Leg Weakness, Numbness & Hip Pain – Non-Surgical Treatment in San Diego, CA

Many people across San Diego, La Jolla, Kearny Mesa, and Chula Vista suffer from symptoms like leg weakness, thigh pain, hip stiffness, numbness, or a heavy, dragging sensation in one leg. While these issues may be written off as muscular or aging-related, they often stem from underlying nerve compression caused by disc problems in the lower back—even if the back itself isn’t the main source of pain.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, these exact cases are seen and successfully treated on a daily basis using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) on the DRX9000 system.

Why Are These Symptoms Happening?

If you’ve had:

• Extreme weakness, cramping, or heaviness in your leg

• Tingling, numbness, or “electric” sensations down the thigh

• Difficulty walking, sitting upright, or performing daily activities

…it’s often due to a compressed or irritated spinal nerve, typically caused by:

• Disc bulges or herniations

• Disc degeneration

• Foraminal narrowing (foraminal stenosis)

• Postural compression or joint dysfunction

Even when MRIs or reports mention the opposite side of the body, the real-world symptoms often point to functional nerve irritation, which is exactly what NSSD is designed to treat.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

NSSD works by gently and precisely unloading pressure from the spinal discs and nerves. Using advanced, computer-controlled settings, the DRX9000 creates negative pressure within the disc, which:

• Helps pull bulging or herniated disc material away from the nerve

• Allows fresh fluid and nutrients to re-enter the disc

• Reduces inflammation and nerve compression

• Rebuilds disc health over time without surgery, injections, or downtime

We are proud to only use the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system—proven effective through research at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.

Why Dr. Boelk’s Office Is Different

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a:

• Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor

• Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist

• Founder of the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy

• Experienced with over 65,000 decompression treatments

• Known for helping patients avoid surgery and get back to life—even after failed treatments elsewhere

Many of his patients drive or fly in from across California, the U.S., and countries like Mexico, Spain, and the UK specifically for his protocol-based treatment programs.

Not All Decompression Is the Same

Decompression only works when:

• The machine is the right one (we use only DRX9000 systems—7 of them, the most in California)

• The settings are customized per patient

• The treatment is part of a larger corrective plan that includes active rehab and movement correction

Who Is This For?

• Individuals with severe or extreme limitations

• Patients with right leg weakness, tingling, or hip pain

• People who have already tried physical therapy, injections, or chiropractic without lasting relief

• Those serious about getting better and ready to follow a structured plan

We only accept cases we believe we can truly help. Each patient is carefully evaluated first through a no-charge consultation before treatment is recommended.

Our Referral Policy

Many patients come to us from referrals by:

• Neurologists

• Orthopedic surgeons

• Chiropractors

• Physical therapists

• Massage therapists

However, all patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis so Dr. Boelk can determine if your condition qualifies for care. We don’t rush these decisions, and we won’t accept a case unless we believe we can help.

"I found out about Dr. Boelk on the internet while searching for a doctor for my friend. I’ve always had back issues, so I decided to have an MRI. Dr. Boelk discovered I had a bulging disc and dehydrated discs. At first, I was scared, but my husband and I decided the investment in my health was worth it. I now travel from El Centro four times a week because of the amazing results. The staff makes you feel like family. I feel better and have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank you!"
