Severe Neck Pain Therapy In Kearny Mesa CA

Understanding Neck Pain: Disc Compression and the Efficacy of NSSD
Experiencing severe neck pain can significantly impact your daily life, limiting your ability to perform simple tasks and enjoy activities you love. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor with nearly two decades of experience, specializes in alleviating pain through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). This article will explore the common causes of neck pain, particularly focusing on disc compression, explain why NSSD is a highly effective treatment, and highlight Dr. Boelk’s expertise in this advanced therapeutic approach.

Why Neck Pain Often Stems from Disc Compression
The cervical spine is finely engineered to support your head and allow a wide range of motion. However, this flexibility makes it vulnerable to injuries and conditions like disc compression. Disc compression occurs when the discs—gel-like cushions between the bones in your neck—become damaged or wear down due to age, injury, or misuse. This can lead to disc herniation or bulging discs, which press on nearby nerves, causing severe pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, arms, and shoulders.

While disc compression is a common culprit for neck pain, it’s crucial to undergo a comprehensive evaluation to rule out other potential causes such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, arthritis, or other medical conditions.

The Science Behind Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a groundbreaking therapy that has been researched and proven effective for treating conditions resulting from spinal compression. NSSD works by gently stretching the spine, creating a negative pressure within the disc. This vacuum effect can help retract the bulging or herniated disc material, promoting movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs to facilitate healing.

Studies and clinical trials have consistently shown that NSSD is a safe and effective treatment for relieving spinal pressure and pain. Patients often report significant improvements in pain levels and mobility, with the added benefit of avoiding the risks and long recovery times associated with surgery.

"Had terrible low back pain last year, had gone with a traditional chiropractor but didn’t feel it was doing much.
Went to this place and after talking to Dr Boelk decided to try spinal decompression therapy. After 3 session my pain was almost completely gone.
The staff is very professional and friendly. A big plus is how you get to go at your appointment time instead of waiting.
I would say the only negative is that is not covered by insurance so you have to pay out of pocket but it you can afford it is 100% worth it." - Edgar R. 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 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 Martin, San Diego, CA

"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life.

It was a regular routine of adjuments and excersises. A change of life patterns but 110% worth every effort. I have since had my wife, daughter, mother, father and multiple friends and clients visit Dr. Boelk. All thanking me for the referral. Last one was my firefighting friend that had horrible sciatica. He is now on the recovery train.

So without a doubt, if you are on the verge of surgery, don't do it until you give this Dr a chance to examine you 1st. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.

I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!" - Jayson Yavorsky

 

 

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.

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.
