Herniated Disc Relief Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA
If you’ve been searching online for phrases like “how to fix a herniated disc in my lower back,” “Kearny Mesa herniated-disc specialist,” or “sciatica relief without surgery,” this article will help you understand what’s really going on—and what can finally stop the pain.
I’m Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, I’ve helped thousands of patients overcome disc injuries and nerve compression through a proven, non-surgical approach.
Why Discs Herniate and Why They Hurt
Spinal discs act like hydraulic cushions between each vertebra. They rely on a balance of internal fluid pressure—called hydrostatic pressure—to absorb stress and keep the spine flexible.
When your spine moves properly, it compresses and decompresses in rhythm, a motion known as spinal imbibition. This “pumping” action allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to flow into the discs so they can stay healthy.
Over time, however, things like poor posture, prolonged sitting, injuries, or repetitive strain can interrupt that pumping motion.
The result:
-
Loss of fluid and elasticity inside the disc
-
Weakening of the disc wall
-
Bulging or herniation that presses on nearby spinal nerves
That pressure on the nerve root is what creates radiating pain, numbness, or weakness down your leg or arm.
Why Typical Treatments Often Fall Short
Most people try medications, injections, or even surgery to silence the pain—but these options rarely restore the disc’s natural motion or hydration. They mask symptoms instead of correcting the root problem.
To truly heal a disc, you must restore proper movement, relieve internal pressure, and allow the disc to re-oxygenate and re-hydrate.
That’s exactly what Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) does.
The Power of True Decompression With the DRX9000
Our clinic in Kearny Mesa uses only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System—the gold standard in decompression therapy.
The DRX9000 is not a simple traction device; it’s a computer-controlled system designed to precisely relieve pressure inside the disc. It’s also the most scientifically studied and medically respected decompression system in existence—with supporting research from:
-
Stanford University
-
Johns Hopkins University
-
Mayo Clinic
-
Duke Medical Center
Each treatment creates a gentle, measured “unloading” of the spine that:
-
Draws herniated or bulging material back toward the disc center
-
Reduces nerve compression and inflammation
-
Restores nutrient exchange within the disc
-
Promotes long-term healing, not temporary relief
Dr. Boelk has personally performed more than 75,000 decompression sessions using this technology.
What Our Patients Say
Michael Langsdale
“I’ve been to other places with sub-par machines and got no benefit. After 12 sessions here, my sciatica is gone and I’m sleeping pain-free for the first time in months. Even after the first session I felt tremendous relief. Definitely worth the investment!”
Brian Perrotta
“I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc. The treatments were highly effective and completely changed my quality of life. The care is personalized, the staff is caring, and Dr. Boelk truly knows what he’s doing.”
Amanda
“I was scheduled for injections and possible surgery after an MRI showed an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve. Then I found Dr. Boelk. I never needed those appointments. Now I’m back to working out twice a day and living pain-free. I thank God for leading me here.”
