Quick Disc Herniation Pain Relief in Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’re suffering from the debilitating effects of a herniated disc, you’re not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, we specialize in providing fast, effective relief from disc herniation pain. With nearly 20 years of experience, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has earned a reputation for delivering compassionate, cutting-edge care that gets results.

Understanding Disc Herniations

Your spine is composed of vertebrae cushioned by gel-like discs that act as shock absorbers. A disc herniation occurs when the outer layer of a disc (annulus fibrosus) weakens or tears, causing the inner gel-like material (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out. This can compress nearby nerves, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness.

Common Causes of Disc Herniations Include:

• Poor Posture: Slouching or sitting for prolonged periods can stress spinal discs.
• Repetitive Movements: Bending, lifting, or twisting repeatedly can cause wear and tear.
• Injury or Trauma: Sudden impacts or falls may damage spinal discs.
• Age-Related Changes: Natural degeneration over time weakens the discs.

Self-Care Strategies for Disc Herniation Pain

While professional care is often necessary for lasting relief, these steps can help alleviate symptoms:

1. Activity Modification: Avoid movements that exacerbate your pain, such as heavy lifting or prolonged standing.
2. Heat and Cold Therapy: Apply ice packs to reduce inflammation and heat to relax tight muscles.
3. Posture Correction: Maintain a neutral spine during sitting and standing.
4. Gentle Stretching: Engage in stretches to improve flexibility.
5. Core Strengthening: Strengthening your core helps stabilize your spine and reduce stress on the discs.

Why We Use the DRX 9000 for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

At our office, we exclusively use the DRX 9000, an advanced spinal decompression machine designed to target herniated and bulging discs. By gently stretching the spine and creating negative pressure within the discs, the DRX 9000 promotes retraction of the herniated material and improves circulation to aid healing.

While the machine is state-of-the-art, its success depends on the expertise of the practitioner using it. Dr. Boelk tailors each session to your specific needs, combining the technology with a comprehensive, results-driven approach.

Real Patient Testimonials

Here’s what our patients have to say about their experiences with Dr. Boelk and his team:

• Donnie M., San Diego, CA:
  "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 with no real interest in treating me, only selling me the next pill or vaccine. Dr. Boelk is not one of those doctors. He 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, and when I do, I feel the world needs to know. This man is a good dude."

• Skate L., United Kingdom:
  "I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have three bulging discs, and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment, and it really helps keep me active. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment. This place is number one, and they genuinely care about their patients."

• Eren T., San Diego, CA:
  "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 down each day, and within a couple of weeks, he helped me sit again. His attention to you and the way he makes you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he genuinely cares and 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. I cannot thank him enough and cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth."
