Non-Surgical Alternatives for Spinal Stenosis in Kearny Mesa, CA
Spinal stenosis can be a debilitating condition, causing chronic pain, numbness, weakness, and mobility limitations. Many patients are told that surgery is their only option—but that’s not the case. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), an advanced, non-invasive treatment that relieves pressure on the spine and nerves without the risks of surgery.
For over 20 years, Dr. Boelk has helped thousands of patients suffering from spinal stenosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and pinched nerves—helping them regain their mobility and eliminate pain without relying on injections, medications, or surgery.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows, compressing the spinal cord and nerves. This leads to chronic pain, radiating numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking or standing. Traditional treatments like pain medications, injections, or surgery only provide temporary relief or come with significant risks.
NSSD is different—it works by addressing the root cause of spinal stenosis: nerve compression.
How NSSD Relieves Spinal Stenosis:
✔ Decompression of Spinal Discs & Nerves:
NSSD gently stretches the spine using precise, computer-controlled technology. This creates negative pressure, which helps relieve pressure on compressed nerves caused by narrowed spinal canals or bulging discs.
✔ Rehydration & Healing of Discs:
When discs are compressed, they lose hydration and nutrients, making them more prone to degeneration. NSSD restores oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to the discs, promoting healing and increased flexibility.
✔ Increased Space in the Spine:
By relieving compression, NSSD gradually increases space between vertebrae, reducing the painful nerve pressure that comes with spinal stenosis.
✔ Pain-Free & Non-Invasive:
Unlike surgery, which can lead to complications and long recovery periods, NSSD is a relaxing, pain-free treatment that requires no downtime.
At our clinic, we use the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 spinal decompression machine, the most advanced system available, which has been researched by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.
Why Passive Therapy Alone is Not Enough – The Need for Active Therapy
While NSSD is extremely effective at relieving pain, it must be combined with active therapy for long-term success. Simply decompressing the spine isn’t enough—we also need to strengthen and stabilize the spine to prevent future flare-ups.
The Importance of Active Therapy:
✔ Strengthening Core & Spinal Muscles:
Building strength in the core, lower back, and hips is crucial for maintaining spinal stability and preventing further compression.
✔ Postural Corrections:
Poor posture often contributes to spinal compression. Postural training helps patients learn how to sit, stand, and move in ways that reduce spinal stress.
✔ Mobility & Flexibility Training:
Many patients with spinal stenosis develop tight, restricted muscles that worsen their symptoms. Stretching and mobility exercises increase range of motion and reduce stiffness.
✔ Long-Term Prevention:
Active therapy ensures that once pain is relieved, it doesn’t return. Without strengthening and stabilizing the spine, patients risk future disc degeneration and nerve compression.
That’s why every patient at our clinic receives a customized, step-by-step rehabilitation program, designed specifically for their body, condition, and lifestyle.
