Kearny Mesa Help for Herniated Discs - Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

 

If you are suffering from a herniated disc and considering spinal surgery, it’s important to know that there are effective non-surgical optionsavailable. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), helping patients avoid surgery and find long-term relief from disc-related pain.

For the past 20 years, we have helped thousands of patients recover from herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and pinched nerves, providing pain-free, effective, and research-backed treatments that address the root cause of spinal issues.

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works for Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of the disc pushes out and compresses nearby spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs.

Unlike temporary solutions such as pain medications, injections, or even surgery, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) treats the actual cause of the pain by relieving pressure on the discs and nerves.

How NSSD Works:

 Creates Negative Pressure: Gently stretches the spine, allowing the herniated disc material to retract.
 
Reduces Nerve Compression: Alleviates irritation and inflammation, decreasing pain and discomfort.
 
Restores Disc Hydration: Enables oxygen, water, and nutrients to flow back into the disc, promoting healing.
 
Non-Invasive & Drug-Free: No surgery, injections, or medications required.

The FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machine we use is the gold standard in spinal decompression therapy, backed by research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.

 

Why Active Therapy is Essential Along with Passive Therapy

While NSSD is highly effective, it must be combined with active therapyto ensure long-term success. Simply relieving pain isn’t enough—we must also strengthen and stabilize the spine to prevent future issues.

Passive Therapy (Pain Relief & Healing)

 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD): Relieves pressure on the disc and nerves.
 
Soft Tissue Work: Releases muscle tension and improves circulation.
 
Ice & Heat Therapy: Reduces inflammation and promotes healing.

Active Therapy (Strength & Prevention)

 Core Strengthening Exercises: Stabilizes the spine to prevent re-injury.
 
Mobility & Flexibility Training: Improves range of motion and reduces stiffness.
 
Postural Corrections: Helps prevent spinal misalignment and chronic pain.

By integrating both passive and active therapies, we ensure that patients not only find relief but also regain full function and long-term spinal health.
