NSSD, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. Researched and proven highly effective by Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center and Mayo Clinic among others. This treatment gets right to the source of the pain with disc bulges, disc herniations, disc protrusions, disc extrusions, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, foraminal stenosis and chronic neck and back pain.
Calming, comfortable, calming, relaxing are some of the main descriptions patients say while undergoing the treatment.
Here’s the deal with disc bulges.
1. The reason a disc bulges is an increased pressure within the spine that is too great for intervertebral discs in between our spinal vertebrae (back bones).
2. This pressure then causes the inner jelly like substance in the spinal disc to then leak outside of the disc and “bulge” or “herniate” or “protrude”.
3. This inner jelly then presses upon the spinal nerves and this is the reason why we fell the pain.
Therefore in order to achieve relief we need to then reverse the 3 steps above. So here is how decompression works.
1. We gently create a separation in between the spinal vertebrae which then allows he pressure to come off the spinal vertebrae.
2. This then allows the inner jelly like substance to retract back off of the spinal nerves and stop the pain sensations form occurring.
3. During the spinal decompression the spinal discs are once again able to receive water, oxygen and nutrients to allow healing and repair to occur once again.
We then utilize spinal stabilization protocols that are proven effective and help prevent the pain from returning once again.
The technology we use on our machines is advanced and this treatment is very different from raction or inversion tables. With the use of 3 computers on the machine with one of the computers monitoring the muscles in a positive feedback lop system 16 times per second to prevent the muscles form tryin to tightening up.

"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.

"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
