Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for Neck Pain – San Diego, CA

Not all, but many cases of neck pain are the result of disc compression. While physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, acupuncture, injections, pain medications, and even surgery can be helpful in some situations, lasting relief is often short-lived—or never achieved—if the root cause of the problem, the disc itself, is not addressed.

When a disc is compressed, it can irritate or pinch nerves, limit movement, and create persistent pain. Unless that compression is properly reduced, most treatments will only manage symptoms temporarily. This is why Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, uses Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) for qualifying patients.

“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I had been to 6 other doctors over 5 years, came in unable to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was bending with minimal pain, and by March I could bend without any pain and walk normally. I’m EXTREMELY happy I avoided surgery and found Dr. Boelk.”
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

Why Our Approach Is Different

We only use the DRX9000, the most researched and clinically proven decompression system, validated by institutions such as Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic. Our San Diego clinic is home to 7 DRX9000 machines, making us the largest known provider of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in California.

But technology alone isn’t the answer—it’s how it’s used. The DRX9000 is just a tool; the protocols, individualized settings, and integration with active therapy are what lead to long-term results.

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for hours each day to living my life normally, even building my exercise capacity. The exercises and information Dr. Boelk provides are critical to maintaining results.”

A Thorough Screening Process

Not everyone is a candidate for NSSD. Dr. Boelk’s screening process is detailed, ensuring that treatment is only offered when there is a high probability of success. For those not suited for decompression, he provides honest guidance and referrals.

For out-of-town patients—many traveling from across the country and internationally from places like the UK, Mexico, and Spain—the process often begins with a Zoom or online consultation to determine candidacy before making the trip to San Diego.

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs, one touching the nerve. The spinal decompression treatment really helps me stay active. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom

Why Patients Fly In and Doctors Train Here

Patients travel for Dr. Boelk’s expertise, but so do doctors. As Founder of the Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Training Academy, Dr. Boelk trains other physicians on proper DRX9000 protocols so they can achieve better outcomes for their own patients. With over 65,000 decompression treatments performed, his approach combines advanced technology with precise, individualized care.

“I was so tired of being in pain and had tried everything—two cortisone shots, medications, even considering surgery. After committing to Dr. Boelk’s plan, I’m now pain-free after 18 treatments. No meds, no surgery—just the right treatment.”
— Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA

Active + Passive Care = Lasting Results

While the DRX9000 reduces disc compression, the long-term success comes from combining this passive therapy with targeted active rehabilitation to correct muscle imbalances, restore stability, and protect the spine from future injury. This is why many patients not only recover but stay active without returning to chronic pain.

If you’re ready to see if you qualify for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with Dr. Boelk, your first step is a no-charge consultation.
