Looking for a Non-Surgical Disc Specialist in San Diego? Start Here.

If you're dealing with a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or chronic back or neck pain—you're likely searching for real answers, not just temporary relief. The good news is: you don't have to rely on injections, medications, or risky surgery to feel better.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients find long-lasting relief from disc problems using a proven, research-backed method known as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)—a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution that addresses the root cause of your pain.

💡 What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

NSSD is a specialized treatment that gently relieves pressure on your spinal discs using a computer-guided system. At our office, we use the FDA-cleared DRX9000 machine, which has been clinically studied by Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.

Unlike general traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 provides precise, controlled decompression that allows injured discs to rehydrate, reabsorb, and heal—naturally.

✅ Herniated discs
✅ Bulging discs
✅ Degenerative disc disease
✅ Sciatic nerve pain

💬 Real Patient Testimonials

“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.”

“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 commiting to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”

“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
