Kearny Mesa’s Leading Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Clinic

 

Safe, Proven Relief for Disc Injuries, Sciatica, and Chronic Back Pain—Without Surgery

If you’re struggling with disc pain, sciatica, or spinal stenosis and want to avoid surgery, injections, or medications, there’s a safe, research-backed alternative right here in Kearny Mesa, San Diego.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients eliminate pain, regain function, and avoid invasive procedures using a proven system of care built around Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and comprehensive rehabilitation strategies.

 

What Conditions We Treat

We specialize in treating spinal disc and nerve compression conditions, including:

• Herniated Discs
• Bulging Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Sciatica / Pinched Nerves
• Spinal Stenosis
• Chronic Neck or Back Pain
• Post-Surgical Pain / Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
• Radiating Arm or Leg Pain (Radiculopathy)

If you’ve been told your only option is surgery—or you’ve tried other treatments without success—we may be able to help.

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

NSSD works by gently separating the spinal vertebrae using the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 decompression system. This creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing herniated or bulging disc material to retract, relieving pressure on the nerves.

This leads to:

• Reduced nerve irritation and inflammation
• Improved blood flow and healing
• Increased disc height and hydration
• Less pain, more movement, and real results

NSSD has been supported by research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic for its effectiveness in disc-related conditions.

 

Why Not All Spinal Decompression is the Same

Unfortunately, many clinics offer what they call “spinal decompression” using basic traction tables or generic systems—not true, computerized decompression.

At our Kearny Mesa clinic, we use only DRX 9000 machines, the most advanced decompression systems available. With 7 DRX units and over 50,000 sessions performed, we’re the largest provider of NSSD in California. Every setting is custom-calibrated for your body and disc level, ensuring safe, targeted, and effective results.

 

NSSD is Just One Part of the Solution

Although decompression is a powerful tool for reducing pain and nerve pressure, lasting relief requires addressing the full picture, including:

1. Spinal Mobility

We help patients improve flexibility and joint motion to restore natural spinal mechanics and reduce stiffness that leads to compensation and injury.

2. Spinal Stability

Targeted strengthening of the core, glutes, and spinal stabilizers protects the spine and helps prevent re-injury.

3. Movement & Biomechanics Training

Many injuries stem from poor posture, lifting technique, or repetitive faulty movement. We teach you how to sit, stand, bend, and move correctly so your spine stays supported throughout the day.

4. Personalized Home Care

We give you a custom plan to follow at home to enhance healing and avoid setbacks—including stretches, mobility drills, and posture habits that can make a huge difference.

 

At-Home Strategies to Prevent Disc Injuries

There’s a lot you can do at home to support your spinal health and prevent disc problems:

• Use a lumbar support cushion while sitting, especially at work or in the car.
• Take movement breaks every 30–60 minutes if sitting for long periods.
• Practice hip hinge movements instead of bending from the waist when lifting.
• Perform daily spinal mobility stretches, such as cat-cow, child’s pose, and gentle spinal twists.
• Strengthen your core 2–3 times a week with exercises like bird-dogs, dead bugs, and planks.
• Stay hydrated to keep your spinal discs healthy and hydrated.
• Sleep with proper spinal alignment (on your side with a pillow between your knees or on your back with a pillow under your knees).

These small daily habits can help protect your spine for the long run—and prevent future injuries.
