Severe Low Back Pain Relief Without Surgery San Diego, CA

If you’re suffering from severe low back pain in San Diego, and you're trying to avoid surgery, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of people experience debilitating pain that interferes with their ability to work, move, and live their lives—many of whom are told surgery is their only option. Fortunately, that is not always the case.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers a highly effective, non-surgical treatment program that has helped many patients finally find relief—especially those who didn’t respond to other therapies.

What Causes Severe Low Back Pain?

While there can be multiple causes of back pain, many of the most severe and persistent cases are disc-related. Some of the most common underlying issues include:

• Disc bulges or herniations

• Disc protrusions

• Compressed or “pinched” spinal nerves

• Degenerative disc disease

• Postural compression or trauma

In these cases, the spinal disc itself is putting pressure on a nerve, causing inflammation, pain, muscle guarding, and even radiating symptoms into the hips, legs, or feet.

Why Surgery Isn't Always Necessary

While surgery may be appropriate in some extreme cases, many patients are able to avoid it entirely with the right combination of conservative care. That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

NSSD is designed to treat the root cause of many disc-related conditions—by gently relieving pressure on the discs and nerves.

At Dr. Boelk’s San Diego clinic, patients are treated using only the DRX9000, the most advanced and research-supported spinal decompression system available today. The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared and supported by studies from institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

Here’s how it works:

• The DRX9000 gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner

• This creates negative pressure inside the disc

• The bulging or herniated portion of the disc can retract inward

• Nerve pressure is reduced, allowing inflammation to settle

• Fresh blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients re-enter the disc space to promote healing

The treatment is comfortable, safe, and non-invasive, with no downtime or recovery period.

Why We Combine Decompression with Active Therapy

Although spinal decompression is powerful, lasting results require more than just passive care.

Dr. Boelk combines decompression with active therapy protocols to:

• Strengthen the core and spinal stabilizers

• Improve hip and spine mobility

• Re-train posture and movement patterns

• Prevent future flare-ups and instability

This full-body approach is what helps patients not only feel better—but stay better.
