Neck Surgery Alternatives for Severe Neck Pain – San Diego, CA

If you're dealing with severe neck pain, especially if it radiates into your shoulder, arm, or hand, there's a high likelihood the root cause isn't just muscle tension—it's a compressed spinal disc.

And if you've been told that surgery is your only option…

You may want to hold off.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients avoid neck surgery through advanced, non-surgical solutions that address the true cause of their pain—not just the symptoms.

⚠️ Why Most Severe Neck Pain Comes from Disc Injuries

When the discs in your cervical spine (neck area) become compressed, bulged, or herniated, they often press on nearby nerves. This causes a chain reaction of symptoms such as:

• Radiating pain down one or both arms

• Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers

• Weakness in the shoulder or grip strength

• Neck stiffness and limited range of motion

• Burning or aching pain between the shoulder blades

This nerve-related pain can’t be resolved by massage, stretching, or even spinal adjustments alone. Why? Because those treatments do not decompress the disc that's putting pressure on the nerve.

💡 The Better Solution: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)

We use the DRX9000C, one of the most advanced, research-backed decompression systems available. Backed by studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, this technology allows us to:

✅ Target the exact disc causing the problem
✅ Gently create space and relieve pressure on the nerve
✅ Promote disc rehydration through a process called spinal imbibition
✅ Stimulate the body’s natural healing response—without surgery or injections

Patients simply lie comfortably face up while a padded head strap provides gentle traction. Most patients feel so relaxed they fall asleep during treatment.

👨‍⚕️ Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC Gets Results When Others Don’t

Dr. Boelk is not only a Board-Certified Chiropractor—he's a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and Founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, where he trains doctors across the country.

He has performed over 65,000 decompression sessions over the past 20+ years and personally oversees every treatment.

Why This Matters:

Even with the best equipment, results only happen when settings, angles, and protocols are dialed in perfectly—something that varies from person to person based on their height, weight, disc levels, symptoms, and overall structure.

Dr. Boelk personally checks and calibrates every decompression setup. This level of attention to detail is one reason patients fly in from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., and Spain to see him.

🧩 More Than Just a Machine

In addition to decompression therapy, our care includes:

✔️ Individualized spinal stability and mobility exercises
✔️ Postural correction
✔️ Functional rehab
✔️ Strategies to prevent flare-ups or reinjury
✔️ Education so you can understand exactly what's happening in your body

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs, and one is touching the nerve. The decompression treatment keeps me active, and I won’t go anywhere else for back treatment. This place is number one!”

🏥 Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer

Neck surgery can be risky. It often involves fusions, hardware, and long recovery times—and in many cases, doesn’t address the underlying disc issue in a sustainable way.

We offer a safe, drug-free, and surgery-free path that actually targets the cause of your pain.
