Search this term and you may find so many options it can actually more confusing than helpful. So, how do you navigate thru to find the right fit for you or a family member or friend or co-worker or a patient you are trying to help?
Well, here are a few tips that may be helpful to find the right fit for what you are looking for.
1. Does the office specialize In what you are looking for?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 so many different specialties which is not possible. IN our office we specialize in helping people with disc injuries such as disc bulges, herniations, protrusions, extrusions, slipped discs, torn discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, chronic neck and back pain.
2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments and involve din the patients care and day to day visits?Disc injuries require 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 therapies done by staff only and never the doctor.
3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing certain treatments and therapies but are not certified or proficient in them. 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 helping patients with your easy condition? 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 help.

"I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days were 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 last 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.
"I highly recommend Dr.Boelk to everyone who has issues with their back and neck. After 2 months of treatment I am feeling a considerable difference. Dr. Boelk's skills and experience are incredible. Especially I appreciate his "very cautious and attentive " approach to the health: no unnecessary adjustment and procedures. I am very grateful to Dr.Boelk for his knowledgeable and professional treatment." - Olga M.
"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
