Lasting Relief Without Surgery – Backed by Experience & Results

If you live in Chula Vista and are struggling with back pain, sciatica, or a disc injury, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to resort to surgery or long-term medications to get relief. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we offer a safe, highly effective treatment known as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), led by San Diego’s most experienced decompression doctor, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC.


What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)?

NSSD is a non-invasive therapy that relieves pressure on spinal discs and nerves using precise, computer-controlled decompression cycles. When performed correctly, it helps:

  1. Reduce disc bulges and herniations

  2. Increase nutrient and oxygen flow into injured discs

  3. Take pressure off irritated nerves

  4. Promote long-term healing—not just temporary relief

Unlike injections or medications, this treatment addresses the root cause of pain—disc and nerve compression.


Why We Use the DRX9000—and Only the DRX9000

Not all spinal decompression is created equal. Many offices use generic traction tables or lower-end equipment. We use the FDA-cleared DRX9000—the most advanced and scientifically supported system available.

This machine allows for:

It’s the same system studied at Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center—and we have 7 DRX9000 machines in-office, making us the largest known provider of NSSD in California.


Active + Passive Treatment = Long-Term Results

What truly separates our clinic is that we don’t rely on decompression alone. Once pressure is relieved, we implement stabilization and mobility protocols so you stay out of pain.

Each patient receives a tailored plan that includes:

This comprehensive approach is key to lasting success.


Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC?

Dr. Boelk isn’t just a chiropractor—he’s one of the most experienced NSSD doctors in the country:

He combines decades of hands-on experience with a compassionate, problem-solving mindset rooted in overcoming his own spinal injuries.


Real Patient Testimonial

“Before coming here, I couldn’t sit, couldn’t stand, and couldn’t sleep. Dr. Boelk and his team were amazing. Within a few weeks, my pain dropped from a 9 to a 1. I’ve avoided surgery, and I’m back to playing with my grandkids. Thank you!”

Mercedes Bautista – El Centro, CA
"I found out about Dr. Boelk on the internet while searching for a doctor for my friend. I’ve always had back issues, so I decided to have an MRI. Dr. Boelk discovered I had a bulging disc and dehydrated discs. At first, I was scared, but my husband and I decided the investment in my health was worth it. I now travel from El Centro four times a week because of the amazing results. The staff makes you feel like family. I feel better and have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank you!"

"I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment; this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients."

"Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally. I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better."

"Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day & within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people. I've never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be 4 people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I guess I just cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth."
