If you are searching for Kearny Mesa Spinal decompression then chances are either you or someone you know is in pain and in need of some help. You or they may either have already tried many treatments such as physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, dry needling, spinal injections, pain medication, pain management, chiropractic adjustment and in some cases, spinal surgery. Or you haven't tried any of these and want to be sure you get the correct treatment and address the cause of the problem rather than mask up the symptoms.
This is why we exist and why for the past 18 years we have been helping people get back to enjoying their life. We do this through proven effective and researched treatment protocols.
Here’s the deal with severe neck and back pain:
1. The reason the pain occurs 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 feel 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 the 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 from 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 traction or inversion tables. With the use of 3 computers on the machine with one of the computers monitoring the muscles in a positive feedback loop system 16 times per second to prevent the muscles from trying to tighten up.
For the past 18 years we have been specializing in helping patients with sciatica with NSSD. Our protocols are very thorough and unique and specialized for each patient in our office.

"I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days where 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 lasts 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
