Surgical Alternatives For Spinal Stenosis In San Diego, CA

Spinal stenosis can be a debilitating condition, causing chronic pain, numbness, tingling, and even difficulty with mobility. For those suffering from this condition, everyday activities such as walking, standing, or even sitting can become agonizing. The good news is that effective, non-surgical treatment options are available, and Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, has been helping patients find relief for over 20 years.

What Is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which compresses the nerves and spinal cord. This compression can result from:

• Herniated or bulging discs that encroach on the nerve space.
• Thickened ligaments due to wear and tear over time.
• Bone spurs caused by arthritis.
• Degenerative disc disease, which can reduce the height of spinal discs.

These changes often lead to a combination of symptoms, including:

• Pain in the back, neck, legs, or arms.
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the extremities.
• Difficulty with balance and mobility.
• In severe cases, bladder or bowel dysfunction.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

NSSD is a cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy designed to target the root cause of spinal stenosis. By gently stretching the spine, NSSD creates negative pressure within the discs. This process:

• Relieves Pressure: Bulging or herniated discs retract, reducing compression on the spinal nerves.
• Promotes Healing: Increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the discs, helping them rehydrate and repair naturally.
• Restores Function: By addressing the structural issues, NSSD helps alleviate pain and improves mobility.

Why Does NSSD Work So Well?

Unlike medications or injections, which only mask the symptoms, NSSD addresses the root cause of the problem. The therapy works effectively because it:

• Targets the compressed areas directly without causing additional strain.
• Is non-invasive, eliminating the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
• Offers long-lasting results when combined with other therapies and lifestyle changes.

Dr. Boelk’s Comprehensive Approach

What sets Dr. Cassidy Boelk apart is his commitment to combining both passive therapies like NSSD and active therapies for optimal results.

• Passive Therapy (NSSD): NSSD sessions focus on decompressing the spine, reducing inflammation, and alleviating nerve compression.

  • Biomechanics training to ensure proper movement and posture.

I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.
Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews)
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan.
I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just commiting to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.

I feel very happy with the results after going through spinal decompression therapy, I was in pain almost all the time and traditional chiropractor didn’t really help neither did physical therapy, found this place online and after reading about it it it just made sense to me how it works and how it can help me and give it a chance for my back pain and it worked great for me. I am able to do my normal routine without pain and even exercise. Highly recommend.

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.
