Back Surgery Alternatives with No Drugs or Injections – San Diego, CA

If you're living with chronic back pain, disc herniations, sciatica, or spinal stenosis, you've likely been told your only options are drugs, injections, or surgery. But here's the truth: there is a better way—and it's available right here in San Diego.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in non-surgical, drug-free, and injection-free solutions to help patients not only avoid surgery—but finally get the long-lasting pain relief they've been searching for.

Why So Many Back Surgeries Fail (And What to Do Instead)

Spinal surgeries are often invasive, risky, and come with long recovery times. Worse, studies show a high percentage of patients who undergo back surgery end up with failed back surgery syndrome—experiencing continued or worsened pain post-op.

The problem? Many surgeries and injections don’t fix the actual cause of the pain. They often focus on masking symptoms instead of relieving the compression, inflammation, and structural imbalance that caused the issue in the first place.

That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

We exclusively use the DRX9000, the most advanced and research-backed spinal decompression system available—FDA-cleared and proven effective by studies at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

This technology gently and precisely decompresses the spine to:

• Reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves
• Improve disc hydration and nutrition
• Promote natural healing without surgery
• Relieve pain from bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs

Unlike basic traction or inversion tables, true decompression with the DRX9000 is customized to your body, targeting the exact spinal levels that are injured.

Why You’re in Expert Hands with Dr. Boelk, DC

I’m Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist. After breaking my back at age 16 and later suffering multiple disc injuries, I’ve spent over 20 years helping patients avoid surgery—with over 65,000 decompression sessions performed.

I’ve personally rehabbed my own spine and understand what it takes to recover without invasive procedures. I also train other doctors in my proprietary NSSD protocols through the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy, which I founded in my San Diego clinic.

Patients fly and drive in from all over the U.S., Mexico, Canada, the U.K., and Spain to seek out this level of care.
