompression is a very relaxing, comfortable and effective treatment that helps patients with the following conditions:

Chronic Lower Back Pain

Neck Pain

Herniated Discs

Slipped Discs

Pinched Nerves

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. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended and administered have so diminished my back pain that I can sleep again.

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 !
