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

Living with a herniated disc can feel like a constant uphill battle. The sharp jolts of pain, numbness running into the legs, and loss of mobility can quickly steal the quality of your daily life. Most people are told their choices are limited to injections, prescription drugs, or back surgery.

Thankfully, that’s not always true.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, right here near the heart of Kearny Mesa, patients are finding lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a safe, proven treatment that targets the actual cause of herniated disc pain.

How Spinal Decompression Works

The treatment uses the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, the most researched decompression machine available. By gently and precisely relieving pressure inside the discs, the DRX9000:

• Creates a negative pressure that allows herniated disc material to retract.

• Improves circulation of nutrients, oxygen, and hydration into the injured disc.

• Reduces nerve irritation that causes pain, tingling, and sciatica.

• Promotes natural healing rather than just covering up symptoms.

This is very different from traction or inversion devices — it’s an advanced, computer-guided technology supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

What Local & International Patients Say

Calder Pearce – San Diego, CA (3/07/25)
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I had lower back problems for 5+ years and saw 6 other doctors. I came in not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February, I was bending again with minimal pain, and by March I was completely pain-free. I am EXTREMELY happy I avoided surgery and found Dr. Boelk.”

Marlo Surovsky – San Diego, CA
“After two failed cortisone shots and being told surgery might be my only option, I found Dr. Boelk. I never felt rushed, I felt heard, and his treatment plan worked. After 18 treatments I am completely pain-free. No meds. Just committing to the plan. This was life-changing.”

Lisa S. – United Kingdom
“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his team. I have 3 bulging discs and one pressing on a nerve. The DRX9000 decompression treatments keep me active and pain-free. I will not go anywhere else.”
