Lasting Back Pain Relief in La Jolla, California

 

Whether it’s surfing at Windansea, long days at the office, or time spent staying active along the coast, life in La Jolla demands a healthy, pain-free back. Unfortunately, many people find themselves living with recurring or chronic low-back pain that limits what they love most. Medications, stretching, or even standard chiropractic care might bring brief relief—but the pain always returns.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC specializes in helping people from La Jolla and throughout San Diego experience lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). Using advanced DRX9000 technology combined with hands-on doctor oversight and customized stability programs, Dr. Boelk has helped thousands finally get their lives back—without surgery or injections.

 

Why La Jolla Patients Trust Dr. Boelk

Each decompression session is individually calibrated and overseen by Dr. Boelk himself. There are no preset programs or unsupervised treatments—only precision, safety, and personal care guided by over two decades of experience.

 

“Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day, and within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled.

 

First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people.

I’ve never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be four people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth.”
— Erin Turk, CA

 

Dr. Boelk’s combination of technical skill and true compassion is what draws people from La Jolla, Del Mar, and Carmel Valley—and even beyond California—to his Kearny Mesa clinic.

So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”

  With 7 DRX9000 machines and over 75,000 sessions performed, Dr. Boelk’s clinic is a recognized leader in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression.

 

Understanding Back Pain and How to Fix It

Most back pain begins when spinal discs lose hydration and height, compressing the nerves that travel into the hips and legs. Over time, this creates inflammation, stiffness, and pain that never fully goes away.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression reverses this process by gently creating a vacuum within the disc. That negative pressure draws oxygen, nutrients, and fluid back in—allowing the disc to heal naturally and relieving nerve pressure at its source.

 

At-Home Steps to Support Your Spine

1. Use Ice Instead of Heat – 15–20 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation.
2. Walk Several Times a Day – Gentle motion encourages blood flow and healing.
3. Stretch Your Hamstrings and Hips – 15 seconds per side, 3 repetitions.
4. Avoid Prolonged Sitting – Stand every 45 minutes; use lumbar support.
5. Stay Hydrated – Your spinal discs depend on water to stay healthy.

Small habits like these can make a noticeable difference and complement professional decompression care.

 

Real Patient Results
