Failed Back Surgery Alternatives In Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’ve had back surgery and still experience pain, you’re not alone. Many patients are told surgery is their last hope—only to find their symptoms remain or worsen. This is often referred to as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), and in many cases, the root cause of the issue—disc compression—was never fully resolved.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, just minutes from central Kearny Mesa, we help many patients avoid further surgery by addressing the underlying problem. While not all patients are candidates, if you have not had metal hardware implanted, there’s a strong possibility we may be able to help.

🔍 Why Back Surgery Fails

Back surgery can remove part of a disc or fuse bones together, but it doesn't always restore disc function or spinal alignment. As a result, nerve compression, inflammation, and instability can persist. Worse, surrounding spinal levels may begin to degenerate faster due to altered biomechanics.

If there is no metal in your spine, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) may be a safe, highly effective option.

💡 What NSSD Does—and Why It Works

Our FDA-cleared DRX9000 machines gently and precisely stretch the spine, reducing disc pressure, increasing hydration, and creating a vacuum effect that helps bulging or herniated discs retract naturally. This therapy:

• Relieves pressure on nerves

• Improves disc hydration and healing

• Reduces inflammation and pain

• Supports long-term spinal health

Unlike surgery, NSSD is non-invasive, drug-free, and doesn’t require downtime.

🔑 Why Dr. Boelk and Our Clinic Are Different

Most decompression clinics use basic traction machines and generic protocols. We do the opposite:

• Use only DRX9000 spinal decompression systems, proven effective by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical

• Perform over 40–50 sessions per day with over 65,000 sessions delivered

• Personally customize every protocol based on your spinal condition, disc level, and biomechanics

• Combine passive decompression + active rehab therapy to ensure long-lasting results
