Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Herniated Disc in San Diego, CA

A herniated disc can change your life overnight. The shooting pain, leg numbness, and weakness can make even simple daily activities nearly impossible. Many people are told their only option is medication, injections, or surgery.

But there is another way.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, patients find real relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a treatment proven to help discs heal naturally, without invasive procedures.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Heals Herniated Discs

Using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, spinal decompression gently reduces pressure inside the discs, creating a vacuum-like effect that:

1. Helps retract herniated disc material away from nerves.

2. Restores blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to injured discs.

3. Relieves nerve compression that causes sciatica, numbness, and tingling.

4. Promotes long-term healing rather than just masking pain.

This is not traction or inversion. This is advanced, research-backed care supported by studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

What Our 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.”

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA
