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:

• Poor posture and spinal alignment

• Repetitive bending or lifting

• Prolonged sitting

• Past injuries or trauma

• Age-related disc degeneration

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:

• Reduces pressure on nerves

• Encourages rehydration and healing of the disc

• Decreases inflammation and pain

• Helps restore natural disc height and spacing

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.

• Passive therapy (NSSD, laser therapy, soft tissue work) addresses the immediate nerve compression and inflammation.

• Active therapy (custom rehab, stability training, spinal mobility work) strengthens and retrains the body to keep pressure off the discs long term.

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.

"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."

I plan to continue maintenance sessions to keep myself feeling great."
