Lasting Severe Neck Pain Relief – San Diego, CA
Why Some Cases Involve Disc Compression—and How to Get Real Results
Severe neck pain can be incredibly disruptive. Whether it strikes suddenly or builds over time, it can interfere with your sleep, focus, work, and quality of life. While not all cases of severe neck pain are caused by disc compression, many of the most stubborn and persistent cases are—and this is where advanced, targeted care becomes critical.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, has been helping patients find lasting relief from neck pain for nearly two decades. With over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments performed, his clinic has become the go-to destination for patients from San Diego, across California, and even internationally.
🚫 Not All Neck Pain Is the Same
It’s important to understand that severe neck pain has many potential causes:
- Muscle strain
- Postural imbalances
- Joint dysfunction
- Nerve irritation
- Cervical disc compression or herniation
While general tension or poor posture can cause discomfort, severe, unrelenting neck pain that radiates into the arms or shoulders often involves compressed spinal discs and nerve impingement. These cases typically do not respond well to massage, adjustments, or over-the-counter pain relievers alone.
✅ Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well
At our clinic, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a core treatment option—but only when appropriate. Using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, we create a gentle, controlled decompression of the cervical spine, which helps:
- Create negative pressure inside the disc to retract herniated or bulging material
- Relieve nerve compression that causes pain, tingling, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms
- Promote nutrient exchange and hydration to speed up healing
- Reduce inflammation and improve motion and function
The DRX9000 is the gold standard in spinal decompression technology, backed by studies from institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic. We use only the DRX9000 because it is the most effective and proven system available—period.

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, I found spinal decompression. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk. After a consultation where I felt heard and never rushed, I committed to the plan. I am so glad I did."

⚠️ The Biggest Mistake? Treating the Symptom—Not the Source
Many people chase temporary relief using medications, massage, or even generic traction devices. But if your pain stems from a disc compression issue, those solutions won’t address the root cause. In fact, they may delay proper care and allow the problem to worsen.
That’s why we start with a no-charge consultation and detailed assessment. If you're a good fit for our care, we’ll design a program to not only relieve the pain—but also restore strength, balance, and long-term function.
