Severe Low Back Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

Find Lasting Relief Through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

If you’re living in La Jolla, CA, and struggling with severe low back pain, you know how much it can interfere with your life. Simple movements like sitting, walking, or sleeping can feel impossible, and many people are told surgery is their only option.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from La Jolla, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients get out of pain and back to living their lives—without surgery, injections, or medication.

Through FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System, Dr. Boelk and his team are able to target the root cause of severe low back pain by gently decompressing the spine, reducing nerve pressure, and restoring natural disc function.

Dr. Boelk has performed over 75,000 spinal decompression treatments, making him one of the most experienced decompression doctors in the country. Patients travel from across the U.S. and around the world to receive care at his San Diego office.

💡 Why Severe Back Pain Doesn’t Heal on Its Own

When spinal discs lose height or become herniated, the pressure on nearby nerves can cause pain, numbness, and radiating leg symptoms. While chiropractic care, stretching, or rest may provide short-term relief, these approaches rarely fix the underlying disc compression.

Common causes of chronic and severe low back pain include:

• Herniated or bulging lumbar discs

• Degenerative disc disease

• Sciatica and nerve impingement

• Failed back surgery (no metal implants)

• Facet joint irritation and inflammation

• Loss of spinal stability or disc height

Without addressing the root mechanical cause—disc and nerve compression—the pain will usually persist or worsen over time.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

The DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System is the most advanced and research-supported decompression technology available today. It works by gently creating negative pressure inside the spinal discs, allowing them to draw in oxygen, water, and nutrients while relieving pressure from inflamed nerves.

This process helps the discs naturally rehydrate, regain height, and reduce herniation or bulging. Each treatment is custom-calibrated to the patient’s specific condition, spinal level, and comfort level.

Unlike general traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 isolates and decompresses targeted spinal segments with precision, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

“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. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!”

“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.
Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 Hard which requires not one but 2 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!
I’m so thankful I found this place. It’s conveniently located near my work, which makes it easy to fit sessions into my lunch break. Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite—it’s always a pleasure to come in.
The environment is so relaxing that I look forward to each visit. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”

“There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life.
It was a regular routine of adjustments and exercises. A change of life patterns but 110% worth every effort. I have since had my wife, daughter, mother, father and multiple friends and clients visit Dr. Boelk. All thanking me for the referral. Last one was my firefighting friend that had horrible sciatica. He is now on the recovery train.
So without a doubt, if you are on the verge of surgery, don't do it until you give this Dr a chance to examine you first. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.
I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!”
