Non-Surgical Solutions from The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego

 

If you’ve been struggling with neck or low back pain and were told you have “Degenerative Disc Disease,” you’re not alone—and there’s good news. Many people living in Kearny Mesa and the surrounding San Diego area have found fast, lasting relief without surgery, injections, or endless medication.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from the heart of Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, offers a proven, natural approach using advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and targeted rehab to help you finally get your life back.

 

What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Despite the name, Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) isn’t a disease—it’s a condition where the discs between your spinal vertebrae begin to dry out, lose height, and weaken. This can lead to:

• Chronic low back or neck pain
• Pain that radiates into the arms or legs
• Tingling, numbness, or weakness
• Trouble sitting, walking, or standing for long periods

Discs act like cushions between the bones of the spine. As they wear down, the spine becomes less stable, nerves can become compressed, and inflammation increases—often resulting in daily pain and stiffness.

 

How Does DDD Happen?

DDD can develop from natural aging, but more often it’s accelerated by:

• Poor posture and ergonomics
• Repetitive stress from work or sports
• Lack of movement and weak core muscles
• Injuries or trauma to the spine
• Years of spinal compression without proper care

Over time, the spine begins to “break down” under pressure, and the discs are the first to show signs. Left untreated, this can severely limit your ability to live actively and pain-free.

 

What You Can Do at Home to Help DDD

If you're dealing with DDD symptoms, there are several things you can start doing today to reduce pain and promote healing:

✅ Gentle Stretching & Mobility Work – Target your hips, lower back, and thoracic spine daily to relieve pressure and improve circulation.
✅ Postural Correction – Use lumbar support when sitting, avoid slouching, and adjust your workstation to promote neutral alignment.
✅ Anti-Inflammatory Habits – Hydrate often, reduce processed foods and sugars, and aim to move every hour.
✅ Core & Hip Strengthening – Focus on stability exercises like glute bridges, bird dogs, and side planks to offload your spine.

These habits help prevent further degeneration and support your spine’s structure. But for more advanced cases, professional care is key.

 

What You Should Avoid

Some of the most common everyday habits can make DDD worse, including:

🚫 High-impact exercise (running, jumping, twisting)
🚫 Prolonged sitting without breaks
🚫 Heavy lifting with poor technique
🚫 Ignoring early signs of pain
🚫 Masking symptoms with medication without addressing the cause

These all increase the load on your spine and can accelerate the breakdown of the discs and nerves.

 

Why NSSD & Active Therapy Are So Effective for DDD

At our Kearny Mesa-area clinic, Dr. Boelk offers a specialized, research-backed treatment called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system—the most advanced and accurate decompression machine available today.

Unlike generic traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 precisely targets the exact disc levels that are degenerated or bulging. It gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure inside the disc, allowing fluid, oxygen, and nutrients to flow back in. 

 

This helps:

• Rehydrate damaged discs
• Reduce nerve pressure
• Decrease pain and inflammation
• Promote real healing—not just symptom relief

 

Once decompression reduces disc pressure and pain, we immediately begin custom active therapy, including mobility work, postural correction, and stabilization exercises designed for long-term success.
