What You Need to Know

Understanding a "Slipped Disc"

A "slipped disc," also known as a herniated disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher, outer layer. This can cause irritation to nearby nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.

How Does a Slipped Disc Happen?

Slipped discs can happen due to several reasons:

  1. Age-Related Wear and Tear: As we age, our spinal discs lose some of their water content, making them less flexible and more prone to tearing or rupturing with even a minor strain or twist.
  2. Injury: Trauma or injury to the spine can cause discs to rupture.
  3. Repetitive Movements: Repetitive activities that involve lifting, bending, or twisting can put stress on the spine, increasing the risk of a herniated disc.
  4. Poor Posture: Poor sitting or standing posture can contribute to disc problems over time.
  5. Genetics: Some people inherit a predisposition to developing herniated discs.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a revolutionary treatment designed to alleviate the pain and symptoms caused by a slipped disc. Here's a simple, step-by-step explanation of how NSSD works and why it’s so effective:

  1. Assessment and Customization: Each patient is thoroughly evaluated to understand the severity and specifics of their condition. A personalized treatment plan is then created.
  2. Controlled Decompression: The patient lies comfortably on the DRX 9000 machine, which gently stretches the spine. This creates a negative pressure within the disc.
  3. Pressure Relief: The negative pressure allows the bulging or herniated disc material to retract back into the disc.
  4. Enhanced Healing: By relieving the pressure on the discs and nerves, blood flow and nutrient exchange are improved, promoting natural healing.

How NSSD Helps Reverse Disc Problems

NSSD not only provides relief but also helps in reversing the damage:

  1. Reduction of Pressure: The gentle stretching reduces the pressure on the affected discs.
  2. Promotion of Natural Healing: Improved blood flow and nutrient exchange help repair the damaged disc.
  3. Strengthening of Surrounding Muscles: The treatment often includes exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine, providing better support and preventing future issues.

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.

There are many offices that claim they are experts at spinal decompression but unfortunately lack the experience, knowledge and years it takes to become an expert. We have been utilizing decompression in San Diego for the past 18 years and have seen many offices and doctors come and go and many pop up and are instantly experts.

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 thorough, technical, and explains everything very well. Excellent bedside manner and all the staff are very nice. Decompression treatment is effective and I have no more neck pain." - Andre G.

"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. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk."- Steve R.
 

"Very nice Dr. and Honest ! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in there back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case. As I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around." - Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA
 

"I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocross neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.


Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion form another neurosurgeon. My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!-- Jan H.

"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, California

 

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 !
