Severe Lower Back Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA

Severe Lower Back Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA

Severe lower back pain can quietly take over your life. For many people in La Jolla, it starts as stiffness or discomfort — and then progresses into pain that interferes with walking, sleeping, exercising, working, or enjoying time with family.

If you’re searching for Severe Lower Back Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA, there’s a strong chance you’ve already tried chiropractic care, physical therapy, medications, injections, or even been told surgery is the next step. Unfortunately, many of those approaches fail to address one of the most common underlying causes of severe pain: spinal disc and nerve compression.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC focuses almost exclusively on resolving severe lower back pain using True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000, combined with precise rehabilitation and spinal stability protocols designed to help results last.


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

Lower back pain becomes severe when compression inside the spine is not adequately reduced. In many patients, pain persists because:

Stretching, adjustments, injections, and medication may temporarily calm symptoms, but without addressing disc pressure and biomechanics, pain often returns.

This is why patients looking for Severe Lower Back Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA often seek out advanced decompression-based care.


How DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Targets the Root Cause

True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 is designed to gently and specifically reduce pressure within the spinal discs. By lowering disc pressure in a controlled manner, decompression can:

At Dr. Boelk’s clinic, decompression is never a stand-alone service. Each plan integrates:

This comprehensive approach is what separates outcomes — and why patients from La Jolla and beyond seek care here.


Real Patient Experiences

“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”

Toni H., San Diego, CA

Why this matters: Toni had exhausted multiple treatment options and was preparing for surgery. Her experience highlights how properly delivered decompression can succeed where other therapies fail.


“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. Have had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 plus months, no pills helped and on track for multiple shots but with the treatment given I have found relief and down to zero pain. As a firefighter that relies on his body to help others and the results I have experienced it's totally worth looking into what Dr. Boelk can do for you.”

Joshua T., San Diego, CA

Why this matters: Joshua’s case demonstrates how severe lower back pain can affect physically demanding professions — and how restoring spinal function can be critical for returning to work safely.


“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 sub par 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!”

Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA

Why this matters: Michael’s experience underscores the importance of both equipment quality and provider expertise when treating severe spinal conditions.


**“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 adjuments and excersises. 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 1st. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.
I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!”**
Jayson Yavorsky, San Diego, CA

Why this matters: Jayson’s story reflects long-term, lifestyle-level change — not just symptom relief — and the importance of honesty in determining who is and is not a candidate for care.
