Neck Disc Herniation Treatment in Kearny Mesa, CA
Neck disc herniations are one of the most common—and painful—reasons people in Kearny Mesa seek care. When a cervical disc pushes out of place or ruptures, it can put direct pressure on the spinal nerves, often causing severe pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, and even hands. Many patients also report numbness, tingling, or weakness that interferes with daily activities.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located near Kearny Mesa, I, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, specialize in treating disc herniations without surgery. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping patients avoid neck surgery and recover naturally. With over 75,000 decompression treatments performed, I’ve developed proven protocols that deliver results for patients who are often told surgery is their only option.
Why Disc Herniations Happen in the Neck
Your cervical discs act as cushions between the bones of your spine. Over time—or sometimes from injury—these discs can bulge, tear, or rupture, pressing against sensitive nerves. Common symptoms include:
-
Sharp neck pain or stiffness
-
Pain radiating into the shoulders, arms, or hands
-
Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations
-
Weakness in grip strength or arm movement
These symptoms may start suddenly or worsen gradually, but they often don’t resolve on their own.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: A Research-Backed Solution
Unlike pain medications, injections, or basic traction, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) addresses the root cause of the problem. Using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, decompression gently relieves pressure within the disc by creating a negative pressure inside the disc space. This allows:
-
Retraction of herniated or bulging disc material
-
Relief of pressure on pinched nerves
-
Restoration of nutrient and oxygen flow into the disc, helping it heal naturally
The DRX9000 is the most advanced spinal decompression system available and is backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic. That’s why we exclusively use this system in our office—we want every patient to have access to the best results possible.
Why Our Approach in Kearny Mesa Is Different
Spinal decompression alone is not enough. At our clinic, every treatment plan is customized and includes:
-
Precise DRX9000 decompression protocols for cervical discs
-
Active therapy and stability training to correct muscle imbalances
-
Posture and mobility work to support long-term relief
This comprehensive approach is why patients drive and fly in not only from Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Spain, Mexico, and the UK, but also right here in Kearny Mesa and San Diego.
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."
