DRX9000 Kearny Mesa
Looking for DRX9000 Treatment Near Kearny Mesa?
If you're looking for the DRX9000® near Kearny Mesa, you've probably already spent weeks—or even months—trying to figure out what's causing your back or neck pain.
Maybe you've been diagnosed with a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or sciatica.
Maybe you've already tried chiropractic care, physical therapy, medications, injections, or you've been told surgery may be your next option.
Now you're asking a different question:
"Does the DRX9000® actually work, and where can I find an experienced doctor who uses it?"
That's an excellent question.
The honest answer is that the DRX9000® can be an excellent treatment option for appropriately selected patients.
However, the machine itself is only part of the equation.
Choosing the right patient—and the right doctor—is equally important.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy James Boelk, DC has spent more than 22 years specializing in spinal disc injuries and has personally overseen more than 100,000 spinal decompression treatments.

Our commitment is simple: provide honest recommendations based on your condition—not pressure you into treatment.

"I Was One Step Away From Back Surgery."
Many patients who visit our office have already exhausted several treatment options before learning about spinal decompression.
One of those patients was Toni H.
"For the first time in 10 years, I am completely pain-free. My sciatica is gone, and I no longer have back pain.
Before finding Dr. Boelk, I tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, pain medications, and several other therapies that simply didn't work. I was one step away from back surgery when I discovered spinal decompression treatment at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego.
The results have been incredible. Every visit was comfortable, relaxing, and completely pain-free. Dr. Boelk and Patty always took the time to explain everything and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the process.
They are warm, welcoming, and truly dedicated to helping their patients.
Thank you, Dr. Boelk and Patty!"
— Toni H., San Diego, CA
Every patient responds differently, but stories like Toni's remind us that it's worth exploring all appropriate conservative treatment options before assuming surgery is your only choice.
Why Do So Many People Search for the DRX9000®?
Most people don't search for the DRX9000® the day their pain begins.
Instead, they usually search for:
- Herniated disc treatment
- Sciatica treatment
- Bulging disc treatment
- Alternatives to back surgery
As they continue researching, they eventually learn about non-surgical spinal decompression and begin looking specifically for offices that offer the DRX9000®.
By that point, they're no longer asking,
"What's causing my pain?"
They're asking,
"Where can I find an experienced doctor who uses the DRX9000®?"
That's exactly why we created this page.
What Makes the DRX9000® Different?
The DRX9000® is not simply a traction table.
It's a computerized spinal decompression system designed to apply gentle, controlled distraction forces to specific areas of the spine.
For appropriately selected patients, the goal is to reduce pressure on injured spinal discs while helping relieve irritation on nearby spinal nerves.
However, the DRX9000® isn't designed to treat every cause of back pain.
Back pain can originate from muscles, joints, arthritis, fractures, instability, and many other conditions.
That's why identifying the true source of your pain is far more important than simply choosing a treatment.
Why Experience Matters
One of the biggest misconceptions is that every office offering spinal decompression provides the same level of care.
The reality is that the machine is only one part of successful treatment.
Before recommending spinal decompression, Dr. Cassidy James Boelk, DC carefully evaluates:
✔ Your symptoms
✔ Your health history
✔ Your orthopedic examination
✔ Your neurological examination
✔ Previous treatments you've already tried
✔ Any imaging you already have available
Some patients come to our office with MRI studies.
Many do not.
If you've already had imaging, we'll gladly review it with you.
If additional imaging appears necessary after your examination, we'll explain why before making treatment recommendations.
The goal has always been to identify the true cause of your symptoms and recommend the treatment that makes the most sense for your condition—not simply recommend spinal decompression because you have back pain.
Why We Chose the DRX9000®
Patients occasionally ask why we don't offer several different spinal decompression systems.
The answer is simple.
After treating patients with spinal disc injuries for more than 22 years, Dr. Cassidy James Boelk, DC made the decision to focus exclusively on the DRX9000® and continually refine the treatment protocols used in our office.
Rather than dividing our attention between multiple systems, we've chosen to become highly experienced with one of the most recognized spinal decompression systems available.
Today, our office operates:
✔ 4 Lumbar DRX9000® Systems
✔ 3 Cervical DRX9000® Systems
With seven DRX9000® systems, we're able to accommodate patients more efficiently while providing the treatment frequency many conditions require.
Just as importantly, our doctors and staff work with the same technology every day, allowing us to deliver a consistent treatment experience for our patients.
What Does the Research Say?
One question we hear quite often is,
"Is there actually research behind spinal decompression?"
The answer is yes.
Published clinical studies have evaluated non-surgical spinal decompression as a conservative treatment option for certain disc-related spinal conditions. Researchers have reported improvements in pain, function, and disability scores in many appropriately selected patients following structured treatment programs.
Like every area of healthcare, no treatment works for everyone, and no study guarantees a particular outcome.
Research helps guide treatment decisions, but it never replaces a careful examination or an individualized treatment plan.
That's why we focus on treating patients—not MRI reports or research papers.
One Thing I've Learned After More Than 22 Years
One thing that continues to surprise me is how many patients believe they have only two options:
Live with the pain...
Or have surgery.
In reality, many patients have never had someone sit down with them, explain what's causing their symptoms, and discuss all of their treatment options.
Sometimes spinal decompression is appropriate.
Sometimes physical therapy is a better choice.
Sometimes surgery truly is necessary.
My responsibility is to help you understand those options honestly so you can make the decision that's right for you.
I've always believed that if I recommend treatment, it should be because I genuinely think it gives you the best opportunity for improvement—not because it's the only treatment we offer.
Another Patient's Experience
Calder had struggled with lower back pain for years and had already seen six different doctors while trying to avoid surgery.
"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."
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA
While every patient's situation is different, Calder's story highlights something we strongly believe:
Before making a life-changing decision like back surgery, it's worth understanding all of your appropriate treatment options.

Not Everyone Is a Candidate
One of the things we're most proud of isn't the number of patients who begin treatment.
It's our willingness to tell patients when we don't believe spinal decompression is the right choice.
One patient shared this after visiting our office:
"Very nice Dr. and Honest! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in their back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case, as I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around."
— Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA
Healthcare isn't about convincing everyone to become a patient.
It's about helping people make informed decisions.
If we believe another treatment would better serve you, we'll tell you.
