Pain Treatment for a Herniated Disc San Diego, CA

Living with a herniated disc can make simple activities like sitting, standing, or bending excruciating. Many San Diego residents describe sharp, shooting pain down the back or legs, weakness, or numbness that lingers despite trying medication, injections, or even considering surgery. Fortunately, there is a proven, non-surgical solution that has helped thousands avoid invasive procedures.

“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff. They have the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with subpar machines and didn’t get any benefit. After about 12 sessions, my sciatica was gone and I was almost back to normal.” – Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA

🔎 What is a Herniated Disc?

Your spinal discs act like cushions between the bones of the spine. A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion pushes through the tougher outer shell, often compressing nearby nerves. This leads to radiating pain, tingling, or weakness — especially into the hips, legs, or arms. If left untreated, these issues can become chronic, limiting work, sleep, and quality of life.

✅ Why Herniated Disc Pain Treatment in San Diego Works Here

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system. Unlike traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 gently creates negative pressure inside the disc, pulling herniated material back toward the center and restoring healing circulation.

“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried everything. After two failed cortisone shots, even my doctor suggested surgery. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff. After 18 treatments, I’m pain free — no meds, no surgery, just following his plan.” – Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA

⚖️ Passive + Active Care Combined

While decompression therapy is powerful, lasting results come from combining it with active therapies like stability exercises, posture correction, and mobility training. This ensures discs heal while the spine gains the strength and support to prevent flare-ups.

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for hours daily to living normally again and even building up my exercise capacity. The staff are caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my back.” – Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA
