How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Works for Severe Back Pain – La Jolla, CA

For many people in La Jolla, back pain becomes a daily battle — the stiffness in the morning, the sharp pain when standing up, the shooting nerve pain down the leg, or the inability to sit comfortably during work or travel. When the pain comes from a damaged spinal disc, the symptoms rarely improve on their own.

This is because the underlying problem is mechanical:
pressure inside the disc is compressing a nerve.

Painkillers can’t fix it.
Injections may control symptoms temporarily.
Stretching and physical therapy may help mobility but cannot reduce disc pressure.
And surgery — while sometimes necessary — often comes with long recovery times and significant risks.

The good news is that a proven, FDA-cleared, non-surgical solution exists: the DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression system.

I’m Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC. For nearly 21 years, I have specialized exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, performing over 100,000 treatments using the DRX9000. Our clinic operates seven DRX9000 machines — the largest known spinal decompression center in the state of California — making it possible for patients from La Jolla and around the world to receive care without long wait times.

The DRX9000 is highly effective because it gently lowers pressure inside the disc, allowing herniations and bulges to retract away from irritated nerves. This often results in rapid relief of sciatica, back pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.

Below are real patient success stories — full-length, exactly as written — from individuals who came in with severe disc-related pain and found relief through DRX9000 decompression.

⭐ Real Patient Testimonial Results 

Testimonial #1 – Lisa S., United Kingdom

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“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.”

Why this matters:
Patients do not travel internationally unless they experience exceptional results. Lisa’s story shows the global reputation of the DRX9000 program and the level of trust patients place in this treatment.

Testimonial #2 – Abel T., San Diego, CA

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.
I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.
The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.
The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

Why this matters:
Abel’s recovery demonstrates the two-part system your clinic is known for: DRX9000 decompression to fix the underlying problem, followed by active rehabilitation to keep the spine stable and pain-free long term.

Testimonial #3 – Rosa Algravez, Age 58, Calexico, CA

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“Hi my name is Rosa Algravez. I have suffered from leg numbness and low back pain for 4 years. I haven’t been able to do groceries or even take baths without pain. I looked for relief with various doctors with no luck. I have done treatments ranging from chiropractic to acupuncture. My husband found Dr. Boelk in the newspaper and we decided since we had tried everything else that we were going to give this a try. After my first few treatments, I feel as though I have returned to 100%. Life for me is completely different.
My husband and I have returned to enjoying life. We travel 300+ miles everyday from Calexico. I can do things now with little to no limitations. The staff makes you feel welcomed and it’s a very family environment. The payments are easy and I would recommend this to anyone suffering with low back pain. Thank You”

Why this matters:
Rosa’s case illustrates why DRX9000 decompression is often successful when multiple other therapies fail. Her long travel distance reflects how important real solutions are to patients who have exhausted all other options.

Testimonial #4 – Ira Smith, Age 49, Las Vegas, Nevada

FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“My name is Ira Smith. I live in Las Vegas and found out about Dr. Boelk’s program here in San Diego and decided to start treatments with him. I’ve had lower back problems since I was very young. I had aggravated my lower back pretty bad again and usually I could do exercises, chiropractic treatment, rest and this time those things would no longer relieve my pain. I would get the sciatic pain shooting down into my leg and foot and would be pretty bad.
I found out thru my MRI’s that Dr. Boelk went over with me that I had 5 protruding discs. I did not want to get surgery as I have heard and seen that they don’t always work very well at all. I am 2/3 of the way done with Dr. Boelk’s program and I have zero pain. I pretty much go thru my activities with no pain. As I follow the program it has been absolutely fantastic! I have been thru physical therapy, chiropractic programs, I went to the hospital and they told me I have 1 bad disc, but I found out I had 4 more bad discs as well. The treatment has relieved the pain and is not painful at all. This can be the starting point for anyone with back pain to get their life back.
This is the place to start. If your skeptical, what’s your health worth? The cost of this has been way less than the cost of all my other therapies that I have gone thru. This is less money than all those things, less pain and gives you a great quality of life. This is new and modern and it fixes the problem. Use Dr. Boelk’s program to change your life and it will change your life! This is the place to start. -Thank You”

Why this matters:
Ira’s case involves five damaged discs — a level of severity where many doctors recommend surgery. Yet he found lasting relief without it, highlighting the DRX9000’s ability to help even advanced multi-disc cases.
