How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Works for Severe Back Pain – San Diego, CA
Severe back pain affects everything — your ability to work, sleep, move, and enjoy life. When the pain comes from a bulging disc, herniated disc, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or nerve compression, most people in San Diego quickly discover that traditional treatments only provide temporary relief.
Painkillers mask symptoms.
Injections wear off.
Physical therapy often helps but doesn’t fix the pressure problem.
Chiropractic adjustments may provide short-term relief but can’t decompress a damaged disc.
That’s why so many people turn to the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression system — a proven, researched technology specifically designed to gently reduce pressure inside injured discs and help them heal naturally.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, I specialize exclusively in this technology. As Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, I have performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments over nearly 21 years, using the DRX9000 to help people avoid spinal injections and surgery.
We currently operate seven DRX9000 machines, making our center the largest known spinal decompression clinic in California and one of the busiest decompression facilities in the country.
Why the DRX9000 Is So Effective for Disc Injuries
The DRX9000 is not traction. It is not inversion. It is not a generic decompression machine.
Its patented algorithm gently creates negative pressure inside targeted discs, allowing bulges and herniations to retract away from sensitive nerves — the root cause of most severe back pain and sciatica.
With the DRX9000’s precision technology, we can:
-
Target specific discs based on MRI findings
-
Reduce intradiscal pressure
-
Improve nutrient hydration to the disc
-
Restore space around compressed nerves
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Help stabilize and heal the injured area
Most patients begin to feel improvement within their first several sessions.
⭐ Real Patient Success Stories From San Diego
(Full testimonials included exactly as written)
Testimonial #1 – Anthony K., San Diego, CA
FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”
Why this matters:
Anthony’s story is incredibly common — post-surgical patients still suffering because the underlying disc pressure was never corrected. DRX9000 decompression addresses the actual cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.
Testimonial #2 – Amanda, San Diego, CA
FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.
Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 hard which requires not one but 2 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!
I’m so thankful I found this place. It’s conveniently located near my work, which makes it easy to fit sessions into my lunch break. Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite—it’s always a pleasure to come in.
The environment is so relaxing that I look forward to each visit. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”
Why this matters:
Amanda’s case involved an extruded disc — one of the most painful and debilitating disc injuries. With DRX9000 decompression, she avoided both injections and surgery and returned to full activity.
Testimonial #3 – Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with sub par machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!”
Why this matters:
Many clinics use low-quality equipment that cannot perform true decompression. Michael’s experience confirms why the DRX9000 remains the gold standard worldwide.
Testimonial #4 – Jayson Yavorsky, San Diego, CA
FULL TESTIMONIAL:
“There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family… He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair. I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!”
Why this matters:
Jayson’s recovery represents exactly why patients refer their family, friends, and coworkers — lasting results, real relief, and avoidance of unnecessary surgery.
