Herniated Disc Treatment – Kearny Mesa, CA (Non-Surgical Options)

Living with a herniated disc can turn simple daily tasks into painful challenges. Sharp back or neck pain, burning or tingling down the legs, sciatica, numbness, or weakness can make sitting, walking, or sleeping difficult. Many people in Kearny Mesa are told that injections or surgery are their only options, yet most are never informed about a proven non-surgical approach that focuses on relieving the pressure at the source of the problem.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located right here in the Kearny Mesa area, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has dedicated nearly 21 years exclusively to helping patients recover from disc herniations using True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000. His focus is on reducing nerve irritation, restoring disc function, and helping patients regain the movement and comfort they once thought was out of reach.

Understanding Why Herniated Disc Pain Can Be So Intense

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of the disc pushes outward and irritates a nearby spinal nerve. That irritation can trigger symptoms such as:

• Sciatica or leg pain

• Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands

• Sharp back or neck pain

• Muscle weakness

• Difficulty sitting or standing

• Sleep disruption

When that nerve pressure persists, the pain often becomes chronic. Relief begins with decompressing the affected disc and allowing healing mechanisms to re-engage.

A Patient Story That Reflects the Experience of Many in Kearny Mesa

“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!”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA

Summary: Anthony suffered repeated disc problems even after surgery. Through decompression, he returned to normal daily activity without the crippling nerve pain.

How True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Helps Herniated Discs Heal

The DRX9000 is designed to gently and precisely lower pressure inside the disc space. This can help retract herniated disc material, restore hydration, and relieve nerve irritation. Patients often describe this treatment as relaxing and effective, especially when nothing else has helped.

This is not traction, stretching, or an inversion table. The DRX9000 uses advanced engineering and targeted disc-level decompression that has been researched through institutions such as Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Boelk has performed over 100,000 decompression treatments and trains doctors nationwide through the Spinal Decompression Training Academy. Patients in Kearny Mesa benefit from the same protocols, attention to detail, and individualized care he is known for across the U.S. and internationally.

A Real-World Example of What Recovery Can Look Like

“I was having pain radiating down my legs — I couldn’t sleep or walk normally.
After treatment, I’m back to shoveling snow, teaching, walking… I can live again.
It was absolutely worth traveling from Alaska to see Dr. Boelk and his team!”
— Lynn C., Alaska

Summary: Lynn regained full movement and daily function after experiencing severe radiating nerve pain.

Disc Pain Often Affects More Than Just the Back

A herniated disc can influence posture, sleep, energy levels, activity levels, and overall quality of life. Many patients report that they stop exercising, become anxious about movement, or lose confidence in their body’s ability to function normally.

That’s why Dr. Boelk provides more than decompression alone. By incorporating corrective mobility and stability strategies, his goal is not only to relieve pain but also to prevent the problem from returning.

Another Testimonial From a Patient Who Felt “Out of Options”

“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.”
— Abel T., San Diego, CA

Summary: Abel found relief from disabling sciatica, regained strength, and improved his quality of life after long-term pain.
