Best Rated Spinal Decompression Clinic in San Diego, CA

When it comes to finding the best spinal decompression clinic in San Diego, CA, patients consistently choose The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego—and they do so for good reason.

Led by Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and the founder of the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy, our clinic has earned a reputation not just locally, but nationally and internationally. In fact, many patients drive and fly in from states such as Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Montana, and Alaska, and countries including Mexico, Spain, and the UK, specifically to seek out Dr. Boelk’s care.

What is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)?

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared therapy designed to treat some of the most difficult spinal conditions without surgery, injections, or medications.

It works by gently creating negative pressure within the spinal discs, which helps reduce disc bulges, herniations, and compression on nerves. This not only helps relieve pain, but also promotes healing of the disc tissue.

Common conditions we treat with NSSD include:
✅ Herniated discs
✅ Bulging discs
✅ Sciatica
✅ Degenerative disc disease
✅ Chronic neck and low back pain

Why We Only Use the DRX9000

Not all decompression machines are the same—and using the wrong one can lead to poor results.

At our clinic, we exclusively use the DRX9000, which is the most researched and proven spinal decompression system available. Studies at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic have validated its effectiveness.

Many generic traction tables marketed as "spinal decompression" lack the precise control and safety protocols built into the DRX9000. This is why we use it for every case—our goal is to achieve maximum results with safety and comfort.

Why Dr. Boelk is Considered a Top Expert

Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has performed over 65,000 spinal decompression sessions and is widely regarded as one of the most experienced spinal decompression doctors in the country. He has spent thousands of hours not only treating patients but also rehabbing his own severe spinal injuries, which gives him a unique understanding of what patients go through.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Boelk is the founder of the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy, where he teaches other doctors across the U.S. how to properly deliver decompression therapy using the DRX9000 and active care protocols.

His approach integrates:
✅ Personalized decompression protocols (no "cookie cutter" settings)
✅ Passive therapy with the DRX9000
✅ Active therapy focused on spinal mobility, stability, and functional movement
✅ Specific exercises designed to support long-term healing

What Sets Us Apart from Other Clinics

Unfortunately, many clinics advertise "spinal decompression" but fail to deliver true decompression therapy. They may:
🚫 Use outdated or generic traction equipment
🚫 Skip proper assessment protocols
🚫 Offer no active rehab to support spinal healing

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we do things differently:
✅ We exclusively use DRX9000 machines (we have 7 on-site)—more than any other known clinic in California.
✅ We personalize every protocol to each patient’s unique condition.
✅ We integrate active care to correct imbalances and strengthen the spine.
✅ We are trusted by patients from across the U.S. and internationally—our results and reputation speak for themselves.

Why Patients Drive and Fly In from Out of State

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, I found spinal decompression. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk. After a consultation where I felt heard and never rushed, I committed to the plan. I am so glad I did."
— Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA

"I now travel from El Centro four times a week because of the amazing results. I feel better and have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank you!"
— Mercedes Bautista, El Centro, CA

"I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one is touching the nerve. The spinal decompression treatments really help keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment."
— Skate Lisa, UK

Patients choose to come here—even if it means a plane ticket or a long drive—because they’ve heard about our success with cases that other clinics and providers couldn’t help.

✅ We routinely help patients avoid back or neck surgery when possible.
✅ We welcome patients who have tried physical therapy, injections, chiropractic, and even failed decompression elsewhere—and still find success with us.
