Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Herniated Disc – Kearny Mesa, CA

A herniated disc is one of the leading causes of persistent lower back and leg pain among residents of Kearny Mesa. Long hours sitting at a desk, commuting, lifting, childcare, and even old sports injuries can create mechanical stress that eventually leads to disc herniation. When the inner disc material presses against nearby nerves, pain becomes sharp, burning, and often radiates into the hip or leg.

Many people in Kearny Mesa try chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, injections, stretching routines, or medications — only to discover their pain keeps returning. That’s because most of these methods do not reduce the internal pressure inside the spinal disc, which is the actual mechanical problem.

True healing requires addressing the disc itself, not just the surrounding muscles.

This is where DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression sets itself apart as the most advanced non-surgical treatment available.

Why Herniated Discs Are So Persistent

A disc herniates when pressure builds inside the disc faster than the tissue can withstand. The gel-like center pushes outward, irritating the nerve root and triggering inflammation. Daily activities common in Kearny Mesa — sitting, bending, twisting, lifting, golf, workouts, or long drives — all worsen disc pressure.

Symptoms often include:

• Radiating leg pain

• Deep, aching lower back pain

• Pain with sitting

• Pain bending forward

• Numbness or tingling

• Sharp pain when standing up

• Weakness in one leg

Because the disc remains compressed, many people feel improved temporarily but soon relapse.

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression — The Top Non-Surgical Treatment in Kearny Mesa

The DRX9000 creates a negative-pressure environment inside the disc. This allows:

• Herniated material to retract

• Nerve pressure to decrease

• Disc fluid to rehydrate

• Height to be restored

• Inflammation to settle

• Muscles to relax

Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC operates seven DRX9000 machines at his San Diego clinic, making it the largest known DRX9000 facility in California. Every treatment protocol is customized using precise angles, forces, and cycles based on MRI findings and the patient’s biomechanics.

Residents of Kearny Mesa frequently report that this approach finally gave them long-term relief after months or years of frustration.

Real Patient Success Stories

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 Decompression 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 commiting to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”

Lisa S. — United Kingdom

“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!”
