Lasting Degenerative Disc Disease Pain Relief – San Diego, CA

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is one of the most common—and often misunderstood—sources of chronic low back and neck pain. It can affect your ability to sit, walk, sleep, and enjoy everyday life. While many are told to just "live with it" or eventually consider surgery, there is a better option.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers a powerful, comfortable, and non-surgical solution that helps patients not only get fast relief—but more importantly, experience lasting improvement.

Why Degenerative Disc Disease Causes So Much Pain

Your spinal discs act like shock absorbers between your vertebrae. Over time, these discs can dry out, shrink, crack, or become inflamed. When that happens, the spine loses flexibility and height, and pressure is transferred to nearby nerves, joints, and muscles.

This leads to symptoms such as:

• Localized or radiating pain

• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs

• Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods

• Stiffness, weakness, or decreased range of motion

Pain medications, physical therapy, and even surgery are often recommended—but they rarely address the actual source of the pain: disc compression.

The Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Difference

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a highly specialized therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. At our clinic, we use the DRX9000, the most advanced, FDA-cleared decompression system available.

How it Works:

• The DRX9000 gently stretches the spine in a controlled, precise way.

• This creates negative pressure inside the discs, allowing bulging or collapsed discs to retract and rehydrate.

• As the disc space is restored, nerve irritation is reduced, circulation improves, and healing begins from the inside out.

Unlike traditional traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 is computer-controlled, individualized, and backed by research from institutions like Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.

Why Patients Say Treatment Is Gentle, Relaxing, and Comfortable

Many people fear decompression therapy will be painful—but the opposite is true. Most of our patients describe it as:

• Gentle and calming

• A chance to relax and unwind

• Often relieving pain during the session itself

You simply lie on your back, fully clothed, as the machine does all the work. There’s no cracking, popping, or invasive procedures—just a relaxing treatment that targets the root of the issue.

Why Dr. Boelk Delivers Such Powerful Results

With over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments performed, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is one of the most experienced doctors in California when it comes to NSSD. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, he understands not just how to operate the DRX9000—but how to integrate it with active therapy for long-term results.

His treatment philosophy is simple:

“Use the best tools available—and apply them at the right time, in the right way—for each individual patient.”

Dr. Boelk trains other doctors across the U.S. as the Founder of the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy. Patients routinely drive and fly in from Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Spain for access to his expertise.

Real Relief Without Surgery

While many are told that surgery is the only solution for DDD, spinal decompression offers a low-risk, highly effective alternative that goes to the source of the problem—without downtime or medications.

Many of Dr. Boelk’s patients come in after trying:

• Physical therapy

• Medications

• Chiropractic adjustments

• Injections

• Pain management programs

...and finally get results with NSSD.

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, I found spinal decompression. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk. After a consultation where I felt heard and never rushed, I committed to the plan. I am so glad I did."
