What Is Non Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a type of treatment that uses mechanical force to stretch the spine and relieve pressure on the spinal discs. It is a non-invasive alternative to surgical decompression procedures and is often used to treat chronic low back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica.
Spinal decompression works by gently separating the vertebrae in the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure can help to draw bulging or herniated discs back into place, relieving pressure on the spinal nerves and reducing pain.
There are several different methods of non-surgical spinal decompression, including traction, inversion therapy, and mechanical decompression tables.
Traction involves the use of weights or machines to apply force to the spine, stretching the muscles and relieving pressure on the discs. Inversion therapy uses gravity to stretch the spine, with the patient hanging upside down or using an inversion table. Mechanical decompression tables use motorized traction to stretch the spine.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is typically performed in a series of sessions, with the number of sessions and duration of each session depending on the specific condition being treated. It is generally considered safe, with few reported side effects.
However, non-surgical spinal decompression may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment to determine if it is appropriate for you.
Overall, non-surgical spinal decompression can be an effective treatment option for individuals with chronic low back pain, herniated discs, and sciatica. It is a non-invasive, low-risk alternative to surgical procedures, and can provide significant relief for many patients.
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.

We treat both local San Diego as well as out of town residents as far away as Alaska and Spain and typically have patients from Mexico, El Centro, Calexico in our office daily. Spinal Decompression is a very relaxing, comfortable and effective treatment that helps patients with the following conditions:
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.

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 !
