Alternative Herniated Disc Treatment in Mira Mesa, CA

Many people in Mira Mesa and throughout San Diego County are seeking natural, non-surgical options to treat herniated discs and sciatica — and for good reason.

While spinal surgery, injections, and medications may help mask pain temporarily, they rarely correct the true cause: disc compression. Without addressing this core problem, symptoms often return or worsen over time.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers a proven alternative: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), using the industry-leading DRX9000 system. This advanced therapy helps patients avoid surgery and regain lasting relief.

What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc bulges outward, putting pressure on the spinal nerves. Depending on the severity, this can cause:

✅ Lower back pain
✅ Sciatica — burning or shooting leg pain
✅ Tingling or numbness
✅ Muscle weakness
✅ Difficulty sitting, standing, walking, or sleeping

For many patients, symptoms can be severe and life-altering.

Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short

Many traditional herniated disc treatments offer temporary relief:

• Pain medications mask symptoms but do not correct disc damage.

• Injections may reduce inflammation but fail to decompress the nerve.

• Surgery carries risks, downtime, and no guarantee of success.

Without addressing the actual disc compression, the root cause remains.

Why NSSD Works — When Done Correctly

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 system is one of the most advanced and researched methods for helping herniated disc patients:

1️⃣ Creates negative pressure inside the disc, helping retract herniated material.
2️⃣ Relieves pressure on nerve roots, often reducing pain, numbness, and weakness.
3️⃣ Restores hydration and nutrients to the disc, promoting healing.

At Dr. Boelk’s clinic, 7 DRX9000 tables (the largest known NSSD center in California) are used with customized protocols — tailored to each patient’s needs. No “one-size-fits-all” approach.

Why Active Therapy Matters

As Dr. Boelk emphasizes, decompression alone is not enough.
To prevent recurring pain and disc issues, the clinic integrates:

✅ Spinal mobility training
✅ Core and hip stability work
✅ Postural retraining
✅ Movement pattern correction

This combination addresses both the cause of the problem and the factors that contributed to it, helping patients achieve lasting relief.

Patient Success Stories

Here’s what real patients have to say:

Amanda S.— Herniated Disc L5, Sciatica:
"Last year, I spent months going from doctor to doctor. An MRI showed an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve. Surgery was next — but I found Dr. Boelk first. Now, I’m walking pain-free, exercising daily, and back to life. I thank God I found this clinic. It changed everything."

Lisa S. — From the UK:
"I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his team. I have 3 bulging discs — one touching the nerve. The decompression keeps me active and pain-free. I won’t go anywhere else."

Marlo S. — San Diego, CA:
"I was so tired of living in pain. After two failed cortisone shots, I found spinal decompression here. I’m now completely pain-free and able to maintain my results with their guidance."
