Conditions We Treat

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the advanced DRX9000 system. These are some of the most common spinal conditions we help patients find relief from every day.

All treatments are performed in-office under the care of Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, who has performed over 75,000 decompression sessions.

 

Chronic Lower Back Pain

Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common spinal problems, often caused by disc compression, nerve irritation, or degenerative changes. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression gently relieves pressure from compressed discs, helping restore comfort and function naturally.

 

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the inner disc material pushes outward, compressing nearby nerves and causing pain or numbness. DRX9000 decompression therapy creates a vacuum-like effect within the disc, helping to reduce pressure and promote natural healing.

 

Sciatica

Sciatica results from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, leading to sharp, radiating pain down the leg. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression can reduce nerve compression at the root, providing lasting relief for many patients.

 

Neck Pain

Neck pain often stems from disc compression, poor posture, or injury. Our decompression protocols help relieve pressure on cervical discs and improve motion and comfort.

 

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or legs. DRX9000 decompression therapy can relieve that nerve pressure, helping patients move more freely without invasive procedures.

 

Foraminal (Pyramidal) Stenosis

Foraminal stenosis — sometimes referred to as pyramidal stenosis — occurs when the small openings where spinal nerves exit become narrowed. Decompression helps restore proper spacing in the spine and can reduce nerve irritation and radiating pain.

 

Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra slips forward or backward over another, often leading to pain or instability. Our non-surgical decompression programs can reduce nerve tension and support spinal alignment for improved stability.

 

Degenerative Disc Disease

As discs naturally lose hydration and elasticity over time, pain and stiffness can develop. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression improves nutrient exchange to help the discs stay healthy and flexible.

 

Disc Bulges

A bulging disc places pressure on the spinal nerves and can lead to pain or tingling sensations. Decompression therapy gently reduces pressure, allowing the disc to return closer to its normal position.

 

Slipped Discs

When a spinal disc moves out of its normal alignment, it can pinch nerves and cause severe pain. DRX9000 therapy reduces the internal disc pressure, helping restore normal function and relieve symptoms.

 

Pinched Nerves

Pinched nerves create sharp, burning, or shooting pain sensations that can radiate into the arms or legs. Our decompression treatments reduce the cause of nerve pressure and help patients regain comfort and control.

 

Disc Protrusions

Disc protrusions occur when disc material extends beyond its normal space. Decompression therapy helps draw the disc back inward, easing tension on nearby nerves.

 

Disc Extrusions

Disc extrusions involve a deeper disc tear or material leaking outward. By lowering pressure inside the disc, decompression can help relieve associated pain and nerve symptoms.

 

Annular Tears or Fissures

An annular tear is a small rip in the outer layer of the disc that can cause pain or inflammation. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression helps lower internal disc pressure and allows better conditions for recovery.

 

Loss of Disc Height

When discs flatten or lose height, it increases spinal compression and nerve irritation. DRX9000 decompression can help restore space and promote nutrient flow back into the disc.

 

Disc Desiccation

Disc desiccation refers to discs drying out with age or stress. Gentle decompression increases nutrient exchange and supports disc rehydration naturally.

 

Whiplash / Back Pain from Whiplash

Whiplash can strain spinal joints and discs, causing pain and stiffness. Decompression therapy relieves pressure on irritated discs and helps promote recovery.

 

Headaches & Migraines

Many chronic headaches and migraines are linked to cervical disc or joint compression. By addressing the spinal source of the problem, decompression can help reduce frequency and intensity.

 

Hip, Leg, and Shoulder Pain

Referred pain from the spine can travel into the hips, legs, and shoulders. We focus on decompressing the areas causing nerve irritation to reduce radiating pain and improve mobility.

 

Neuropathy

Nerve irritation or compression from the spine can lead to tingling, burning, or numbness in the arms or legs. Spinal decompression can help reduce the pressure contributing to these symptoms.

 

Scoliosis

Scoliosis involves a sideways curve of the spine that may cause uneven pressure and discomfort. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression helps reduce localized pressure, improving flexibility and comfort.

 

TMJ

TMJ pain can sometimes be related to cervical spine issues or nerve irritation. Targeted decompression and alignment correction can help relieve referred pain from the neck to the jaw.

 

Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can cause sudden disc injury and nerve compression. DRX9000 therapy provides a safe, non-invasive way to relieve pressure and promote healing after spinal trauma.
