Chronic Lower Back Pain Relief – San Diego, CA (Non-Surgical Treatment)

Fast, Lasting Relief Without Surgery, Drugs, or Injections

Chronic lower back pain can quietly take over your life — affecting your ability to sit, stand, exercise, or even sleep comfortably. Many people start with mild stiffness or occasional soreness that gradually worsens until it becomes constant and limits daily life.

In most cases, chronic lower back pain isn’t just a muscle problem — it’s a disc issue. When spinal discs lose hydration or compress unevenly, they begin pressing on nerves and creating pain, numbness, or tingling. Unless that pressure is relieved at its source, the pain often returns no matter how many massages, stretches, or medications you try.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, has helped thousands of patients find lasting relief from chronic lower back pain — safely and effectively. For over 21 years, Dr. Boelk has specialized exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 — the most advanced and research-supported decompression system available.

💡 Why Chronic Lower Back Pain Persists

Conventional approaches like pain medication, rest, or stretching may temporarily reduce discomfort but rarely correct the root cause.
Common underlying problems include:

• Herniated or bulging discs placing pressure on spinal nerves

• Degenerative disc disease reducing disc height and mobility

• Chronic compression from poor posture or past injuries

• Disc protrusions or extrusions causing inflammation and nerve irritation

True recovery requires decompressing the spine — not merely stretching it. Spinal Decompression Therapy creates the negative pressure necessary to re-hydrate discs, relieve nerve pressure, and restore balance to the spine.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The DRX9000 uses advanced computer-controlled technology to safely and precisely separate the vertebrae. This creates a gentle vacuum effect inside the spinal discs called spinal imbibition, drawing oxygen, water, and essential nutrients back into the disc to promote healing and relieve pressure.

Key Benefits of the DRX9000 System

• Directly reduces nerve compression and inflammation

• Restores disc height and hydration

• Improves mobility and range of motion

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

• Comfortable, relaxing, and non-invasive with zero downtime

Each treatment is fully customized to your exact spinal condition — unlike generic traction or inversion systems. Settings such as angle, tension, and pull sequence are adjusted specifically to each patient’s anatomy, ensuring maximum safety and results.

🌟 Real Patient Success Stories

March 7, 2025 – Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

“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.”

March 2025 – Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA

“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.”

Lisa S., United Kingdom

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”

🏠 Simple At-Home Tips to Support Recovery

While NSSD treatments address the root cause, these simple steps help accelerate healing and reduce flare-ups:

• Daily Movement: Take 20–30 minutes of controlled walking each day to keep discs hydrated.

• Stretch the Hips: Perform a modified runner’s stretch to open hip flexors and reduce spinal tension.

• Core Stability: Do planks, bridges, and bird-dog leg lifts to support spinal balance.

• Posture Breaks: Avoid long sitting periods; stand and move every 30–45 minutes.

• Mindful Breathing: Helps reduce stress-related tension that worsens pain.

• Hydrate Daily: Discs need water for shock absorption and flexibility.

Consistency with small habits enhances results and protects long-term spinal health.
