How to Find the Best Spinal Decompression Clinic in Kearny Mesa, CA

If you're suffering from chronic back or neck pain caused by a disc issue, choosing the right spinal decompression clinic in Kearny Mesa is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The truth is, not all Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is the same. There are major differences in equipment, protocols, and most importantly, the doctor’s expertise.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from the heart of Kearny Mesa, we specialize in helping patients get fast, lasting relief without surgery, injections, or endless medications. Here's exactly what you need to know to make the best choice for your recovery.

Why Not All Spinal Decompression is Created Equal

While many offices claim to offer decompression, most do not specialize in it, and many are using basic traction or outdated equipment that cannot deliver true spinal decompression. But even equipment is only part of the equation.

The most important factors?

• The equipment used

• The protocols behind it

• The expertise of the doctor performing it

• And whether your treatment includes a full recovery plan—not just passive therapy

What to Look For in a Spinal Decompression Clinic

✅ 1. True Specialization

Many offices offer decompression as one of 20+ services. At our center, spinal decompression is our specialty. We perform 40–50 spinal decompression treatments every day and have completed over 65,000 sessions over the last 20+ years. Our protocols are highly refined and consistently deliver excellent results.

✅ 2. The Right Equipment

We exclusively use the DRX9000 system, the most advanced and research-supported spinal decompression technology available today. It’s been studied by institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic and is FDA-cleared for safe, effective disc decompression. We have 7 DRX9000 machines, including 3 for the cervical spine and 4 for the lumbar spine.

✅ 3. Customized Protocols

Every spinal decompression treatment must be tailored specifically to the patient's spinal condition, weight, height, disc location, and spinal curvature. Many clinics use the same generic settings for every patient. At our office, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC—a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor—personally designs and oversees each treatment plan, adjusting as needed for maximum comfort and results.

✅ 4. Passive Therapy Alone Won’t Fix the Problem

Spinal decompression is an incredibly powerful passive therapy, but it is only part of the solution. If your pain is caused by a disc injury, simply decompressing the spine won’t rebuild muscle strength, address postural faults, or correct movement dysfunctions.

That’s why we combine NSSD with customized active rehabilitation focused on:

• Core stabilization

• Spinal mobility

• Postural correction

• Functional strength

This full-body approach is essential to long-term relief and is one of the key differences that sets our clinic apart.

✅ 5. Real Credentials. Real Experience.

• Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist
