Avoiding Back Surgery in Kearny Mesa, CA
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression May Be the Solution You’ve Been Looking For
If you’ve been told you need back surgery or are considering it as a last resort, there’s something you need to know—most back surgeries are unnecessary. Even worse, many surgeries fail to address the actual cause of pain, leading to continued symptoms, additional procedures, and long recovery periods.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, CA, we offer a highly effective, non-surgical alternative called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the state-of-the-art DRX9000 system. This treatment is designed to fix the root cause of the pain—not just mask the symptoms.
🔍 Why Most Back Surgeries Don’t Work
Back surgery is often aimed at removing or altering tissue that is believed to be irritating nerves or creating pressure within the spine. While this may seem logical, it doesn't address the root cause of why that pressure developed in the first place—which is often spinal disc compression, poor stability, lack of mobility, and dysfunctional movement patterns.
In fact, studies show that a significant percentage of back surgeries fail to relieve pain long-term, especially when structural imbalances, muscular weakness, and disc hydration are not addressed.
⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
NSSD is a treatment that gently and precisely stretches the spine using computerized technology to create negative pressure within the discs. This reduces pressure on compressed nerves and creates space for discs to begin healing naturally.
At our clinic, we exclusively use the FDA-cleared DRX9000, the most advanced spinal decompression system available today. It offers:
-
Precise, comfortable, computer-guided spinal traction
-
Measurable disc rehydration and decompression
-
Customizable protocols based on each patient’s unique condition
This process allows bulging or herniated discs to retract and reduces nerve pressure, often relieving sciatica, chronic back pain, and even symptoms of spinal stenosis.
💡 Why the DRX9000 Is the Gold Standard
We don’t cut corners with outdated or generic machines. Our clinic is proud to be the largest spinal decompression center in California, with 7 DRX9000 machines on-site.
These systems are backed by research from institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Mayo Clinic, making them the safest and most effective non-invasive treatment option for:
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Sciatica
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Spinal stenosis
-
Chronic neck or lower back pain
-
Failed back surgery (non-fusion cases)
🔄 Active + Passive Therapy = Long-Term Success
Spinal decompression (passive therapy) is only part of the equation. To prevent your problem from returning, we must also address why the problem started in the first place.
That’s where active therapy comes in.
At our clinic, we guide patients through customized rehab programs that include:
-
Core and hip stability training
-
Postural re-education
-
Mobility drills for the spine and hips
-
Functional strength and balance work
This combination of DRX9000 decompression therapy and corrective rehab ensures not only pain relief, but also long-term function and resilience.
