Back Surgery Alternative in San Diego, CA: Find Relief Without Going Under the Knife
If you’re suffering from chronic back pain, you’ve likely been told that surgery is your best—or only—option. But what if there was another way? At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC offers effective, non-surgical solutions that help many patients avoid invasive procedures and lengthy recovery times.
Why Back Surgery Is Often Unnecessary
While back surgery can be helpful in certain cases, many surgeries are performed unnecessarily and fail to produce long-term relief. Studies show that a significant number of patients experience either no improvement or, worse, a return of pain within months after surgery. Even when initial results are promising, the underlying causes of the pain—such as disc compression or muscle imbalances—are often not addressed, leading to recurrence.
Common issues with back surgery include:
🚫 Limited long-term success rates
🚫 High risk of post-surgical complications and scar tissue formation
🚫 Significant downtime and rehabilitation
🚫 Potential need for repeat surgeries
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) targets the root cause of back pain: compressed discs and pinched nerves. Unlike surgery, which often only addresses symptoms, NSSD works to rehydrate and restore disc function through gentle spinal stretching that creates negative pressure within the disc.
Benefits of NSSD:
✅ Relieves pressure on compressed nerves
✅ Encourages herniated or bulging discs to retract
✅ Improves disc hydration and spinal alignment
✅ No downtime, anesthesia, or invasive procedures required
✅ Supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic
At our center, we use only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 machines, which are the most advanced and thoroughly researched decompression systems available.
