Lasting Pain Relief for Chronic Lower Back Pain In San Diego, CA
If you're struggling with chronic lower back pain, you’re not alone—and you’re also not out of options. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients experience lasting relief by addressing one critical factor most treatments overlook: the true cause of the pain.
π The Problem with Most Back Pain Treatments
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, yet many traditional treatments focus only on symptoms—not the source. Pain medications, massage, general chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy may bring temporary relief, but they often fail to correct the deeper, structural issues causing the pain in the first place.
π Why Disc Compression Is Often the Root Cause
One of the most common—yet often overlooked—causes of chronic lower back pain is spinal disc compression. When spinal discs lose height or become misaligned due to injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, or aging, they can press on nearby nerves and tissues. This compression doesn’t just cause pain—it can also lead to:
-
Sciatica
-
Numbness and tingling in the legs
-
Stiffness and reduced mobility
-
Pain that worsens with sitting or standing
And here's the issue: most conventional treatments don't decompress the discs. So no matter how much you stretch, strengthen, or medicate the area, the pain often returns—or never goes away—because the root cause has not been addressed.
π How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works
At our clinic, we use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, the most advanced decompression technology available. Backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, this therapy works by gently and precisely reducing pressure inside the spinal discs.
As negative pressure is created, the disc is able to:
-
Rehydrate with oxygen and nutrients
-
Retract bulging or herniated material
-
Relieve pressure on compressed nerves
-
Stimulate the healing process
This process addresses the actual source of the pain—not just the symptoms—allowing for real, long-term relief.
π§ Why Individualized Treatment Plans Matter
Chronic back pain doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. Two people with similar symptoms may have completely different underlying causes. That’s why a clear, well-thought-out, and personalized protocol is essential for results that last.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we don’t guess—we test, evaluate, and tailor a plan specifically for you based on your condition, health history, goals, and response to treatment.
π‘ Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC Is a Leader in NSSD
Dr. Boelk is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist with nearly 20 years of experience and over 65,000 decompression sessions performed. He is also the founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, where he trains other doctors on how to properly deliver this highly specialized care.

“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business!
I’ve had lower back problems for over 5 years and had seen 6 other doctors looking for options other than surgery. When I came in early January, I couldn’t bend and was walking with a limp. By February, I could bend again with minimal pain. By March, I was bending without pain and walking normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I didn’t have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process—he’ll get you feeling better. He told me from day one that if progress wasn’t happening, he’d let me know. That honesty is rare and something I didn’t experience with other specialists.”

“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried everything.
After two failed cortisone shots (paid out-of-pocket) and my primary care doctor suggesting back surgery, I started looking for alternatives. I found Dr. Boelk through Google and was intrigued by all the 5-star reviews—now I see why he earns every one of them.
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and felt truly heard, I committed to a treatment plan. I’m now completely pain free after 18 treatments. No meds—just following Dr. Boelk’s plan. I’ll continue with maintenance to stay healthy moving forward.”

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his amazing team.
I have three bulging discs, and one is pressing on a nerve. Spinal decompression keeps me active and functioning. I won't trust anyone else with my back. This place is number one—and they truly care about their patients.”

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office changed my life.
I went from lying down for hours each day to living normally again and gradually building back my exercise capacity. I always felt cared for, and Dr. Boelk's guidance, exercise protocols, and education helped me maintain long-lasting results.
All of the staff are so kind. Choosing this clinic was one of the best decisions I made for my back.”
