Best Non-Surgical Back Pain Treatment in Kearny Mesa, CA

Best Non-Surgical Back Pain Treatment in Kearny Mesa, CA

Back pain can take over your entire life — making it difficult to work, sleep, exercise, or even move without thinking about every step. For many people in Kearny Mesa, the frustration comes from trying so many treatments that just don’t seem to hold: chiropractic adjustments, massage, acupuncture, injections, or medications that simply mask the pain.

If you’re looking for the best non-surgical back pain treatment in Kearny Mesa, CA, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) on the DRX9000 has helped thousands of people avoid surgery and finally get real relief — even when nothing else worked.

As Dr. Boelk, DC — a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and a doctor who has spent nearly 21 years specializing exclusively in this field — my focus is helping patients heal the root cause of their disc and nerve pain naturally and safely.

Patients come not only from Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, and Greater San Diego, but also from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, the UK, Mexico, and Spain seeking this level of specialized care.

Why Our Kearny Mesa Clinic Is Known for Successful, Lasting Relief

1. True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression With the DRX9000

Many people have tried traction or other “decompression” systems with little success. The DRX9000 — backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic — creates a precise logarithmic pull pattern that gently lowers disc pressure and allows herniations and bulges to retract away from irritated nerves.

2. Over 100,000 Spinal Decompression Treatments Performed

Experience matters. I’ve been helping patients avoid surgery for nearly two decades, with more than 100,000 decompression sessions performed and refined.

3. Seven DRX9000 Machines in One Clinic

This makes our Kearny Mesa location the largest known spinal decompression provider in California, ensuring better availability even with high patient demand.

4. Customized Treatment Plans, Not Cookie-Cutter Care

Every spine is different — which is why decompression angle, pull sequence, tension levels, session progression, and integration of active rehab are all individualized.

5. Long-Term Stability Through Active Therapy

Decompression relieves the pressure. Strengthening, mobility, and stability keep it from coming back. That’s why we integrate both passive and active strategies.

⭐ Real Patient Results From People Just Like You

Testimonial #1 – Toni H., San Diego, CA

Full Testimonial:
“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”

Why This Matters for You:

Many people in Kearny Mesa come to us right before giving up or scheduling surgery. Toni’s story shows that long-term sciatica and back pain can improve dramatically when the disc pressure is corrected — even after a decade of frustration.

Testimonial #2 – Anthony K., San Diego, CA

Full Testimonial:
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”

Why This Matters for You:

Even patients who have already had surgery — and still have pain — often find relief with the DRX9000 because it corrects disc pressure that surgery cannot fix.

Testimonial #3 – Jan H., San Marcos, CA

Full Testimonial:
“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocoss neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional.
He also recommended to seek an additional opinion from another neurosurgeon. My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!”

Why This Matters for You:

Not everyone is a candidate — and that’s an important part of why our results stay high. If decompression won’t help you, we let you know immediately and guide you toward the right next step.

Testimonial #4 – Lynn C., Alaska

Full Testimonial:
“I was having pain radiating down my legs — I couldn’t sleep or walk normally. After treatment, I’m back to shoveling snow, teaching, walking… I can live again. It was absolutely worth traveling from Alaska to see Dr. Boelk and his team!”

Testimonial #5 – Abel T., San Diego, CA

Full Testimonial:
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.
I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.
The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.
The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

Why This Matters for You:

Abel’s story shows what happens when decompression is combined with the right strengthening plan — fast pain relief followed by long-term stability and confidence.
