Severe Low Back Pain Relief Without Surgery – San Diego, CA

Discover How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Can End Pain at the Source

If you’re struggling with severe low back pain — pain that limits your movement, interrupts your sleep, or makes even basic activities exhausting — you’re not alone. Every day, people search for real answers after trying chiropractic adjustments, pain injections, medications, or physical therapy without lasting relief.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC helps patients find true, lasting relief by addressing the root cause of their pain through FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). This advanced therapy targets disc and nerve compression — the underlying reason most severe back pain doesn’t improve with traditional care.

Patients travel from across San Diego, California, and beyond — including Mexico, the U.K., and Spain — to receive this specialized treatment from Dr. Boelk, who has performed over 75,000 decompression sessions in his 21 years of experience.

💡 Why Most Severe Back Pain Doesn’t Go Away on Its Own

Severe back pain often starts from issues within the spinal discs — bulging, herniation, or degeneration — that compress nerves and reduce the spine’s ability to move and heal naturally.

Common causes include:

When pressure on spinal nerves persists, inflammation and pain signals continue — no matter how many stretches, adjustments, or medications are used. Without reducing this compression, the pain tends to return again and again.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

Using the DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System, the most advanced and researched decompression machine available, Dr. Boelk creates a gentle vacuum effect within the spinal discs — a process called spinal imbibition.

This allows discs to:

Each treatment is 100% customized based on the patient’s spinal condition, weight, height, and symptom patterns — no two cases are treated the same.

This individualized approach is what separates real decompression (like the DRX9000) from simple traction or imitation machines. The DRX9000 has been clinically studied at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, showing measurable success rates for pain reduction and disc healing.

🌟 Real Patient Success Stories

Michael Langsdale – San Diego, CA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“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. After about 12 sessions, my sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal. I didn’t think it would ever heal, but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could finally sleep mostly pain-free. Definitely worth the investment!”

Amanda – San Diego, CA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Last year, I spent three months going between doctor’s visits and urgent care. The pain was unbearable — I was taking medication just to function. My MRI showed an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, and I was scheduled for spinal injections and surgery consultations.
Then I found spinal decompression therapy and never needed those appointments. Now I’m walking normally again, standing up straight, and even back to lifting weights as part of my fitness program.
I’m so thankful I found this place — Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and professional, and I actually look forward to coming in. It’s made such a difference in my life.”

Jayson Yavorsky – San Diego, CA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“There isn’t enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. After a year of sciatic pain, I couldn’t play hockey, golf, or surf. Nothing worked — not chiropractic, acupuncture, or physical therapy.
Then I met Dr. Boelk — and I tell people regularly, he saved my life. I’ve since had my wife, daughter, parents, and friends treated by him, all with great results.
If you’re on the verge of surgery, don’t do it until you give this doctor a chance. He’s honest, compassionate, and truly cares about helping people heal. I trust him with my life and my back — you should too.”
