Pinched Nerve and Lower Back Treatment – Kearny Mesa, CA

Lower back pain and pinched nerves can make even simple daily movements feel overwhelming. Whether the pain shoots down your leg, keeps you awake at night, or makes it difficult to sit, stand, walk, or work, you’re not alone. These problems are extremely common in Kearny Mesa, and many people are looking for fast, non-surgical solutions that actually fix the underlying cause—not just mask the symptoms.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk, DC has spent nearly 21 years specializing exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist with thousands of hours spent rehabilitating both his own neck and back injuries as well as his patients’, he focuses on helping people get relief quickly and avoid unnecessary surgery.

Why Pinched Nerves Happen

A pinched nerve in the lower back is often caused by:

• A bulging or herniated disc

• Disc dehydration or degeneration

• Compression of the spinal discs from years of sitting or physical stress

• Sciatic nerve irritation

• Poor core stability or hip mobility

• Repetitive strain or past injuries

When a disc loses height or shifts out of position, it can press on sensitive nerves. This is what causes burning, shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness into the hip, leg, foot, or toes.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Helps

True spinal decompression—performed on the DRX9000—creates a gentle, controlled pull on the spine. This reduces pressure inside the disc, allowing it to rehydrate, reposition, and take pressure off the nerves.

When performed correctly with the right machine and individualized settings, decompression:

• Reduces inflammation

• Restores disc height

• Relieves nerve pressure

• Improves spinal mobility

• Allows the body to heal naturally

Dr. Boelk uses the same protocols he teaches to doctors worldwide through the Spinal Decompression Training Academy. His office is also home to 7 DRX9000 machines, making it the largest known decompression center in California.

Patient Success Stories

Testimonial 1

“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA

Summary:
Anthony avoided a second surgery and returned to normal life because decompression relieved pressure on his sciatic nerve quickly and safely.

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk.
After treatment I am back to shoveling snow, teaching school, taking walks. So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”

Testimonial 3

“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.
I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.
The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.
The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”
— Abel T., San Diego, CA

Summary:
Abel experienced near-immediate relief and long-term recovery after decompression eliminated his sciatic nerve pain and allowed him to start strengthening again.

“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 sub par 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. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!”
