How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Works for Severe Back Pain – Kearny Mesa, CA

How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Works for Severe Back Pain – Kearny Mesa, CA

Living with chronic back pain in Kearny Mesa can quickly take over your life. Whether the pain shoots down your leg, keeps you from sleeping, or stops you from working, most people eventually reach a point where they’re told they need injections or surgery.

But for many, the problem isn’t a lack of treatment — it’s that the real cause of the pain hasn’t been addressed.

Disc injuries such as herniations, bulges, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica stem from pressure inside the disc. Medication doesn’t reduce that pressure. Injections don’t fix it. Traditional chiropractic often can’t create enough decompression to allow the disc to heal.

That’s where the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression system comes in.

I’m Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC. For nearly 21 years, I’ve specialized exclusively in spinal decompression and have performed over 100,000 DRX9000 treatments at our center here in Kearny Mesa — the largest known spinal decompression facility in California, with seven DRX9000 machines in one location.

The DRX9000 is widely regarded as the gold-standard technology for disc healing because it does something no other conservative treatment can: it gently reduces pressure inside the disc, helping it retract away from irritated nerves.

Testimonial #1 – Brian Perrotta, San Diego, CA

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

Brian’s case is one of the most common — a herniated disc causing severe sciatica. His rapid improvement demonstrates how targeted decompression restores mobility and function.


Testimonial #2 – Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“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, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”

Why this matters:
Kaitelyn's case shows how decompression plus active rehab leads to lasting relief — not just symptom reduction, but full return to daily life.


Testimonial #3 – Toni H., San Diego, CA

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”

Why this matters:
Toni’s story reflects the patient who has tried everything and is told surgery is the last option — until decompression finally treats the cause of the pain.

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk.
After treatment I am back to shoveling snow, teaching school, taking walks. So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”

Why this matters:
