Understanding Spinal Stenosis and How NSSD Can Help
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spaces within your spine narrow, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. This narrowing most often occurs in the lower back and the neck. Common causes include:

Herniated Discs: Discs that act as cushions between your vertebrae can dry out with age, leading to cracks and bulges.
Bone Overgrowth: Osteoarthritis can result in bone spurs that grow into the spinal canal.
Thickened Ligaments: Over time, the ligaments that help hold the bones of your spine together can thicken and become stiff.
Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
Symptoms of spinal stenosis can vary, but they often include:

Pain or cramping in the legs when standing or walking
Numbness or tingling in the extremities
Weakness in the arms or legs
Problems with balance and coordination
Why NSSD Works for Spinal Stenosis
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an advanced, non-invasive therapy designed to alleviate spinal compression and improve spinal health. Here’s why it works so well for spinal stenosis:

Decompressing the Spine: NSSD uses a gentle, motorized traction to stretch the spine, which creates negative pressure within the discs. This can help retract bulging or herniated discs, relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Improving Disc Health: The decompression process promotes the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the discs, aiding in their repair and enhancing overall spinal health.
Non-Invasive and Comfortable: Unlike surgical options, NSSD is a non-invasive procedure that involves no downtime. Most patients find the process comfortable and even relaxing.
The Importance of Correct Utilization
The effectiveness of NSSD largely depends on its proper use. This includes:

Correct Sequencing: The treatment must be administered in a specific sequence to be effective. This means adhering to a pre-treatment protocol, the decompression sessions themselves, and a post-treatment regimen.
Tailored Treatment Plans: Each patient's condition is unique, requiring customized settings and protocols to achieve the best results.
Home Therapy: Incorporating exercises and stretches at home can enhance the treatment’s effectiveness and maintain spinal health.

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.

There are many offices that claim they are experts at spinal decompression but unfortunately lack the experience, knowledge and years it takes to become an expert. We have been utilizing decompression in San Diego for the past 18 years and have seen many offices and doctors come and go and many pop up and are instantly experts.

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.
 

"Very nice Dr. and Honest ! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in there back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case. As I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around." - Toni W., Lake Elsinore, 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 to seek an additional opinion form 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 already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!-- Jan H.

"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, California

 

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 !
