Best Spinal Decompression Office in San Diego, 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
Unlike traction or inversion tables, True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX 9000 gently creates a targeted negative pressure within the affected disc.
This vacuum effect draws oxygen, water, and nutrients into the disc, allowing the bulging or herniated portion to retract naturally and heal.
Benefits of DRX 9000 Therapy:
- Reduces pressure on spinal nerves
- Restores disc height and function
- Decreases inflammation and muscle spasm
- Enhances disc hydration and nutrient exchange (spinal imbibition)
- Helps patients avoid injections or surgery

“I had severe back pain to the point I couldn’t sleep, plus radiating sciatic nerve pain down my leg after an accident.
After an evaluation, Dr. Boelk told me I was a great candidate for decompression. After just two sessions, my sciatic pain was gone, and we began addressing the root issue.
I completed 24 sessions and transitioned into rehabilitation to strengthen my core. The office is spotless, the staff is outstanding, and Dr. Boelk is hands-down amazing.
I’m sleeping, walking, and living normally again — something I didn’t think possible.”
💧 The Importance of Spinal Imbibition
Healthy discs rely on spinal imbibition — the natural pumping of nutrients and oxygen into spinal discs during motion and decompression.
When discs are compressed or injured, this process stops, leading to degeneration and worsening pain.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression restores that critical motion and negative pressure, reactivating the healing cycle so the disc can repair itself.
Patients frequently report improved flexibility, posture, and a dramatic reduction in pain as their discs re-hydrate and heal.

“At first, I didn’t think decompression was working and even left a review saying so.
Dr. Boelk personally reached out, apologized, and invited me back to make things right. He adjusted my plan and checked in with me himself.
After completing my sessions, my neck pain and headaches were gone — and they’ve stayed gone.
The staff treated me with respect and genuine care the entire time. I’m so grateful I gave this place another chance.”
