Mira Mesa Spinal Decompression
If you are searching for spinal disc decompression in Mira Mesa, CA, you may want to read on and you’ve likely encountered terms like Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and DRX 9000 machines.

 

This article explains what spinal decompression is, how it works, why the DRX 9000 machines are used, and why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a leading authority on NSSD.

What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, traction-based treatment designed to relieve pain and promote healing in the spine. It is particularly effective for conditions such as:

Disc herniations
Bulging discs
Sciatica
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Chronic low back and neck pain
Spinal stenosis
How and Why Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression therapy works by gently stretching the spine. This process changes the force and position of the spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs. The negative pressure has several beneficial effects:

Retracting Bulging Discs: The negative pressure can help pull the herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc.
Creating a Healing Environment: By reducing pressure on the discs, decompression allows water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids to move into the discs, promoting healing.
Why We Use DRX 9000 Machines
The DRX 9000 machines are the gold standard in spinal decompression therapy. Here’s why:

Precision and Control: The DRX 9000 uses advanced, computer-controlled technology to provide precise and controlled decompression. This ensures that the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
Research-Backed Effectiveness: Studies from renowned institutions like Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic have shown that treatments using the DRX 9000 are highly effective.
The Importance of Knowledge and Expertise
While the DRX 9000 machines are highly advanced, the success of the treatment also depends on the practitioner’s expertise. Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has extensive experience and training in using these machines. Here’s what sets him apart:

Customized Treatment Plans: Dr. Boelk tailors the settings on the DRX 9000 machines for each patient. This customization is crucial as the optimal settings can change throughout the treatment program based on the patient’s progress.
Pre and Post-Treatment Protocols: Proper preparation and follow-up care are essential for maximizing the benefits of spinal decompression. Dr. Boelk ensures that patients are well-informed and supported throughout their treatment journey.
What to Do Pre and Post Treatment
Pre-Treatment:

Assessment: A thorough evaluation, including medical history and imaging studies (such as X-rays or MRIs), to determine the exact cause and severity of the disc problem.
Hydration: Staying well-hydrated is crucial as it helps the discs absorb nutrients and rehydrate during the decompression process.
Post-Treatment:

Spinal Stabilization Exercises: Strengthening the core and back muscles to support the spine and prevent future injuries.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Recommendations on posture, ergonomics, and activities to avoid to maintain spinal health.

"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
 
 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.

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


"Dr. Boelk is truly fantastic and his decompression treatments have been life-changing. I highly recommend anyone struggling with cervical pain and open to exploring nonsurgical methods to visit Dr. Boelk." - Mike S. Del Mar, 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
