Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Herniated Disc in La Jolla, CA

A herniated disc can bring life to a standstill. Pain radiating into the legs, numbness in the hips or buttocks, and difficulty sitting or standing for long periods are all common complaints. Too often, patients are told surgery or injections are the only way forward.

That isn’t always true.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, patients from La Jolla and across San Diego County are finding relief with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a proven treatment that targets the root cause of disc pain.

Why Spinal Decompression Is Different

The FDA-cleared DRX9000 machine gently and precisely reduces disc pressure. Unlike general traction, it is computer-guided and research-backed. Benefits include:

• Allowing herniated disc material to retract off irritated nerves.

• Increasing nutrient and oxygen delivery to injured discs.

• Relieving nerve compression that causes pain, numbness, and tingling.

• Helping discs heal naturally, rather than just covering symptoms.

This technology has been studied at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has performed over 75,000 decompression treatments and has specialized in decompression care exclusively for more than 20 years. His office is home to seven DRX9000 machines — making it the largest decompression center in California.

• Care is fully customized — never one-size-fits-all.

Success Stories

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.”

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA
