Lasting Disc Bulge Pain Relief In San Diego, CA

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression That Targets the Root Cause

If you’re dealing with a painful disc bulge in San Diego, you know how life-altering it can be. The sharp, burning, or aching pain—whether it radiates into the arms, legs, or stays in the neck or back—can stop you from working, exercising, or simply enjoying everyday life. The good news? Surgery is not your only option, and long-term relief is possible.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers a proven, personalized approach that has helped thousands of patients recover from disc bulges—without surgery, injections, or endless medications.


🔍 Why Do Disc Bulges Happen?

Disc bulges occur when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes outward against the tougher exterior wall. This bulging disc material can press against nearby spinal nerves, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness—depending on the location and severity of the bulge.

Common causes include:

The issue isn’t just the bulge itself—it’s the nerve compression and inflammation that follows. That’s why targeting the root mechanical dysfunction is essential for lasting relief.


✅ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps

At our San Diego office, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, the most advanced and research-supported decompression technology available. This is not generic traction or inversion. The DRX9000 precisely targets the affected disc levels, gently creating negative pressure within the disc. This:

NSSD is completely non-invasive, comfortable, and highly effective for properly selected candidates.


⚖️ Active + Passive Therapy = Long-Term Relief

What makes our clinic different is our dual approach to healing.

Most clinics only do one or the other—we combine both, which is why our results last longer and why so many patients stay out of the surgery room.

"Super knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and results-driven. Dr. Boelk helped me when nothing else did."
– Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA

"Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally. I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk."
 Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, my primary doctor told me surgery might be my only option. I wanted to avoid surgery at all costs. After committing to Dr. Boelk’s spinal decompression plan, I am now completely pain-free! I plan to continue maintenance sessions to keep myself feeling great."
 Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA

"I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs, and one was pressing on my sciatic nerve. The spinal decompression treatments have kept me active and pain-free. I wouldn't go anywhere else!"
 Lisa S., United Kingdom
