How to Heal a Bulging Disc Naturally, Kearny Mesa, CA

If you're dealing with chronic lower back pain, sciatica, or leg numbness in Kearny Mesa, CA, there's a good chance it's coming from a bulging disc—a condition that affects thousands of adults in San Diego every year. While injections, pain medications, or even surgery are often recommended, there's a highly effective, natural option that doesn’t involve drugs or invasive procedures.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from the heart of Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients find lasting relief from bulging discs using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

📌 What Causes a Bulging Disc?

A bulging disc occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc weakens and begins to push outward. This often results in nerve compression, leading to:

• Low back or neck pain

• Pain that travels into the legs or arms

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness

• Difficulty sitting, standing, or walking

Common causes include poor posture, repetitive strain, lifting injuries, aging, or prior trauma.

✅ How to Heal a Bulging Disc Naturally

To heal a bulging disc naturally, you need to relieve the pressure inside the disc and reduce irritation to the nerves. Stretching or massage may provide short-term relief, but they rarely correct the underlying problem.

That’s why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is so effective.

🔬 How NSSD Works – Backed by Research

At Dr. Boelk’s office near Kearny Mesa, patients receive NSSD using only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, the most advanced decompression table available today.

During treatment:

• The spine is gently and precisely stretched

• Negative pressure is created inside the disc

• Bulging or herniated disc material can retract

• Nutrients and oxygen re-enter the disc to help it heal

This relieves pressure on nerves, reduces inflammation, and allows the disc to restore proper function—all without surgery or drugs.

The DRX9000 is supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Boelk has seven DRX9000 machines in his clinic—the largest known in California.

🧩 Why Active and Passive Therapy Both Matter

To truly heal a bulging disc and prevent it from returning, Dr. Boelk integrates:

• Passive care: Spinal decompression, electrical stimulation, soft tissue therapy

• Active care: Core stability exercises, hip and spine mobility, posture correction

This combination ensures long-term results by not only relieving pressure—but also improving strength, balance, and movement patterns.
