Chiropractors Using Spinal Decompression in San Diego, CA – Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC Is the Top Choice
If you’re searching for chiropractors using spinal decompression in San Diego, CA, you’re likely looking for a safe, non-surgical solution to relieve back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, or sciatica. While many chiropractors may offer spinal decompression, not all treatments are the same—and choosing the right provider is essential to getting the relief you need.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers the most advanced technology, personalized care plans, and over 20 years of experience in treating disc-related conditions through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). Patients from San Diego, across the U.S., and even internationally travel to seek his expertise because of his proven track record in helping patients avoid surgery and achieve lasting pain relief.
Why Not All Chiropractors Offer Spinal Decompression (NSSD)
While chiropractic care is a common approach to treating spinal issues, not all chiropractors are trained in or offer Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. NSSD is a specialized treatment that requires:
✅ Advanced technology beyond traditional chiropractic equipment
✅ Specialized training to properly operate spinal decompression machines
✅ An understanding of specific protocols tailored to each patient’s condition
Some chiropractors may rely solely on manual adjustments, which may not be sufficient for patients suffering from severe disc bulges, herniations, or chronic nerve compression. Spinal decompression goes beyond adjustments by targeting the root cause of the problem—reducing pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
Why Not All Spinal Decompression Treatments Are the Same
Even among chiropractors who offer NSSD, the quality of care can vary significantly based on:
✅ The technology used
✅ The experience of the provider
✅ Treatment protocols and customization
Some offices use inferior or outdated equipment that fails to provide the precise, controlled decompression necessary for optimal results. In contrast, properly performed NSSD should be tailored to each patient, with adjustments made throughout the treatment process based on progress and feedback.
Why the DRX 9000 Is the Best Spinal Decompression Technology Available
At our clinic, we exclusively use the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 spinal decompression system, which is widely regarded as the gold standard in NSSD technology. Here’s why:
✅ Advanced Precision: The DRX 9000 allows for precise targeting of specific spinal segments, ensuring that the affected disc receives optimal decompression.
✅ Proven Effectiveness: Clinical studies from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic have validated the effectiveness of the DRX 9000 in reducing disc pressure and relieving pain.
✅ Patient Comfort: Unlike older machines, the DRX 9000 is designed with patient comfort in mind, offering a smooth, pain-free decompression experience.
✅ Consistent Results: With the DRX 9000, we’ve been able to help patients avoid surgery and achieve long-term relief—even when other treatments have failed.

Hear What Our Patients Have to Say
I want to write an updated review of this place. My first few sessions did not seem promising or go the way I imagined, so I stopped going and also wrote and honest review. I left it at that and went about my life. I honestly did not think any action would result after my review. But I have to give kudos to Dr. Cassidy, he was not aware of what had happened after I decided to not continue with my treatment plan and also wanted to address the concerns on my review. He addressed the matter personally by emailing me with a heart felt apology and also noted to address my concerns moving forward.
He genuinely wanted me to get better and get the care I needed. When I tell you he addressed it, I mean he addressed it! He provided several options in order to ensure that I got the care I needed. After going over the options I decided to proceed with the one that would result in me going back to the facility. I was a little skeptical because of my review and thought there would be some weird feeling and treatment from the staff. To my surprise, I came in and everything was as if I never wrote the review but did see that some of the concerns were addressed right away.
Dr. Cassidy had a small follow up meeting with me that same day to addressed what had happened and what caused me to not return he apologized himself and on behalf of the staff. After everything was discussed and cleared up, I decided to continue treatment. I continued to finish the 12 sessions as originally planned. The pain seemed to have gotten a lot better but there was still some slight discomfort. He suggested to come back in two weeks to see how I would feel and also to continue my workout routine since there was some improvement.
I have been able to workout a lot more WITHOUT severe pain on my neck before and after each workout session. I returned after two weeks as planned, remember I had already started working out again and doing my normal activities. My pain scaling from a 1-10, was at a 9 that day. I knew I was slightly pushing it and was due for a session so there I was. We did a session and instantly I felt so much better. It's been 2.5 weeks since that last treatment and I have not had any headaches or sever neck pain.
I will be going back on the 3rd week. I can definitely see that my condition has improved a lot due to the treatments. I used to take Tylenol a lot for the pain and I can't remember the last time I took one. I will continue to maintain my sessions per doctor recommendations. I came in with severe pain, defeated, almost crying, and unable to hold up a bottle of water or lift a barbell and now I am able to do that and so much more. Please, please give this place a chance. I gave them not 1 but 2 chances, and it has changed my life drastically! I cannot stress how nice and caring the staff really is, especially the Doctor, they genuinely want you to get better. - Julianne E., San Diego, CA
“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocoss neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion form another neurosurgeon. On top of this, he did not charge me anything... To me, this tells the story: he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and recommend him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!” - Jan H.

"Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day & within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people. I've never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be 4 people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I guess I just cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth. If you visit him, please listen to him & follow his instructions. He knows what's best for you. " - Erin T
