Non-Surgical Treatments for Degenerative Disc Disease – Tierrasanta, CA

Real Relief Without Surgery Using Advanced DRX9000 Spinal Decompression

Living in or near Tierrasanta and dealing with constant back or neck pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)? You’re not alone—and you may not need surgery to feel better.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we provide an advanced, non-invasive solution that’s helped thousands of patients avoid back surgery and reclaim their lives. Through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX9000 system, we target the root of the problem: spinal disc degeneration and nerve compression.

Our clinic is led by Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, one of California’s most trusted spinal decompression doctors with over 65,000 treatments performed.

What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative Disc Disease is a progressive breakdown of the spinal discs, often caused by aging, repetitive strain, poor posture, or injury. As these discs lose hydration and structure, they collapse or bulge—compressing nerves and triggering symptoms such as:

• Chronic pain in the low back or neck

• Sciatica, tingling, or shooting pain

• Decreased mobility or flexibility

• Muscle spasms and stiffness

• Loss of disc height and joint stability

These issues can severely impact daily activities and quality of life—especially when left untreated.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps

NSSD works by gently stretching the spine in a way that relieves pressure from discs and nerves, creating a vacuum effect that draws hydration and nutrients back into the disc space. This treatment is completely non-invasive, requires no downtime, and helps the body heal naturally.

Benefits of the DRX9000 Approach:

1. Gently separates vertebrae to reduce nerve pressure

2. Increases disc hydration and height

3. Reverses disc collapse without surgery

4. Improves spinal stability with rehab integration

5. Reduces inflammation and pain at the source

Every treatment plan is customized to the patient, with specific protocols, pre/post therapies, and spinal rehab to maximize healing.

Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer

Spinal fusion or disc removal may reduce pain temporarily but often leads to long recovery times, limited mobility, and future disc problems in nearby areas. We’ve seen many patients from Tierrasanta and surrounding areas avoid surgery entirely after completing NSSD at our clinic.

When surgery is truly necessary, Dr. Boelk provides referrals to top spine surgeons—because our priority is always doing what’s best for the patient.

Not Everyone Is a Candidate—and That’s a Good Thing

Not all cases of DDD are appropriate for decompression. Dr. Boelk only accepts patients he feels confident he can help. If your case isn’t a good fit, he’ll let you know up front and provide guidance on the best next steps.

That level of honesty and care is why patients travel to us from Utah, Oregon, Arizona, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom—because they know we prioritize results and integrity over everything else.
