Herniated Disc Treatment Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA
Advanced Non-Surgical Solutions for Disc & Sciatica Pain
If you live or work in Kearny Mesa and have recently been told you have a herniated or bulging disc, you are likely not casually researching options.
You are looking for treatment.
Most patients searching for “herniated disc treatment without surgery” are already experiencing:
• Persistent low back or neck pain
• Sciatica traveling into the leg
• Numbness or tingling
• Weakness with walking or standing
• Difficulty sitting, driving, or sleeping
• An MRI showing disc herniation
And many have already been told injections or surgery may be their next step.
For many patients, surgery is not the first solution that needs to be pursued.
When disc compression is addressed properly and precisely, the body often responds remarkably well.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, conveniently located near Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC focuses specifically on non-surgical treatment for disc injuries using advanced spinal decompression combined with structured rehabilitation.
Dr. Boelk is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist with nearly 20 years of experience. He has personally performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatmentsand operates 7 DRX9000 spinal decompression systems, making this one of the most specialized disc treatment offices in California.
Disc rehabilitation is not an add-on service here — it is the central focus of the practice.
Why Herniated Discs Continue to Cause Pain
A herniated disc is not simply inflammation or muscle tightness.
It is usually mechanical compression.
When a disc bulges or herniates, it can press on a nearby nerve root. That pressure:
• Restricts circulation
• Slows healing
• Irritates nerve tissue
• Causes radiating pain
If the compression remains, symptoms typically remain.
Pain medication may reduce inflammation temporarily. Injections may calm symptoms for a period of time. But if the disc remains compressed, the root cause is still present.
Lasting improvement requires reducing the pressure at the disc level.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Dr. Boelk uses Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System, an FDA-cleared, computer-guided system designed specifically for disc conditions.
Unlike basic traction or inversion devices, true decompression creates controlled negative pressure inside the disc itself.
This process helps:
• Reduce nerve compression
• Improve disc hydration
• Enhance nutrient exchange
• Encourage disc material to retract
• Support natural healing
As pressure decreases, many patients experience improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
Because decompression is passive, it is always paired with strengthening and stabilization work. Active rehabilitation supports the spine long-term and reduces the likelihood of recurrence.
Relief matters.
Stability ensures it lasts.
Real Patient Experiences
Michael Langsdale
“I had decompression done at another clinic before coming here and it didn’t help at all. The machine felt cheap and inconsistent. When I came to Dr. Boelk’s office, the DRX9000 felt completely different. After about 12 sessions I noticed a real change. My sciatica improved dramatically and I was finally able to get back to normal activity. This place is on another level.”
Summary: After unsuccessful treatment elsewhere, Michael improved significantly with proper DRX9000 treatment and returned to full function.
Anthony K., San Diego
“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!”
Summary: After previous surgery and severe recurrent sciatica, Anthony avoided another operation and returned to normal 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, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”
Summary: Lisa travels internationally because of the consistency and reliability of her results.
Do You Need an MRI?
Many patients already have imaging when they schedule.
You do not need one before coming in.
If you have imaging, bring it.
If not, Dr. Boelk performs a detailed examination first and determines whether imaging is necessary.
Not everyone qualifies for decompression treatment. If you are not a candidate, you will be told honestly.
What You Can Do at Home to Help
While waiting for evaluation, these strategies often reduce irritation:
• Stand or walk every 30–45 minutes
• Avoid prolonged sitting
• Use a pillow between knees while sleeping
• Gentle hip flexor and piriformis stretching
• Light core stabilization exercises (bird dogs, dead bugs)
• Ice during flare-ups
• Avoid heavy bending, twisting, and lifting
These do not eliminate disc compression, but they can reduce daily aggravation and help calm symptoms.
