How to Heal a Bulging Disc Naturally – San Diego, CA

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:

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.

"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life."
