Pain Treatment for a Herniated Disc – Chula Vista, CA

Pain Treatment for a Herniated Disc – Chula Vista, CA

Herniated disc pain affects thousands of people in Chula Vista, leaving many unable to work, sleep, or enjoy everyday life. The sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs or arms often leads patients to pain medications, injections, or even surgery. But for many, there’s a safe and proven alternative: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with subpar machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months.”

🔎 What is a Herniated Disc?

Discs are cushions between your spinal bones. When the soft center pushes through the outer shell, it irritates or compresses nerves, leading to herniated disc pain. This can cause radiating pain, tingling, weakness, or sciatica.

✅ Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC uses the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, which gently creates negative pressure inside discs. This allows herniated material to retract, circulation to improve, and healing to begin.

“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. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn’t happening he would let me know, which was not the case with other specialists. I appreciate that honesty.”

⚖️ Active + Passive Care Together

NSSD addresses the disc itself, but long-term results come from combining decompression with stability training, posture correction, and mobility work.

Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible. Sometimes Google is magic… I began to explore other options and found information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff. After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I felt heard, I decided to commit to a treatment plan. I am now pain free after 18 treatments. No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk’s recommended treatment plan.”

“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.”
