How to fix lower back pain without surgery – San Diego, CA

 

A Real Solution for Bulging Discs, Sciatica & Herniated Discs Without Injections or Surgery

 

If you’ve been searching online for “how to fix lower back pain without surgery”, you’re probably tired of quick fixes, temporary relief, or being told surgery is the next step. Severe lower back pain, sciatica, disc bulges, and nerve compression can turn basic activities into a challenge — sitting, standing, driving, sleeping, even getting out of bed.

 

For many patients in San Diego, CA, surgery feels like the only option. But for the right candidate, there is a proven non-surgical solution that can help relieve disc pressure and restore mobility without invasive procedures. That’s where True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000comes in.

 

Located in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC specializes exclusively in spinal decompression and disc rehabilitation, helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery and get back to living life again.

 

Why Traditional Treatments Often Fail

Most treatments address symptoms, not the root cause:

• Pain medications
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Massage & stretching
• Physical therapy
• Injections / epidurals

 

These approaches can help, but when the core issue is disc compression or nerve irritation, relief doesn’t last because the internal pressure inside the disc hasn’t been changed.

 

When a disc bulges, herniates, or becomes damaged, it can push into spinal nerves and cause:

✔️ Sciatica down one or both legs
✔️ Sharp low back pain or spasms
✔️ Numbness or tingling
✔️ Pain when sitting, standing, or driving
✔️ Difficulty using the bathroom or getting dressed

Until that pressure is reduced, symptoms typically return.

 

The Difference That Changes Outcomes

True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression – DRX9000

This is not traction, inversion tables, or generic pulling of the spine.

The DRX9000 is:

• FDA-cleared
• Computer-guided and angle-specific
• Researched at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic
• Capable of creating negative pressure (vacuum effect) in the disc

This negative pressure can:

📍 Retract bulging/herniated disc material away from the nerve
📍 Increase circulation of oxygen, water & nutrients
📍 Improve disc stability & function
📍 Reduce inflammation and nerve compression

For the right patient — this process can be the turning point.

 

⭐ REAL PATIENT RESULTS 

 

TESTIMONIAL #1 — ANTHONY K., 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!”

 

TESTIMONIAL #2 — LISA S., UNITED KINGDOM

“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

 

TESTIMONIAL #3 — AMANDA, SAN DIEGO, CA

“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.
Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before…I’m doing a program called 75 Hard… and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!
I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”

 

TESTIMONIAL #4 — BRIAN PERROTTA, SAN DIEGO, CA

“I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

 

TESTIMONIAL #5 — KAITELYN H., SAN DIEGO, CA

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom.”

 

Supportive Home Strategies

Self-adjusting can increase inflammation.

Dead bug variations, belly breathing, isometric holds.

Gentle heat + movement before stretching.

These reinforce the results of treatment — they do not replace it.
