Looking for help with your neck or back pain and want an office that uses the DRX9000? That is a great start but you don't want any office that utilizes this, after all the machines are great but they are just that - machines. It is how you operate them that matters, the precision, skill, settings, knowledge and experience are extremely important. DRX 9000 spinal decompression therapy treatments in San Diego CA

 

After all, a formula 1 race car is an amazing machine but it matters who is operating and how they are operating that machine, correct? So it is the same with decompression machines. DRX 9000 True Spinal Decompression machines are amazing and work extremely well when utilized properly.

 

We have been using these machines for the past 16 years and have performed over 25,000 treatments with them. We have learned a thing or 2 about how they work and what settings are needed as well as what needs to be done before and after these treatments. There are 3 keys to getting successful outcomes which sadly, many doctors utilizing decompression therapy are unaware of.

 

1. Avoidance - there are certain activities and movements that are extremely important to be avoided during this treatment protocol and can make or break the success of an outcome for a patient if they are not followed.

 

2. Spinal Decompression - weight, height, age, body composition, area of injury, type of injury, pull duration, rest cycle, treatment angle, are just a few of the key factors in determining the treatment settings. This needs to be unique for each patient  and can vary greatly!

 

3. Stabilization- this is the absolute most overlooked component and many practitioners have no knowledge base of what needs to be done in this category.

 

A few tips to help choose the correct office include:

1. Is the doctor utilizing the a decompression machine or a traction table? You will find doctors who say that there is no difference but there is. A Honda is a car and so is a Ferrari but they operate very differently and have much different technology. So it is with decompression machines. Traction tables consist of simple motors with basic functions and can lower the pressure within the spinal discs. True spinal decompression machines utilize specific technology with much more extensive machinery allowing a creation of NEGATIVE pressure within the disc which is the key to solving disc bulges, herniations, sciatica, degenerative disc disease etc. The way a disc heals is to create negative pressure to allow for oxygen, water and nutrient exchange to take place, this can only happen with certain equipment and not with traction tables. A leader and expert in spinal decompression will only utilize the best equipment possible.

2. Is the doctor a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor? Many doctors who perform spinal decompression and traction are not certified and unaware sometimes of all the functions of their own equipment and how it can best be utilized. They have no certifications or continued learning on decompression techniques or protocols that allow them to get the best results possible.

3. Is Spinal Decompression the office's primary focus and specialty or is one of their techniques utilized? Many offices list themselves as experts at spinal decompression, however that is not what they primarily offer and is just one of the multiple therapies they utilize on occasion.

4. How long have they been utilizing spinal decompression for? How many spinal decompression visits have they performed, do they have staff do all the treatments or do they actually do them? We have seen new offices pop up, offering spinal decompression and they are self listed as experts after a few months.

5. What do their reviews say about them and specifically in regards to spinal decompression? Google, yelp and other review pages will let you know this.

6. Do they utilize the treatment on themselves? Have they lived in your shoes, have they had disc problems that have required spinal decompression? If you have gone through something yourself you have a whole new appreciation and most importantly understanding of the condition and treatment involved.

"I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days were it was difficult to get out of bed.  There were moments where I would be walking and then my back would lock up.  I thought it was something I have dealt with in the past but this last the entire month of July.  I finally dedicated myself to finding the long term solution.  

‘I came to Dr. Boelk unsure about the process, but after he identified exactly what my ailment was, I felt confident that this was the long term solution I was looking for. I instantly felt better and Dr. Boelk kept encouraging me to trust the process and understand it will take time to feel 100%.  I am now pain free and honestly feel stronger, even a little taller.   I highly recommend you visit Dr. Boelk." - Ming T.
