San Diego Chiropractor Disc Degeneration Help

A Proven, Non-Surgical Path to Relief with Spinal Decompression Therapy

If you’ve been suffering from chronic low back pain, stiffness, or sciatica, there’s a good chance the underlying cause is disc degeneration—a very common condition that worsens over time and often leads people to consider spinal surgery. But before you take that step, know this:

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, we offer a proven, non-surgical solution that has helped thousands of patients find lasting relief—even those who have tried injections, medications, and surgery without success.

🧠 What Causes Disc Degeneration—and Why It Hurts

Your spinal discs act as natural shock absorbers between your vertebrae. Over time, due to age, wear and tear, poor posture, injuries, or muscle imbalances, these discs can start to dry out, shrink, or bulge. This degeneration causes:

• Pinched or compressed nerves

• Radiating pain (sciatica)

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness

• Loss of mobility

• Chronic inflammation

Many patients are told surgery is the only option. But in most cases, surgery doesn’t fix the root issue: disc compression.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

Unlike standard chiropractic adjustments, NSSD with the DRX9000 offers a targeted, research-backed approach to actually reduce disc pressure and help discs heal. Here’s how it works:

• You lie comfortably on the DRX9000 decompression table, a computer-controlled system that gently stretches and decompresses your spine

• The process creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract away from nerves

• Fresh nutrients and oxygen are pulled back into the disc space, promoting healing and rehydration

• There’s no pain, no drugs, no injections—just a calm, precise, and highly effective treatment

This therapy is supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic. And it’s the reason our clinic has become the largest provider of spinal decompression in California, with seven DRX9000 machines and over 50,000 sessions performed.

🧩 Why Adjustments Alone Aren’t Enough

Standard chiropractic adjustments can offer temporary relief, but they don’t decompress the discs or address long-standing biomechanical dysfunction. Our care is fully customized to each patient and combines:

• Passive therapy (DRX9000 spinal decompression)

• Active therapy (core stability, posture correction, rehab exercises)

• Mobility training to improve movement and prevent re-injury

• One-on-one attention from Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a leading expert in disc and nerve conditions

💥 Can Spinal Decompression Help If You’ve Already Had Surgery?

In many cases, yes. We’ve successfully helped patients who still had pain after spinal surgery—as long as they haven’t had a full metal spinal fusion. If there’s still movement in your spine, decompression therapy can still work to relieve nerve pressure and restore disc health.
