Severe Low Back Pain Treatment Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA

Severe low back pain can quickly take control of your life. Standing, walking, bending, getting out of bed, or even sleeping through the night can become difficult and exhausting. Many people in Kearny Mesa, CA dealing with intense low back pain are told their only options are pain medications, spinal injections, or surgery.

That isn’t always true.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC specializes in treating severe low back pain caused by spinal disc compression, disc bulges, disc herniations, and nerve irritation—without surgery.

Patients often come in after weeks or months of worsening pain, frustrated that nothing has worked. Many are relieved to learn there may be a safe, non-surgical option focused on correcting the root cause of their pain.

Why Severe Low Back Pain Often Gets Worse

Severe low back pain is rarely random or purely muscular. In most cases, it develops because spinal discs are under constant compression. Common contributing factors include:

• Disc compression from prolonged sitting or repetitive stress

• Disc bulges or herniations irritating spinal nerves

• Loss of disc hydration and disc height

• Temporary relief from injections without structural correction

• Traditional chiropractic or physical therapy that does not reduce disc pressure

When pressure inside the disc is not relieved, inflammation and nerve irritation persist. Medications may mask symptoms, but they do not fix the underlying mechanical problem.

This is where true Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression becomes critical.

How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Helps Severe Low Back Pain

Dr. Boelk uses FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression machines, the most researched and clinically effective decompression technology available.

Unlike basic traction or inversion tables, DRX9000 spinal decompression is computer-controlled and designed to:

1. Reduce pressure inside the spinal disc

2. Create a negative pressure environment that helps draw fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc

3. Relieve nerve compression that causes sharp pain, stiffness, or limited movement

4. Support natural disc healing instead of continued breakdown

This approach is particularly effective for patients whose low back pain is severe, persistent, or progressively worsening.

Why Experience and Precision Matter

Spinal decompression is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Results depend on:

• Proper case selection

• Accurate diagnosis

• Correct machine settings

• Gradual, individualized progression

• Ongoing evaluation and adjustments

Dr. Boelk has spent nearly 21 years specializing exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and has personally overseen over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments. This level of experience is especially important for patients dealing with severe pain who cannot afford guesswork.

What Patients with Severe Low Back Pain Are Saying

“I came in with extreme back pain, resulting in days were it was difficult to get out of bed. There were moments where I would be walking and then my back would lock up. I thought it was something I have dealt with in the past but this last the entire month of July. I finally dedicated myself to finding the long term solution.
I came to Dr. Boelk unsure about the process, but after he identified exactly what my ailment was, I felt confident that this was the long term solution I was looking for.
I instantly felt better and Dr. Boelk kept encouraging me to trust the process and understand it will take time to feel 100%. I am now pain free and honestly feel stronger, even a little taller. I highly recommend you visit Dr. Boelk.”
— Ming T., San Diego, CA

“Dr Boelk is highly knowledgeable and has made a difference in my life.
I have a degenerative bone issue in my lower back. Spinal decompression is the only way that gives me relief all the way to my feet. I highly recommend
the Spinal Decompression center.”
— Dee M., Peoria, AZ

“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.
I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.
The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.
The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”
— Abel T., San Diego, CA

“This place is amazing, the staff is friendly and I’d recommend this place to anyone who needs it.
I recently discharged from the military with quite a few injuries and extremely bad back pain. Since then I have seen dozens of incompetent doctors whose only interest was selling me the next pill or vaccine.
Dr. Boelk is not one of those doctors. This man is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients. I have had nothing short of a great experience in this office. His nurse Megan is also very polite and caring for their patients.
These days it is very difficult to find a genuine medical professional, so when I do find them I feel that the world needs to know. This man is a good dude.”
— Donnie M., San Diego, CA

“Had terrible low back pain last year, had gone with a traditional chiropractor but didn’t feel it was doing much.
Went to this place and after talking to Dr Boelk decided to try spinal decompression therapy. After 3 session my pain was almost completely gone.
The staff is very professional and friendly. A big plus is how you get to go at your appointment time instead of waiting.
I would say the only negative is that is not covered by insurance so you have to pay out of pocket but it you can afford it is 100% worth it.”
— Edgar R., San Diego, CA

“The Doc is the best he has brought my back from the most horrible back pain I ever had his expertise with decompression is the best and would refer him to anybody that goes through back and neck issues I am so glad I found him thank you so much Doc”
— Jose Mejia, San Diego, CA
