Herniated Disc Pain Relief – Kearny Mesa, CA

Herniated Disc Pain Relief – Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’re searching for “herniated disc pain relief in Kearny Mesa”, you’re likely dealing with pain that is interfering with your ability to work, sleep, exercise, or simply get through the day.

A herniated disc can cause:

• Sharp lower back pain
• Sciatica shooting down the leg
• Numbness or tingling in the foot
• Weakness in the leg
• Neck pain radiating into the shoulder
• Tingling into the fingers

Many patients are told injections or surgery are their next options.

But in many cases, surgery is not the first step when the disc is treated correctly and early.

The key is reducing disc pressure and stabilizing the spine before the condition progresses.


Why Herniated Discs Cause So Much Pain

A herniated disc occurs when the inner gel pushes outward and irritates nearby nerves.

The pain is not just from the bulge itself.

It comes from:

• Mechanical pressure on the nerve
• Chemical inflammation
• Loss of disc height
• Instability in surrounding muscles

If the pressure remains, the nerve continues to fire pain signals.

Stretching alone does not fix that.
Medication does not fix that.
Rest alone does not fix that.

The disc pressure must be reduced properly.


How We Provide Herniated Disc Pain Relief Near Kearny Mesa

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located minutes from Kearny Mesa, we specialize in True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 system.

This is not traditional traction.

The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared and computer-controlled to:

• Target specific disc levels
• Create measurable negative intradiscal pressure
• Reduce nerve compression
• Promote disc rehydration
• Improve circulation to injured tissues

Unlike basic traction, it is designed to decompress the injured disc precisely.

Dr. Cassidy Boelk has performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments and operates 7 DRX9000 machines in one clinic, making this the largest known spinal decompression provider in California.

This is not an add-on service.

It is the primary focus of the practice.


Why Custom Protocols Matter

Every herniated disc is different.

Treatment settings are customized based on:

• Disc level involved
• Size of herniation
• Nerve involvement
• MRI findings
• Spinal stability
• Postural mechanics

Not everyone qualifies.

That is why every patient begins with a no-charge consultation to determine candidacy.

Proper patient selection is critical for success.


Real Herniated Disc Success Stories

Toni H., San Diego, CA

“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”

Summary:
After nearly a decade of failed treatments and being close to surgery, Toni achieved full relief through structured decompression care.


Anthony K., San Diego, CA

“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again. What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”

Summary:
Even after prior surgery and recurrence of disc pain, Anthony regained normal function through customized decompression treatment.


Abel T., San Diego, CA

“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident. I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core. The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond. Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well. The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

Summary:
Rapid sciatic relief followed by structured rehabilitation addressed both pain and the root biomechanical instability contributing to his condition.


Why Early Intervention Matters

The longer a herniated disc remains compressed:

• The more inflamed the nerve becomes
• The more compensation patterns develop
• The more difficult correction can become

Early intervention significantly improves the likelihood of avoiding injections and surgery.

Patients travel from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Spain seeking this level of expertise.
