Best Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment – Kearny Mesa, CA

 

If you are searching for the best non-surgical spinal decompression treatment in Kearny Mesa, CA, it likely means your pain has reached a point where temporary relief is no longer enough. Whether you’re dealing with disc bulges, herniations, sciatica nerve pain, or chronic low back and neck pain, you want something that actually creates change — not just another short-term patch.

The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared and has been researched by leading institutions including Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.

 

Why Patients Choose This Clinic

Not all decompression therapy is equal — in fact, most of what people call “decompression” is not true spinal decompression.

Many offices use:
❌ Traction tables
❌ Inversion devices
❌ Generic, preset programs
❌ Short 10-minute sessions
❌ Assistants running all treatments
❌ Universal settings for every patient

Those are not Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and are not comparable to the DRX9000.

What We Use Instead

✅ DRX9000 True NSSD – research-backed, calibrated disc treatment
✅ Individualized decompression profiles based on MRI & exam
✅ Gradual load progression to protect spinal discs and nerve roots
✅ Active rehabilitation to reinforce changes and prevent relapse
✅ Spinal biomechanics coaching so patients stop re-injuring themselves
✅ Movement correction and spinal stability progression
✅ Both passive and active therapy integration for lasting change

This is a full corrective program, not just machine therapy.

 

How Treatment Works

A customized program may include:

Component	Purpose
DRX9000 Spinal Decompression	Rehydrate discs, reduce nerve pressure, reposition disc material
Movement Mechanics Retraining	Prevent flare-ups and teach protective movement patterns
Hip & Core Stability Programming	Support spine, reduce compensation, increase strength
Spinal Stabilization	Build long-term resilience so symptoms don’t return
Home Care Reinforcement	Maintain improvements between sessions

Every aspect is personalized. Your condition, MRI findings, pain triggers, and stability patterns determine treatment — never a generic plan.

 

Who Qualifies

Not everyone is a candidate.

Some conditions may not qualify, including:
• Significant spinal instability
• Specific post-surgical fusions
• Certain metal implants
• Severe structural changes

Your candidacy is determined by:
📌 MRI
📌 X-rays
📌 Neurological evaluation
📌 Spinal assessment
📌 Health history review

If Dr. Boelk, DC cannot help you, he will tell you immediately and refer you to the correct provider. The goal is simple: get you to the right place as fast as possible, even if that isn’t here.

 

Real Patient Results

 

**“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!”**

“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom

 

**“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.

In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.

 

Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.

Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 hard which requires not one but 2 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!

 

I’m so thankful I found this place. It’s conveniently located near my work, which makes it easy to fit sessions into my lunch break. Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite—it’s always a pleasure to come in.

The environment is so relaxing that I look forward to each visit. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”**
