Understanding Back Pain & Exercise: What to Avoid

When asked for an exercise to help with back pain, it's important to recognize that the source of the pain can vary greatly. An exercise that is helpful for one condition might be harmful for another. It's like asking for an exercise to help with leg pain; the source of the pain could be vastly different.

Instead of asking for a specific exercise, consider what to avoid to help lower your back pain. This advice is general, but it applies to common conditions like compressed discs, disc bulges, herniations, and sciatica.

Avoid Excessive Spinal Flexion: Bending forward dramatically increases the pressure within the discs, which can worsen the pain. Avoid Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for long periods also increases disc pressure, leading to more pain. Avoid Certain Gym Exercises: Exercises that increase spinal pressure, such as back squatting, deadlifting, and using the leg press machine, should be avoided. Why Choose Dr. Boelk?

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.

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.

"This place is amazing, the staff is friendly and I'd recommend this place to anyone who needs it. I recently discharged from the military with quite a few injuries, and extremely bad back pain. Since then I have seen dozens of incompetent doctors that have had no real interest in treating me, only interest is selling me the next pill or vaccine. Dr. Boelk is not one of those doctors, this man is professional/ knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. I have had nothing short of a great experience in this office. His nurse Megan is also very polite and caring for their patients. These days it is very difficult to find a genuine medical professional, so when I do find them I feel that the world needs to know. This man is a good dude." - Donnie M., san Diego,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 seeking an additional opinion from 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 have already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!" - Jan H., San Marcos, CA

"Dr Boelk saved my life! I was diagnosed with Multilevel Degenerative Back Disease. The medical back specialists recommended fusing my Cervical Spine and performing a Discectomy on my bulging disc in my lower spine. They insisted on scraping Discs - C5: C6: C7 insert cadaver bones and secure my Cervical Vertebrates with a Titanium Plate & Screws. Dr Boelk treatments on the DRX 9000 & 9000C have resulted in me avoiding any evasive operations and restoring the Health of my Cervical and Lumbar Discs. I am now PAIN FREE! I returned to my Back Surgeons and presented them with new MRI's. They concluded I didn't need any operation and wanted to know what I did. When I told them I have received treatments on the DRX 9000 they were Not Supportive and were Not Happy! I have been extremely satisfied with my results and because of my Multi-Level Cervical and Lumbar deterioration condition, I continually receive periodic DRX 9000 treatments from Dr. Boelk to help Maintain my Pain Free Status.

Dr Boelk is one of the most Honest, Informed and Caring Spinal Doctors and human beings I have ever met. His office has an amazing caring and kind staff. I owe him and his staff a tremendous amount of Respect, Gratitude & Thanks for what they have achieved with my DRX treatments in eliminating all my Back Pain! - Cliff G, San Diego, CA
