How to Heal a Bulging Disc Naturally – San Diego, CA
If you’ve been diagnosed with a bulging disc, you’ve likely been offered options like medications, spinal injections, or even surgery. But for many San Diego residents, there is a far more natural and highly effective solution—without drugs, injections, or going under the knife.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in helping patients heal bulging discs naturally using a proven, non-invasive system called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). His clinic has become a destination for people seeking real relief after other treatments have failed.
What Is a Bulging Disc—and Why Does It Happen?
Spinal discs sit between each of your vertebrae and act as shock absorbers. When a disc weakens—due to injury, repetitive strain, poor posture, or aging—it can begin to bulge outward, placing pressure on nearby nerves. This can lead to:
-
Lower back or neck pain
-
Sciatica or radiating pain down the leg or arm
-
Numbness, tingling, or weakness
-
Loss of mobility and daily function
Unlike a herniated disc, a bulging disc hasn’t ruptured yet—but the pressure and symptoms can still be severe.
How to Heal a Bulging Disc Naturally
To heal a bulging disc naturally, you must address the root cause: pressure inside the disc and compression on the surrounding nerves. Simply stretching or loosening tight muscles may provide short-term relief—but it won’t fix the disc.
That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works
NSSD gently and precisely stretches the spine using a specialized, computer-controlled table—reducing pressure inside the disc and allowing it to retract and rehydrate naturally. At Dr. Boelk’s clinic, only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 is used—the most advanced and research-supported system available.
Spinal decompression therapy:
-
Creates negative pressure inside the disc, drawing bulging material back inward
-
Improves circulation of healing nutrients and oxygen
-
Takes pressure off the nerves, reducing inflammation and pain
-
Helps the body heal the disc over time without surgery, injections, or medications
Why Passive AND Active Therapy Are Essential
While spinal decompression is the foundation, lasting relief comes from a full approach. That’s why Dr. Boelk includes both passive and active therapy in each patient’s care plan.
Passive therapy includes:
-
Spinal decompression with the DRX9000
-
Soft tissue work
-
Electrical stimulation (if needed)
Active therapy includes:
-
Core stabilization and strengthening
-
Hip and spinal mobility exercises
-
Postural correction and movement retraining
This combination helps stabilize the spine, correct imbalances, and prevent the disc from re-bulging in the future.
