Lasting Disc Herniation Pain Relief – Chula Vista, CA

Lasting Disc Herniation Pain Relief – Chula Vista, CA

A disc herniation doesn’t just cause back pain — it interrupts your life. From missed sleep to being unable to play golf, exercise, or even sit comfortably, the impact can feel overwhelming. For many in Chula Vista, the first recommendation they hear is injections or surgery. But the truth is, there is a proven, non-surgical path that works for thousands of patients.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has been helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery for over 21 years. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Dr. Boelk has personally performed more than 75,000 spinal decompression treatments, making him one of the most experienced doctors in the country.


Why Our Treatments Are Different

Not all decompression therapies are created equal. Many offices use traction tables or outdated devices that are not true decompression. We use only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system — the gold standard backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic.

With seven DRX9000 tables (four lumbar and three cervical), we are the largest provider in California. This technology gently creates negative pressure inside the disc, pulling hydration and nutrients back in to allow the body to heal itself. Each setting is customized for the patient — no two treatments are the same.


Trusted by Patients Near & Far

Patients come not only from Chula Vista but from across San Diego, throughout the U.S., and internationally. The reason is simple: outcomes matter.

Michael Langsdale shared his story:

“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with sub par machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal… even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months. Definitely worth the investment!”


Results That Change Lives

Brian Perrotta explains what happened after years of suffering with sciatica and a herniated disc:

“I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

These stories reflect a consistent truth: real patients with real conditions are experiencing outcomes they never thought possible — often after trying everything else.


Passive & Active Care – The Complete Solution

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a powerful passive therapy, but for lasting results it must be combined with active rehabilitation. Dr. Boelk includes exercises and corrective strategies designed to stabilize the spine and hips, correct posture, and restore balance so the pain doesn’t return. This dual approach is why so many patients report not just relief, but lasting change.


A Clear Alternative to Surgery

Amanda, who suffered from an extruded disc pressing on her L5 nerve, put it this way:

“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable… My doctor scheduled me for injections and surgery consults. Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I never ended up needing either of those appointments. Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight, lifting weights, and even doing a program called 75 hard. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”


Limited Spots & Referral Policy

We receive referrals from orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and medical doctors throughout San Diego. However, patients are always accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to high demand, we often maintain a waitlist, and once treatment slots are full, patients must wait until the next availability.
