Herniated Disc Treatments Without Surgery – San Diego, CA
A herniated disc can feel overwhelming—especially when it leads to constant pain, nerve irritation, and limits your ability to work, sleep, or stay active.
If you’ve been told surgery is your next step…
there may be another option.
👉 Many patients we see in San Diego are able to avoid surgery entirely.
🔍 What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of the disc pushes outward and begins to irritate or compress a nearby nerve.
This can lead to:
- Sciatica (pain down the leg)
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness
- Difficulty sitting or standing
The key issue:
👉 Pressure inside the disc and on the nerve
❌ Why Many Treatments Don’t Fully Work
Most patients have already tried:
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic care
- Pain medications
- Spinal injections
While these may help temporarily…
👉 They often don’t remove the pressure from the disc long enough for it to heal
That’s why symptoms keep coming back.
💡 How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression technology.
This is not generic traction.
It is a specific, computer-controlled treatment designed to:
- Gently reduce pressure within the disc
- Allow disc material to retract away from the nerve
- Improve nutrient exchange and healing
- Decrease nerve irritation
👉 When the pressure is reduced, the body finally has a chance to recover
🧠 Why Experience and Protocol Matter
Not all decompression is the same.
Results depend on:
- Proper patient selection
- Correct treatment settings
- Consistent protocol progression
- Integration of active therapy

- Has performed over 75,000 spinal decompression treatments

🗣️ Real Patient Results
“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs 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.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom
“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about… It’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”
— Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years… the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry… After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now… I’m able to go about my normal life again.”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA
⚠️ Not Everyone Is a Candidate
This is critical:
👉 Not all herniated disc cases qualify for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
We determine:
- If you are a candidate
- If we can accept your case
- What type of results you can expect
Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, regardless of referral source, to ensure proper evaluation time.
🧭 Why Many Patients Choose This First
Patients often come to us after being told:
- “You’ll need surgery”
- “Just manage the pain”
But once the disc pressure is properly addressed, many are able to:
- Avoid injections
- Avoid surgery
- Return to normal activity
