Degenerative Disc Disease Relief in Kearny Mesa, CA – Without Surgery

Degenerative Disc Disease Relief in Kearny Mesa, CA – Without Surgery

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a major contributor to chronic neck and low back pain. Despite its name, DDD is not a disease but a condition where the spinal discs gradually lose hydration and structural integrity, causing pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation.

In Kearny Mesa and surrounding San Diego communities, we've helped many patients manage this condition effectively without injections or surgery. Instead, we use a proven combination of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and targeted active therapy.

🔎 What Is DDD and Why Does It Hurt?

Spinal discs are the cushions between your vertebrae. As they lose height and hydration over time, they may bulge, herniate, or collapse, leading to nerve compression and inflammation. This can cause:

Whether you're dealing with DDD in your neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine), these symptoms can make daily life difficult.

🔧 Why We Use the DRX9000 and Combine It With Active Rehab

Our Kearny Mesa clinic uses the DRX9000 system exclusively—a medically-researched spinal decompression machine proven to reduce disc pressure and stimulate rehydration. It's the same system studied by leading institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and the Mayo Clinic.

Once we decompress and relieve pressure on your spinal discs and nerves, we follow up with custom stability exercises, spinal mobility drills, and neuromuscular re-education to make sure your improvements last.
