Herniated Disc Treatment Clinics, La Jolla, CA – Lasting Relief Without Surgery

A herniated disc can cause severe pain, numbness, and weakness, making even simple daily activities difficult. If you’re searching for effective, non-surgical relief near La Jolla, CA, you need a treatment that targets the root cause—not just temporary symptom relief.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, conveniently located near La Jolla, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC provides Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX 9000, the most advanced technology available for herniated discs. Combining spinal decompression, active therapy, movement training, and stability protocols, our approach helps patients achieve long-term relief and avoid surgery.

What Causes a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc happens when the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often pressing against nerves and causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs.

Common Causes of Disc Herniation:

✔ Poor posture & repetitive movements (sitting too long, improper lifting, excessive bending/twisting)
✔ Spinal misalignment & instability (weak core, tight hips, muscle imbalances)
✔ Natural aging & degeneration (discs lose hydration and elasticity over time)
✔ Sudden trauma or injury (car accidents, sports injuries, falls)

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well

Most treatments only mask the pain without addressing the root cause. NSSD with the DRX 9000 spinal decompression system is different—it actually corrects spinal disc compression by:

✅ Gently creating negative pressure inside the disc, pulling the herniated portion back into place
✅ Restoring hydration & nutrients to the disc for natural healing
✅ Relieving pressure on spinal nerves, reducing pain, numbness, and weakness

Unlike surgery, injections, or pain medications, NSSD is non-invasive, comfortable, and highly effective. It allows patients to heal naturally and avoid surgery.

Why the DRX 9000 Is the Gold Standard—But It’s Just a Tool

Not all spinal decompression is the same. Many clinics use outdated or lower-quality machines, which fail to provide precise, effective decompression.

✔ The DRX 9000 is the most advanced, FDA-cleared decompression system, backed by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.
✔ It provides targeted decompression at the exact spinal level needed, unlike older machines that apply generalized traction.
✔ However, the machine is just a tool—its effectiveness depends on the doctor operating it.

This is where Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC’s expertise makes the difference. With over 20 years of experience and 50,000+ spinal decompression treatments performed, he knows how to customize settings, protocols, and additional therapies to ensure optimal results.

✅ Heat & Cold Therapy: Use a heating pad for 15-20 minutes to relax muscles, or an ice pack to reduce inflammation.
✅ Proper Lifting Techniques: Lift with your legs, not your back—avoid twisting movements.
✅ Gentle Mobility Exercises: Pelvic tilts, cat-cow stretches, and core stabilization exercises help maintain spinal health.
✅ Ergonomic Support: Use a lumbar roll or ergonomic chair to maintain proper posture while sitting.
