How to Decompress Your Spine Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA
If you live in Kearny Mesa and you’ve been told you have a bulging disc, herniated disc, degenerative disc changes, or sciatica, you may feel like your only options are injections or surgery.
That’s not always the case.
Many disc-related conditions are caused by pressure.
When disc pressure increases, nerves become irritated.
When pressure is reduced properly, symptoms often improve.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located right here in Kearny Mesa, we specialize in true Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 system — a research-supported technology designed to reduce disc pressure safely and precisely.
What Does It Mean to “Decompress” the Spine?
Spinal decompression is not general traction.
It is not inversion therapy.
It is not a simple stretch.
True decompression uses computerized technology to create a controlled negative pressure inside the disc.
That negative pressure helps:
• Reduce disc bulges and protrusions
• Improve nutrient and oxygen flow
• Decrease nerve compression
• Lower inflammation
• Support disc rehydration
When applied with proper protocols, it targets the mechanical cause of many chronic spine conditions.
Why Many People in Kearny Mesa Want to Avoid Surgery
Surgery removes tissue.
Decompression focuses on relieving pressure first.
If the primary issue is disc compression, reducing that pressure can often significantly improve symptoms without invasive procedures.
The key is determining whether you are a candidate.
Not every patient qualifies.
That’s why a thorough evaluation is essential before beginning care.

Every decompression protocol is customized based on:
• Disc level involvement
• Degree of protrusion
• Nerve compression patterns
• Spondylolisthesis presence
• Modic changes
• Patient body mechanics
Decompression is always combined with active rehabilitation.

Real Patient Experiences
“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!”
— Toni H., San Diego, CA
“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!”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA
“I was having pain radiating down my legs — I couldn’t sleep or walk normally. After treatment, I’m back to shoveling snow, teaching, walking… I can live again. It was absolutely worth traveling from Alaska to see Dr. Boelk and his team!”
— Lynn C., Alaska
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep… After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone… I did a total of 24 sessions… I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”
— Abel T., San Diego, CA
