Herniated Disc Pain Relief Without Drugs or Surgery San Diego, CA
Living with a herniated disc can feel like a never-ending battle. Radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, weakness, and daily discomfort can affect everything from your ability to work to how you sleep at night. Many patients are told that surgery or pain medications are their only options—but that’s simply not the case.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients find fast, effective, and lasting relief from herniated disc pain—without surgery, injections, or medications—through a highly specialized and proven approach called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).
💡 How Herniated Discs Cause Pain
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc (nucleus pulposus) bulges or ruptures through the tough outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This often compresses nearby spinal nerves, triggering pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. While medications may dull the pain, and injections may temporarily reduce inflammation, they don’t correct the root problem: disc compression.
✅ Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well
Unlike other treatments that focus only on masking symptoms, NSSD is designed to correct the mechanical root causeof the herniated disc. By precisely and gently decompressing the spine, pressure is relieved from the affected disc and nerve.
How NSSD Works:
- Creates negative intradiscal pressure, which helps retract the herniated disc material
- Improves circulation to the disc for natural healing
- Relieves nerve compression, which reduces radiating pain, numbness, and weakness
- Is non-invasive, drug-free, and has no downtime
🔬 Why We Use the DRX9000—And Nothing Else
Not all spinal decompression systems are created equal. At our clinic, we only use the DRX9000, considered the gold standard in decompression technology. It is the most researched, reliable, and effective system, with studies supporting its success published by:
- Stanford University
- Johns Hopkins University
- Duke Medical Center
- Mayo Clinic
The DRX9000 allows for precise control of angle, depth, duration, and resistance—giving us the ability to customize decompression for each individual disc level and patient.
🌟 Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC Is Trusted By Thousands
With over 65,000 decompression sessions performed, Dr. Boelk is one of the most experienced spinal decompression doctors in the country. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, he has spent over two decades helping patients avoid surgery by correcting the true source of pain.
His approach is built on a simple philosophy:
“Treat the cause, not just the symptoms—and only accept cases where we believe we can truly help.”
That’s why every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including:
- In-depth medical history
- Neurological and orthopedic examination
- Digital weight-bearing spinal x-rays
- MRI review if needed
Only patients who are a good fit are accepted into care—and this is a major reason for the clinic’s high success rate and strong referral network from MDs, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
🌎 Patients Drive and Fly In From Across the U.S. and Abroad
Due to the clinic’s reputation and results, patients regularly travel from across California, the U.S., and internationally—including from:
- Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and Alaska
- Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom
Many have tried multiple failed treatments elsewhere—including injections, PT, chiropractic, acupuncture, and even back surgery—before finally getting the lasting results they were searching for through NSSD at our clinic.
