Lasting Disc Herniation Pain Relief – San Diego, CA
Why True Recovery Requires More Than Just Passive Treatment
Living with a disc herniation can feel like a daily uphill battle. The sharp pain, numbness, and constant tension can rob you of simple joys—like playing with your kids, surfing, sleeping through the night, or even standing comfortably. If you’ve tried medications, adjustments, or physical therapy and still haven’t found relief, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in one thing: helping people get lasting pain relief by correcting the root cause of disc-related pain—not just masking the symptoms.
💡 Why We Only Use the DRX9000 for Spinal Decompression
There are a lot of clinics that claim to offer “spinal decompression.” But not all machines—and not all doctors—are the same.
We use the DRX9000, the most advanced, FDA-cleared spinal decompression system, backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic. It gently and precisely stretches the spine, creating negative pressure that helps retract herniated disc material, reduce nerve compression, and restore hydration and healing within the disc.
Other machines simply don’t provide the same precision, consistency, or comfort—and using the wrong approach can delay healing.
🎯 What Makes This Treatment Different?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a passive therapy, meaning the machine does the work of decompressing the spine. But lasting results require much more than that.
That’s why Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC integrates NSSD with a very specific active therapy approach, based on over 20 years of experience and thousands of cases. Most patients who fail decompression elsewhere never received the full treatment system:
- No individualized decompression protocols
- No correction of core weakness or movement imbalances
- No postural retraining or stability restoration
- No plan for long-term function after pain relief
That’s the difference. And it shows in our results.
📣 Real Patients. Real Results.
“Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. He has the health of his patients as his top priority. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended and administered have so diminished my back pain that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk."

"Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. Have had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 plus months, no pills helped and on track for multiple shots but with the treatment given I have found relief and down to zero pain. As a firefighter that relies on his body to help others and the results I have experienced it's totally worth looking into what Dr. Boelk can do for you."
— Joshua T. San Diego Spinal Decompression Therapy
"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life."

🛠 What You Can Do at Home to Help
We believe in giving before asking—so here are a few powerful ways you can start helping your spine right now:
- Avoid prolonged sitting—especially with poor posture
- Use a lumbar roll to support your spine while driving or working
- Apply ice to your lower back (not the leg) for 15–20 minutes, 2–3x/day
- Go on short walks daily to increase circulation and reduce stiffness
- Avoid bending, twisting, or lifting until evaluated by a specialist
- Strengthen your core and hip stability (only with proper guidance)
These are helpful, but they won’t correct a disc herniation alone. That requires an experienced provider, a specialized decompression protocol, and active rehab that’s tailored to you.
