Non-Surgical Treatment for Spinal Stenosis in San Diego, CA

How to Find Lasting Pain Relief Without Surgery

Spinal stenosis can be an incredibly painful and frustrating condition that interferes with daily life, making even simple activities like walking, standing, or sleeping uncomfortable. If you are struggling with spinal stenosis and searching for a solution that does not involve surgery, medications, or injections, then you are in the right place.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment that helps patients get relief from spinal stenosis pain without invasive procedures. Patients from across San Diego, California, and beyond—including out of state and international travelers from the UK, Canada, Mexico, and Spain—seek out Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC's expertise because of his unmatched experience and track record of success in treating spinal stenosis non-surgically.

What is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, compressing the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and mobility issues. The most common causes of spinal stenosis include:

When nerves are compressed, patients often experience radiating pain in the lower back, legs, or arms, muscle weakness, balance problems, and difficulty walking long distances. Many patients find that sitting provides relief while standing or walking worsens the symptoms.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is the Best Treatment Option

Traditional treatments for spinal stenosis, such as pain medications, epidural injections, and physical therapy, may offer temporary relief but do not address the root cause of the problem—spinal compression and nerve irritation. Many doctors will eventually recommend spinal surgery, but surgery comes with significant risks, long recovery times, and no guarantee of success.

This is where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the DRX 9000 comes in. NSSD is a research-backed, highly effective, and comfortable solution that helps relieve pain by gently decompressing the spine, allowing more space for nerves, reducing pressure on the discs, and increasing blood flow for healing.

How NSSD Works for Spinal Stenosis

Our advanced DRX 9000 spinal decompression machines—the most researched and effective decompression technology available—are specifically designed to relieve nerve compression caused by spinal stenosis. The treatment is:
Completely non-invasive – No surgery, no needles, no medications
Relaxing and comfortable – Many patients even fall asleep during sessions
Highly effective – Backed by research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic
Designed to restore mobility and function – Helps improve posture, flexibility, and overall spinal health

During the session, the DRX 9000 gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure to relieve compression, allowing oxygen and nutrients to flow into the discs and nerves. Patients lie comfortably on the machine while the treatment is precisely calibrated for their specific condition.
