Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Doctor In San Diego, CA (NSSD) – The Leading Solution for Lasting Pain Relief in San Diego, CA
What is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment designed to relieve chronic back and neck pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. Using precise, computer-controlled mechanical traction, NSSD gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure allows bulging or herniated disc material to retract, relieving pressure on nerves and promoting the flow of oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to support healing.
Why Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work So Well?
NSSD is backed by research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, demonstrating its high effectiveness in treating disc-related conditions without surgery. Unlike traditional traction or basic chiropractic adjustments, NSSD provides:
✅ Targeted Disc Rehydration & Healing – Encourages the reabsorption of herniated material and restores disc hydration for long-term relief.
✅ Lasting Pain Relief – Relieves pressure on nerves, reducing pain, numbness, and tingling.
✅ Non-Invasive & Drug-Free Treatment – No surgery, injections, or downtime.
✅ Long-Term Correction – Addresses the root cause of pain, not just symptoms.
What Conditions Can Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Help?
NSSD is a highly effective treatment for many chronic spinal conditions, including:
- Herniated & Bulging Discs – Helps reposition the disc material and reduce nerve compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Slows progression by restoring hydration and improving disc function.
- Sciatica & Pinched Nerves – Reduces inflammation and relieves nerve irritation.
- Spinal Stenosis – Creates space for compressed nerves, alleviating pain and mobility issues.
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain – Especially for those who have not responded well to other treatments.
Why We Need to Rule In & Out Candidates for NSSD
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. The success of the treatment depends on proper screening and evaluation to determine whether NSSD is appropriate. A thorough assessment includes:
🔹 Reviewing MRI findings and medical history.
🔹 Identifying underlying conditions that may affect treatment success.
🔹 Ensuring the patient’s body can safely undergo spinal decompression.
For example, patients with severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or spinal implants may not be suitable candidates. By carefully selecting the right patients, we maximize success rates and avoid ineffective treatments.
Not All Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is the Same
Many clinics claim to offer spinal decompression but use outdated or ineffective equipment, fail to provide comprehensive care, or lack proper training in decompression protocols. Here’s what sets our office apart:
✅ Exclusive Use of DRX9000 Machines – The most advanced, research-backed decompression technology.
✅ Experienced & Certified in NSSD – Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor with over 50,000 decompression treatments performed.
✅ Comprehensive Treatment Plans – We combine passive therapy (decompression) with active therapy (rehabilitation) for long-term success.
✅ Expert Trainer & Educator – Dr. Boelk is not only a leading practitioner but also teaches other doctors best practices for utilizing NSSD effectively.
✅ Founder of the Spinal Decompression Academy – Dr. Boelk trains doctors nationwide on the proper protocols and procedures for achieving the best patient outcomes with NSSD.
Why Individualized Plans & Active Therapy Are Essential for Lasting Results
While NSSD provides significant relief, long-term success requires a combination of passive and active therapy.
🔹 Passive Therapy (Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Care) – Relieves pressure on discs and nerves, reducing pain and inflammation.
🔹 Active Therapy (Rehabilitation & Strengthening) – Targets muscle imbalances, improves posture, and restores spinal stability to prevent re-injury.
🔹 Customized Treatment Plans – Each patient’s condition is unique, requiring a tailored approach for optimal results.
Many treatment programs fail because they only focus on symptom relief, not long-term correction. We address the root cause of spinal issues to ensure lasting results.
Real Patients, Real Results – Testimonials
Pamela Olson
"After months of debilitating back pain, I was referred to Dr. Boelk for spinal decompression therapy. The results were incredible. I had been struggling to do simple daily activities, and nothing else seemed to help. After just a few treatments, I noticed a major improvement, and by the end of my sessions, I was back to my normal life without the need for surgery! I’m so grateful for Dr. Boelk and his expertise—I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with back pain."
Marlo Surovsky (via sandiegobackcare.com)
"I was so tired of being in pain and felt like I had exhausted all my options. I had two unsuccessful cortisone shots in my back, and my doctors were recommending surgery, which I wanted to avoid at all costs. After researching alternatives, I found Dr. Boelk and spinal decompression therapy. From my first visit, I felt reassured by his knowledge and experience. After a few treatments, I started noticing significant improvement, and now I feel better than I have in years. I can’t thank Dr. Boelk and his staff enough!"
Lisa Simmons (Traveled from the UK for treatment)
"I travel from the UK for Dr. Boelk’s spinal decompression treatments, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I had been suffering from chronic lower back pain for years, and every treatment I tried—physical therapy, injections, even acupuncture—only gave me temporary relief. A friend in California recommended Dr. Boelk, and after doing my research, I decided to make the trip. His personalized care, expertise, and the DRX9000 machine have made all the difference. I feel like I finally have my life back. This clinic is the best!"
