How Do I Pick a Spinal Decompression Clinic in San Diego, CA?

If you’re in pain and considering spinal decompression, choosing the right clinic could be one of the most important decisions you make for your health.

A recent patient here at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego asked a great question. He’s visiting from out of town and receiving care with us using the DRX9000 and our full-body approach. He found a decompression clinic in his hometown and wanted to know:

“Should I continue care there when I return home?”

My answer?

Not in this case — and here’s why:

The clinic treats almost every patient the same way.

They recommend long, drawn-out treatment plans that span several months — regardless of condition or progress.

There’s no mention of customized protocols, specific DRX9000 settings, or integration of active therapies.

It’s purely passive care — which often leads to short-term relief and long-term frustration.

What You Should Look For in a Decompression Clinic:

✅ Personalized Protocols – No two patients are the same. Your spinal decompression settings should be based on your body’s needs, MRI findings, mobility limitations, and pain levels.

✅ Active Rehab Integration – Laying on a decompression table isn’t enough. Long-term results come from combining the DRX9000 with mobility drills, stability exercises, and postural retraining — all of which we walk you through step by step.

✅ Real Experience – You want a clinic that doesn’t just own decompression machines — you want one that knows how to use them correctly and effectively. This means working with a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor who understands the nuances of decompression protocols and spinal biomechanics.

✅ Transparent Care – Some cases may require a few weeks of care. Others might need longer. But no one should be locked into a rigid, generic treatment plan. Each patient’s timeline should be unique to their condition, response, and goals.

Why Dr. Boelk’s Clinic Is Different

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, every treatment plan is designed with the individual in mind.

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist with over 20 years of experience helping patients avoid back surgery. He has personally performed over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

Many patients fly in from other states and countries — including Mexico, Spain, and the UK — to receive this level of care.

“Lasting results don’t come from doing the same thing for everyone — they come from evaluating the entire picture and delivering the right care at the right time, using the right tools.”
