Best Spinal Decompression Office in La Jolla, CA 

– The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego

Amanda S., San Diego, CA (June 8, 2025)

“This review is long overdue. I came here initially with skepticism but also hope—they were my last resort for ongoing back issues after a whiplash injury in 2022.
I had tried just about everything: sports massages, chiropractors, cupping, acupuncture—nothing gave me lasting relief.
That changed when I started spinal decompression therapy here. From the beginning, they were upfront and let me know it might take 12 or more sessions to feel significant relief.
But during one visit, the doctor asked how I was doing, and I suddenly realized—I hadn’t felt pain in a while. That moment came after just six sessions.
I’m now on a maintenance program and come in as needed. While I still experience occasional flare-ups, the relief this treatment provides has been life-changing.”

🧠 How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Heals the Spine

For those in La Jolla living with herniated discs, sciatica, or chronic back and neck pain, True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX 9000 offers an advanced, non-invasive solution proven to relieve nerve pressure and restore function.
Unlike simple traction, NSSD creates a gentle, targeted negative pressureinside the injured disc—drawing oxygen, water, and nutrients back in while helping the bulge retract naturally.

Key Benefits of DRX 9000 Therapy

• Relieves nerve compression and radiating pain
• Restores disc height & mobility
• Reduces inflammation & muscle spasm
• Enhances disc hydration (spinal imbibition)
• Helps patients avoid injections or surgery

“I had severe back pain and couldn’t sleep—sciatic pain shot down my leg after an accident.
Dr. Boelk evaluated me and said I was a great candidate for decompression. After just two sessions, my sciatic pain was gone, and we began addressing the root cause.
I completed 24 sessions and moved into rehab to strengthen my core. The office is spotless, the staff is incredible, and Dr. Boelk is hands-down amazing.
I’m finally back to living normally again—and pain-free.”

💧 The Importance of Spinal Imbibition

Healthy discs depend on spinal imbibition, a natural process that pulls nutrients and oxygen into the spine.
When discs are injured or compressed, this process stops—causing degeneration and pain.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression reactivates this healing cycle by restoring motion and negative pressure.
As discs rehydrate, patients experience improved posture, flexibility, and long-term pain reduction.

🩻 Why We Use Only the DRX 9000

At our La Jolla-area decompression office, we use only FDA-cleared DRX 9000 True Spinal Decompression Systems, supported by clinical research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

We do not use generic traction or pull tables.
Our center is equipped with seven DRX 9000 machines, the most of any private clinic in California—allowing us to deliver the most advanced, comfortable, and precise spinal decompression available.

“At first, I didn’t think decompression was working and even left a review saying so.
Dr. Boelk personally reached out, apologized, and adjusted my plan. He checked in with me himself and genuinely cared that I got better.
After completing my sessions, my headaches and neck pain disappeared—and they’ve stayed gone.
The staff treated me kindly the whole time. I’m so glad I gave this place another chance.”
