Best Treatments in San Diego to Avoid Spinal Surgery

If you’ve been told that your only option is spinal surgery, we’re here to tell you: there may be a better way.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients avoid surgery through the most advanced form of non-surgical care available today—Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

NSSD is a computer-guided treatment designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. Unlike inversion tables or basic traction, which provide a general stretch to the entire spine, true spinal decompression therapy using the DRX9000:

• Targets the exact disc or area of compression

• Monitors and adjusts in real time, 13 times per second

• Gently separates the spine to create negative pressure, allowing the disc to retract and heal

• Keeps surrounding muscles relaxed so healing can occur without muscle guarding

And unlike other general spinal traction devices, the DRX9000 system is backed by clinical research from respected institutions including Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.

Not All Decompression Is Created Equal

The truth is, many clinics claim to offer "spinal decompression," but they're not using real decompression systems. The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared, precise, and results-driven—but the machine is only as effective as the protocols behind it.

That’s why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC’s approach goes far beyond the basics.

Our care doesn’t stop at decompression. To ensure lasting results, we combine NSSD with:
