I’ve known about decompression for awhile from reading articles and talking to doctors. I stayed with my pain for 6-7 years and didn’t want to get surgery. I had a serious neck injury that stopped me from doing activities like golf and running, which are passions of mine. I couldn’t do marathons or work out at all. I had to resort to just walking. Before decompression, I tried electrolysis, acupuncture, shots, different treatments and different doctors. I finally came in to the office and talked with Dr. Boelk. I’ve been here for over two months on treatment and stuck with it, with Dr. Boelk and Dr. Contreras, and can truly say there has been a significant change. I’m anxious to get out there now. This office and staff is truly professional and so nice.

I saw the Advanced Spine & Injury Center on T.V., called, and came on in. I’ve had back surgery and I was in pain from when screws where put in and from when the screws where put out of my back. I was so pleased and felt a release like no other once I did my first treatment. I thought I was going to have pain, but there was no pain at all. I’m normally skeptical coming into new places but I felt like and was treated like I was at home from everybody’s smile coming in. From the time I came here, I feel like a totally new person; no pain. I haven’t ran in 7-8 years and I finally got to run with my granddaughter. I would recommend anyone with back pain to come in and try. I was so glad I made the call.

My name is Betty Berger and I’m so thankful my friend told me about this treatment. I call it my miracle treatments. From a long time I was having pain in my back. Before coming here, I did shots and acupuncture and none of them worked. So I heard about this, and it’s amazing. I’m standing so straight and I get so many compliments now.
It’s a pleasant and peaceful place to come to. The entire program is just really amazing. The whole experience has been wonderful. I highly recommend this treatment to anybody with neck or back pain.

I came in here with severe lower back pain. I came in to see if Dr. Boelk can help me. After the second and third treatment, the pain was gone. The staff here is very friendly and nice. The program really helped me for what I do at work.
I was really impressed and it was a great experience all around. I highly recommend it to anybody with back pain.

Hi my name is Jake Bowen. I hurt my back really bad one day at work and couldn’t get up the next day. My wife and I came in to see Dr. Boelk and found out I had most likely perforated back. I went to get an MRI, which the girls helped to schedule, find my insurance coverage and it was taken care of. I found out I had perforated and bulging discs. After two months of treatment here, I felt like I was before. I came in extremely scared and thought I wasn’t going to be able to walk again. Now I feel perfectly fine. Being able to sit again and going back to work was huge for me. Dr. Boelk and his staff helped me out greatly.

I had really bad back pain. Before I came in I couldn’t walk. My daily life was getting out of bed and straight to the couch, and off the couch to use the restroom. I went to Mexicali to see a doctor who gave pills that did not work. He suggested shots but I didn’t want to do that. Thanks to God, my husband went on the internet and found about this treatment. At the beginning we were pretty skeptical. After a few treatments I started feeling better. “This treatment works.” I drove two hours every day from El Centro to San Diego, and as soon I arrived at the doctor’s office, I felt at home; a clean place with great people. They are excellent. I couldn’t walk and now I can… Amazing and true. Now after 24 treatments, I have my life back to normal and I’m even able to exercise 30-45 minutes every day. I’m so happy!

My husband, a patient of Dr. Boelk’s, recommended that I visit. I had been complaining of chronic back pain and struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Attempting to stand for extended periods of time or helping anyone move things would put me in 2-3 days of severe pain which would lead to neck pain, headaches and sometimes migraines. I’ve been to other chiropractors before, but had never been “prescribed” a treatment plan.
My upper back and neck pain does not leave me incapitated like it used to and I’m able to sit straighter. My posture has improved and honestly, my mood is better. I didn’t realize how much the pain affected my mood. Dr. Boelk and Dr. Contreras are incredibly personable and very dedicated to fostering a comfortable, welcoming and health conscious atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the treatments are manageable.

I feel Dr. Boelk’s treatments were the best help of all. I had cortisone shots but it didn’t help with my extreme pain. Surgery helped but not long. Dr. Boelk’s whole crew was so nice wanting to help. They made me feel real welcomed. I can’t say enough about them. I had the very best care. Having an everyday life without pain is priceless. I feel good and my attitude is so much better.

Hello. My name is Michael Lahr. I had a really bad bulging disc in my back and my doctor at the time told me that my only alternative is back surgery. I went on the internet and tried to look at alternative cures myself. Surgery wasn’t an option for me; I didn’t want my back cut. I looked for spinal decompression, heard good things about the treatment and found the Advanced Spine & Injury Center. I went in and Dr. Boelk told me what I had to do. After two weeks I started to feel a lot better. I was able to sleep. Before I wasn’t able to sleep, work, or interact with my kids. I couldn’t even stand up or walk when my back was flared up. From where I was to today, I’m very happy that I did come in here. The treatment really helped. It’s amazing to me because I haven’t been able to sleep for 2-3 years. My belief is, if it works…do it.

Hi, my name is Dave Reynolds and I’ve had lower back pain for the past 3-4 years. I went to the back doctor and I had two choices: surgery or rest. I choice to rest and the sciatica problem went away but the back pain persisted and progressively got worse. It was hard to play golf with the constant pain. A friend recommended the practice from the internet and I set up an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Boelk. He reviewed my MRI results and determined I had compressed discs. I was agreed to the DRX 9000 treatment and after weeks there has been significant improvement with my lower back problem. I don’t have the pain I had before and I know that progress has been made based on the results and evaluations taken place past weeks. I’m very impressed with the staff here. They’re very cordial and professional, almost like an extended family to me. I look forward to coming for treatments. I’ve been through my basic treatments but plan to come in for periodic treatments the next years to ensure I continue I make progress. I look at this as a very positive experience.

Hi, my name is Susana Honold. I’ve been doing treatments here at the Advanced Spine & Injury Center for a couple weeks now. When I came in, I was barely walking and limping in. I’ve been in pain for 12 years and have seen a couple doctors and haven’t found any similar help like the decompression treatment. I did MRI’s and none could really tell me what my disc problem because my pain was in the hip. After being tired of medication and shots, my husband, who is a doctor as well, found Dr. Boelk on the internet and I was in that day. The doctors and staff are amazing. You feel they are really listening to your problems, being extra nice and helpful to make you comfortable. I started noticing relief from the first week of treatment and it’s been getting better and better. I came in with pain a pain level at 9 out of 10 and now I’m at a 0, sometimes at a 1. Part of the success of the treatment was my part at home following exercises, icing instructions, and taking supplements. I really recommend this treatment to everyone. I’m not taking any medication now and pain free. This treatment has greatly improved the quality of my life. I will forever be grateful. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Janae. I came to the office with severe low back and neck pain. It prevented me from doing a lot of things I love to do. I’d tried regular chiropractic care before, but the NSSD treatments are what really changed things for me, along with adjustments throughout the weeks. Today, my pain is barely a fraction of what is used to be! I feel so much better and others say I’m looking better too. After my treatments, my low-mid back steadily felt better and better. The many adjustments along with the at-home exercises have helped my neck greatly. I’m back at the gym without the degree of pain I had before. The staff at, the Advanced Spine & Injury Center are all so caring and attentive. I felt very well taken care of by everyone at the office. I’m very impressed with everyone and everything! Thank you all so much!

Hi, my name is Danny Cho. I’ve been suffering from lower back pain for 4-5 years now. I ruptured two of my discs working out and tried physical therapy, I thought about surgery and nothing worked out. My friend told me about decompression therapy and it’s been a few months since I’ve been coming in here and it’s been excellent. Dr. Boelk and his staff are very nice and courteous. The treatment itself is definitely worth it. I’m almost back to 100%.
