San Diego’s Best Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Clinic

 

Trusted, Proven Relief Without Surgery or Drugs

If you're suffering from chronic back or neck pain, disc injuries, sciatica, or spinal stenosis, and want to avoid invasive procedures, you're not alone. Every year, thousands of people seek alternatives to back surgery, injections, or long-term pain medications—and many are finding lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has been helping patients eliminate pain and restore their lives for over 20 years, using a comprehensive, advanced, and personalized approach to spinal healing that includes—but goes far beyond—NSSD.

 

Conditions We Successfully Treat

We specialize in treating a wide range of spinal and disc-related conditions, including:

• Herniated Discs
• Bulging Discs
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Sciatica / Pinched Nerves
• Spinal Stenosis
• Chronic Low Back Pain or Neck Pain
• Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
• Radiculopathy (pain radiating into arms or legs)
• Facet Joint Syndrome

If your condition is due to disc or nerve compression, there's a very high likelihood that you're a candidate for our advanced, non-surgical protocols.

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

NSSD works by gently and precisely decompressing the spine using our state-of-the-art DRX 9000 decompression systems—the gold standard in spinal decompression therapy.

The treatment creates negative pressure within the spinal disc, which allows:

• Herniated or bulging disc material to retract away from nerves
• Improved disc hydration and nutrient delivery
• Reduced inflammation
• Decompression of spinal nerves—the true source of pain

Studies from respected institutions like Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinichave supported the effectiveness of properly delivered NSSD.

 

Not All Spinal Decompression Is Created Equal

Many clinics claim to offer spinal decompression—but in reality, are using basic traction tables or outdated equipment that don’t deliver true decompression.

At our clinic, we use only DRX 9000 machines, the most advanced and researched spinal decompression technology available. We are the largest provider of spinal decompression in California, with 7 DRX 9000 machines and over 50,000 sessions performed.

Each patient receives a custom-tailored program, with specific settingsbased on their spinal condition, body type, and response to treatment—not a generic pull setting or “one-size-fits-all” program.

 

NSSD is Just One Piece of the Puzzle

 

While spinal decompression is highly effective at relieving disc and nerve pressure, lasting relief requires more than just passive therapy. That’s why Dr. Boelk integrates a full spectrum of active therapies and movement retraining, including:

1. Spinal Mobility Training

To restore healthy, pain-free movement of each spinal segment and reduce compensation patterns that lead to re-injury.

2. Spinal Stability Work

Strengthening the core, hips, and postural stabilizers to protect the spine and maintain alignment and mobility.

3. Biomechanical Corrections

Teaching patients how to move properly—how to sit, stand, bend, lift, and twist with proper form—to prevent disc re-compression and future injury.

4. Personalized Home Care

Custom mobility, strengthening, and stretching routines to continue healing outside the clinic and create long-term independence from pain.

This comprehensive system is what separates short-term relief from real recovery.
