How Can I Heal My Disc Herniation Without Surgery? Kearny Mesa, CA

If you've been diagnosed with a disc herniation, you're probably wondering: Can this get better without surgery? The answer—often—is yes. But healing depends on the size of the herniation, how long it's been there, and how your body is responding over time.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients recover naturally—without surgery, injections, or endless medications. Many of these patients had already tried other treatments without success and were told surgery was their only option.

💡 What Is a Disc Herniation?

Discs are the soft, gel-like cushions between the vertebrae in your spine. When the inner material pushes out through the outer layer, it can compress nearby nerves, causing:

• Sciatica

• Numbness or tingling

• Weakness in your limbs

• Sharp, shooting, or burning pain

⏳ Can a Herniated Disc Heal Naturally?

Yes—if the herniation is small and symptoms begin improving within 3–6 weeks, your body may resolve the issue on its own. However, many people find their symptoms persist or return over time, especially without proper treatment.

If your pain has lasted longer than six weeks, is worsening, or is limiting your function, your body likely needs help to fully heal—and avoid becoming a long-term issue.

❗Why Most People Need Targeted Treatment

Spinal discs don’t have a rich blood supply. They depend on movement and decompression to receive nutrients and remove inflammation. Without this, healing is limited, and many people fall into a cycle of temporary relief and recurring pain.

Delaying proper care can lead to:

• Chronic pain

• Nerve damage

• Muscle weakness

• Increased likelihood of surgery

✅ Dr. Boelk’s Targeted, Proven Approach

At our Kearny Mesa clinic, Dr. Boelk utilizes a specific protocol built around True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and active rehabilitation—addressing both the cause and the supporting structures.

🌀 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)

• We use only the DRX9000, the most advanced and researched system available (studied at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical).

• It gently reduces pressure inside the disc, allowing the herniation to retract and inflammation to decrease.

• Settings are customized to each patient, based on body type, condition, and response—this is not a one-size-fits-all therapy.

🏋️ Active Rehab & Stability Work

• Core and hip stabilization

• Mobility and posture correction

• Muscle balance training

This combination supports long-term results and helps prevent re-injury.

🧠 Why Patients Choose Dr. Boelk

• Over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments performed

• Trains other doctors across the U.S. in his protocols

• Patients fly in from Mexico, Spain, UK, and across the country

• Known for helping patients avoid surgery after failed therapy, injections—even previous back surgeries

🔥 Real Patient Results

“I came in with severe pain, defeated, almost crying, and unable to hold up a bottle of water or lift a barbell. Now I’m able to do that and so much more.”
“My first few sessions didn’t go as expected, and I left a review out of frustration. To my surprise, Dr. Cassidy personally emailed me with a sincere apology and options to make it right.

I returned, skeptical, but he and his team treated me with full professionalism. I finished my 12 sessions, started working out again, and returned for one more session when I felt a 9/10 flare-up. After one visit, the pain was gone. It’s been weeks, and I haven’t had to take Tylenol since.
This care has been life-changing. Dr. Boelk and the staff truly care. Please give this clinic a chance.”
— Julianne E., San Diego, CA

“I walked into his office unable to sit down to do my job. Within a couple of weeks, I was able to sit, walk, and function again.”
“Dr. Boelk’s empathy and attention are unmatched. He’s lived through back pain himself, which makes him extremely understanding. He makes every patient feel like they’re his only one, even when the clinic is busy.
I was at a low point, and now I feel like I’ve been given my life back. He is, hands down, the best at spinal decompression.”
— Erin T., San Diego, CA

“Dr. Boelk gave me hope when I thought surgery was my only option.”
“After a serious motocross accident, I was being pressured into neck surgery. A friend referred me to Dr. Boelk.

He reviewed my MRI in detail, gave me honest feedback, and didn’t charge me—even though he couldn’t treat me until my fracture healed. He also recommended I get a second opinion. That level of integrity is rare in healthcare. I’ll definitely be back.”
— Jan H., San Diego, CA
