Lasting Pain Relief for a Herniated Disc – San Diego, CA

Understanding Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of the spinal disc pushes through the outer wall, often pressing on nearby nerves. This can cause sharp leg pain, numbness, weakness, or constant back pain that disrupts daily life. Many people are told surgery is their only option. Thankfully, that’s not always true.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC provides lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the advanced DRX9000 system. This FDA-cleared technology gently relieves pressure inside the discs, helping to:

• Retract disc material away from compressed nerves

• Restore vital oxygen and nutrients to the disc

• Create a healing environment for long-term recovery

• Reduce pain without drugs or surgery

The DRX9000 is not traction or inversion. It’s research-backed, with support from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic. Dr. Boelk’s clinic is the largest known provider of NSSD in California, featuring 7 DRX9000 units and over 75,000 decompression treatments performed.

A Personalized Approach for Long-Term Relief

Relief isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every patient receives a custom plan that blends passive decompression therapy with active stability and mobility exercises. This ensures that results last by correcting imbalances and strengthening support muscles. Patients come not just from San Diego, but also from across the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., and Spain, seeking Dr. Boelk’s expertise.

Real Patient Success Stories

“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. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.

Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews).

After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan. I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort. No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”
— 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 is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”
— Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA
