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!”

What Is a Herniated Disc?
Your spinal discs act as cushions between the bones of your spine.
When a disc becomes damaged:
- The inner portion can push outward
- This can place pressure on a nearby nerve
👉 That pressure is what causes pain, numbness, or tingling.
Why Disc Injuries Often Don’t Heal Quickly
Disc injuries behave differently than muscle injuries.
- Discs have limited blood supply
- They are under constant mechanical load
- They don’t heal as quickly as soft tissue
👉 This is why symptoms often:
- Persist
- Fluctuate
- Or keep coming back
What Research Shows
Clinical studies on non-surgical spinal decompression have shown:
- Reduction in pain levels
- Improvement in mobility and function
- Measurable changes in disc height on imaging
👉 The key concept:
Reducing pressure inside the disc can directly affect symptoms
Why Many Treatments Only Help Temporarily
Most people try:
- Stretching
- Adjustments
- Physical therapy
- Medication
These can help temporarily…
👉 But may not change the internal pressure of the disc
That’s why symptoms often:
- Improve
- Then return
A Simple Position to Try at Home
Prone Relaxation Position
- Lie face down
- Rest your forehead on your hands
- Let your hips fully relax
Progression
- Chin on fists
- Then onto forearms
👉 If symptoms worsen, stop immediately
One Non-Surgical Approach (When Appropriate)
For the right candidates, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 is designed to:
- Reduce pressure inside the disc
- Relieve stress on the nerve
- Improve fluid exchange within the disc
👉 The most important factor is determining if you are a candidate.
⭐ Real Patient Experiences
Amanda, San Diego, CA
“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.
Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 hard which requires not one but 2 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!
I’m so thankful I found this place… It’s made such a difference in my life.”

Lisa S., United Kingdom
“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment…”
