Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Herniated Disc – Chula Vista, CA
A herniated disc can cause debilitating pain for residents of Chula Vista, especially those who spend long hours commuting, sitting at desks, caring for young children, working in physically demanding jobs, or staying active in sports or fitness. When disc material pushes outward and irritates the spinal nerves, symptoms become intense and persistent — often spreading from the lower back into the hip, glute, or leg.
Many Chula Vista patients want long-lasting results without the risks of spinal surgery, and research supports that most disc herniations respond extremely well to targeted non-surgical treatment when disc pressure is properly reduced.
This is where DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression provides one of the most reliable and safest options.
Why Herniated Discs Commonly Affect Chula Vista Residents
Chula Vista has a highly active and hardworking population — military families, office workers, healthcare professionals, trades workers, parents, athletes, and students. Many residents experience disc injuries due to:
-
Heavy lifting
-
Prolonged sitting
-
Long commutes
-
Athletic strain
-
Past injuries
-
Aging and disc dehydration
Once a disc herniates, it can produce:
-
Sciatica
-
Numbness or tingling
-
Sharp pain with movement
-
Difficulty sitting or standing
-
Pain bending forward
-
Radiating leg pain
-
Muscle spasms
Temporary treatments help reduce symptoms but do not change internal disc pressure, which is necessary for true recovery.
Why DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Is the Top Non-Surgical Option in Chula Vista
The DRX9000 is the most advanced decompression system for lowering disc pressure and promoting healing. It gently separates the vertebrae, creating a negative-pressure environment that:
-
Pulls herniated material inward
-
Reduces nerve compression
-
Increases hydration in the disc
-
Restores height and function
-
Improves blood flow and healing
-
Reduces muscle tension
Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC operates seven DRX9000 units in his San Diego clinic, the largest known DRX9000 facility in California. Protocols are individualized using MRI findings and precise mechanical angles to specifically target the injured disc.
Chula Vista patients often report significant improvement even after years of unsuccessful conservative care.
Patient Testimonials
Calder Pearce — San Diego, CA
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”
Marlo Surovsky — San Diego, CA
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.
Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Distraction and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews).
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan.
I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”

“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.”
Kaitelyn H. — San Diego, CA
“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”
