Surgical Alternatives for Severe Neck Pain in Kearny Mesa, CA

 

If you’re dealing with severe neck pain in San Diego and considering surgery, there’s good news: surgery isn’t your only option. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we offer Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), a highly effective and FDA-cleared solution for addressing the root causes of neck pain without the risks and downtime of surgery.

Why Does Neck Pain Develop?

Most cases of severe neck pain result from compressive forces on the cervical spine, often due to poor posture, repetitive stress, or injuries. These forces can lead to:

• Herniated or bulging discs: When discs lose hydration or become damaged, they press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling.
• Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal compresses the spinal cord or nerves, resulting in chronic discomfort.
• Degenerative disc disease: Over time, wear and tear on the discs can create instability and inflammation.

Traditional treatments like pain medications, injections, or even surgery often focus on masking symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause of the pain. That’s where NSSD comes in.

Why Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work So Well?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the DRX9000 gently and precisely relieves pressure on cervical discs and nerves. Here’s why it’s so effective:

• The DRX9000’s servo motor system adjusts and monitors muscle tension 13 times per second, ensuring a smooth and controlled decompression process that prevents muscle guarding.
• Treatments are fully customizable, allowing adjustments to the angle, pull, timing, and rest periods to target specific discs.
• It creates a negative pressure within the spinal discs, encouraging the rehydration of damaged discs and reducing nerve impingement.

Patients often experience significant pain relief within a few sessions, with long-term benefits as part of a comprehensive care plan.

"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, San Diego

 

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.

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.

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 !
