Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Doctor in Kearny Mesa, CA
Understanding Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an advanced, non-invasive therapy specifically designed to relieve chronic back and neck pain caused by conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. Unlike surgery or injections, NSSD works by using precisely controlled spinal traction to reduce pressure on the affected discs, allowing them to heal naturally. This process not only alleviates pain but also restores spinal function and mobility.
How Does NSSD Provide Effective Pain Relief?
Clinical research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic has shown that NSSD is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments available for spine-related pain. This therapy offers multiple benefits, including:
✅ Encouraging Disc Regeneration – By relieving pressure on damaged discs, NSSD promotes nutrient flow, rehydration, and healing.
✅ Long-Term Pain Reduction – NSSD reduces nerve compression, addressing pain, numbness, and tingling at the source.
✅ Drug-Free & Non-Invasive – No medications, injections, or surgeries required.
✅ Restoring Mobility & Function – Patients regain strength and movement without prolonged downtime.
Conditions Treated with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
This therapy is highly effective for a variety of spinal conditions, including:
- Herniated & Bulging Discs – Relieves compression on nerves by repositioning displaced disc material.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Slows the degenerative process by improving disc hydration and function.
- Sciatica & Nerve Pain – Reduces inflammation and irritation of the sciatic nerve.
- Spinal Stenosis – Opens space within the spinal canal to alleviate nerve compression.
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain – Offers relief for those with persistent discomfort that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
The Importance of Proper Candidate Selection
Not every patient is suited for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, which is why we conduct detailed evaluations to determine whether this therapy is the right solution. We assess:
🔹 MRI & Imaging Results – Understanding spinal structure and disc health is crucial.
🔹 Medical History & Symptoms – Evaluating underlying conditions that may affect treatment success.
🔹 Physical Assessment – Ensuring patients can safely undergo spinal decompression.
Those with conditions such as severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or certain spinal implants may require alternative treatment approaches.
Why Not All Spinal Decompression is Equal
Many clinics claim to offer spinal decompression, but the quality of treatment varies significantly. The effectiveness of NSSD depends on the equipment used, the expertise of the provider, and the integration of a comprehensive rehabilitation approach. Here’s what sets our clinic apart:
✅ Use of DRX9000 Technology – The most advanced spinal decompression system available.
✅ Extensive Experience & Training – Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has performed over 50,000 decompression sessions and has dedicated his career to helping patients avoid surgery.
✅ Customized Treatment Plans – Our approach combines decompression therapy with active rehabilitation for long-term results.
✅ Leading Educator in NSSD – Dr. Boelk teaches other doctors the most effective NSSD protocols and is the Founder of the Spinal Decompression Academy, where he trains physicians nationwide.
The Key to Lasting Results: Combining Passive & Active Therapy
While spinal decompression provides immediate relief, lasting results require a multi-faceted approach that includes both passive and active therapies:
🔹 Passive Therapy (Decompression & Chiropractic Care) – Alleviates disc pressure, reduces inflammation, and restores alignment.
🔹 Active Therapy (Strengthening & Stability Work) – Helps correct muscle imbalances, improve posture, and support spinal health.
🔹 Personalized Plans for Each Patient – No two cases are the same, so we tailor every treatment plan to address the patient’s specific needs.
Many treatment programs fail because they only address symptoms rather than correcting the root cause. Our approach ensures that patients experience sustained pain relief and functional improvement over the long term.
Real Patient Testimonials – Proven Results
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."

"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!"
