Chronic Lower Back Pain Relief – Kearny Mesa, CA (Non-Surgical Treatment)

Fast, Lasting Relief Without Surgery, Drugs, or Injections

Living with chronic lower back pain can make even simple movements a challenge. Many Kearny Mesa residents find that what starts as mild tightness or soreness can slowly progress into constant pain that limits their lifestyle, workouts, or ability to sit and sleep comfortably.

In most chronic cases, back pain isn’t just a pulled muscle — it’s often the result of disc compression, bulging, or degenerative disc changes. When these discs press on spinal nerves, it leads to inflammation, stiffness, numbness, or shooting pain down the legs.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, conveniently located near the Murphy Canyon corridor in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients finally find lasting relief — safely and without surgery. With over 21 years of experience and more than 75,000 spinal decompression treatments performed, Dr. Boelk and his team specialize exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 — the most advanced, research-supported system available today.

💡 Why Chronic Lower Back Pain Lingers

Temporary treatments like rest, medication, and stretching may dull the pain — but they don’t correct what’s happening inside the spine. In Kearny Mesa, many patients come to Dr. Boelk after trying these common approaches without lasting success.

Typical underlying causes include:

• Herniated or bulging discs pressing on spinal nerves

• Degenerative disc disease causing loss of disc height and motion

• Postural strain or past injuries that never fully healed

• Disc protrusions or extrusions creating nerve inflammation

These issues require true decompression — not traction, stretching, or inversion. Spinal Decompression Therapy gently reduces internal disc pressure and restores natural disc height so the spine can heal from within.

Testimonial – Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA (March 7, 2025)
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.

I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn’t happening he would let me know — which was not the case with other specialists I have seen in the past, so I appreciate that.”

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The DRX9000 system is far more advanced than traditional traction or stretching devices. It uses computer-controlled technology to gently separate the vertebrae, creating a precise vacuum effect inside the disc — a process called spinal imbibition.

This negative pressure allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow back into the disc, restoring its structure and relieving nerve pressure.

Key Benefits of the DRX9000 System

• Decompresses discs to relieve nerve pressure

• Reduces inflammation and improves mobility

• Promotes rehydration and natural healing

• FDA-cleared and backed by research from Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins, and Mayo Clinic

• Comfortable, non-invasive, and safe — with zero downtime

Every treatment is customized to each patient’s spinal condition. Dr. Boelk personally adjusts each session’s settings — including angle, pressure, and pull sequence — to achieve maximum results safely and comfortably.

Testimonial – Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA (March 2025)
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.

Sometimes Google is magic... I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5-star reviews intrigued me (and he deserves every one of those 5 stars).

After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan. I am now pain-free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self-care goals moving forward and I’m finally feeling zero discomfort. No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk’s recommended treatment plan.”

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one is touching the nerve.

• Mindful posture: Alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.
