Neck Disc Herniation Treatment in Chula Vista, CA

Neck disc herniations are one of the most common spinal conditions we see, and for many Chula Vista residents, the pain can be overwhelming. A cervical disc herniation occurs when the inner material of a disc pushes through its outer layer, irritating or compressing the surrounding nerves. This often results in sharp neck pain, stiffness, and radiating symptoms into the shoulders, arms, and even hands. Some patients experience numbness, tingling, or weakness that limits their ability to work, exercise, or even sleep comfortably.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, I, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, specialize in helping patients avoid surgery for these types of conditions. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, I’ve spent nearly 20 years developing proven treatment protocols that target the root cause of disc herniations. Having personally performed over 75,000 spinal decompression treatments, I have seen firsthand how powerful the right non-surgical approach can be for restoring quality of life.

Why Disc Herniations Develop in the Neck

The cervical spine supports the weight of the head and allows for mobility, but its discs are vulnerable to stress, injury, and degeneration. Over time, or after trauma, a disc may bulge or rupture, leading to:

• Sharp or chronic neck pain

• Pain radiating into the arm or hand

• Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations

• Weakness in grip or arm strength

• Difficulty sleeping or performing daily activities

These symptoms often worsen over time and rarely resolve fully with rest, medications, or general chiropractic adjustments.

Why We Use the DRX9000 for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

At our clinic, we only use the FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression system—the most advanced technology available. Unlike general traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 is specifically engineered to gently and precisely reduce pressure within the disc. Research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing disc herniations and improving function.

By creating negative pressure within the disc, decompression allows herniated material to retract, relieves nerve pressure, and restores vital nutrient exchange to promote healing. This is why patients often experience both immediate relief and long-term improvement when following a proper treatment program.

Our Approach in Chula Vista

While the DRX9000 is at the core of our treatment, long-term results require more than passive care. Every patient receives a personalized plan that combines:

• Precise DRX9000 decompression settings tailored to their disc condition

• Active therapy and stability training to correct underlying imbalances

• Mobility and posture correction to maintain spinal health and prevent recurrence

This integrated approach is why patients not only from Chula Vista, but also from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Alaska, Spain, Mexico, and the UK, travel to our office for care.

Real Patient Experiences

Michael Langsdale
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with sub par machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months."

"The best decision I ever made was going to see Dr. Boelk. I was told by an orthopedic surgeon that I needed neck surgery. After treatment on the DRX9000, I avoided surgery completely and feel better than I have in years."
