How Can I Fix My Chronic Low Back Pain? – Kearny Mesa, CA

If you're living in Kearny Mesa and struggling with chronic low back pain, you're not alone. One of the most common questions we get at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego is:

“How can I finally fix my chronic low back pain without drugs or surgery?”

The truth is, there’s almost never a single cause—or a one-size-fits-all solution. In nearly every case we’ve treated over the past 20 years, chronic low back pain stems from a combination of several key issues:

✅ What Causes Chronic Low Back Pain?

Here are the most common underlying factors:

1. Abnormal Spinal Biomechanics
   Your spine may not be moving as it should—certain segments could be stiff while others move too much. This leads to excessive pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, and supporting tissues.

2. Spinal Disc Compression
   Most chronic low back pain patients have ongoing compression on one or more spinal discs. This can cause disc bulges or herniations, which may compress nerves and create sharp, shooting, or burning pain down the legs.

3. Poor Posture & Muscle Recruitment
   Bad posture during daily life or workouts alters how your muscles fire and support your spine. Over time, this creates imbalances that overload the lower back.

4. Ineffective or Generic Exercise Programs
   Some patients come to us after doing exercises that actually made things worse. That’s because generic stretches or core routines don’t address your unique condition. In fact, flexibility alone isn’t the answer—what you really need is the right balance of flexibility and stability.

⚠️ Why Most Treatments Fall Short

Many treatments focus only on symptoms—massage, medications, injections, and even surgery. While they might offer short-term relief, they often miss the root of the problem.

That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in. We use the FDA-cleared DRX9000 machines, which have been backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic. These treatments help gently and precisely reduce pressure on the discs and nerves that are often at the core of chronic low back issues.

However—and this is important—NSSD is just a tool.

Even though we’ve helped thousands of patients with this therapy, long-term relief comes when decompression is used correctly, customized specifically, and combined with the right active therapy to correct posture, muscle imbalances, and movement faults.
