Severe Lower Back Pain Relief Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA
Severe lower back pain can slowly erode quality of life. Many people in and around Kearny Mesa describe a pattern where pain starts intermittently, then becomes more frequent, more intense, and eventually constant. Simple activities—sitting at a desk, driving, standing up, or sleeping through the night—can become exhausting or unbearable.
When lower back pain reaches this level, it is rarely just muscular. In most cases, the underlying issue involves spinal disc compression, irritation of nearby nerves, or failed healing of a disc injury that was never fully corrected.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC focuses on identifying and correcting these disc-related problems using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and structured rehabilitation—without surgery.
Why Severe Lower Back Pain Persists
Lower back pain that does not resolve with rest, stretching, or basic care often involves structural disc changes, including:
-
Disc bulges or herniations
-
Loss of disc height and hydration
-
Disc injuries that worsen with sitting or bending
-
Nerve irritation that causes sharp, deep, or radiating pain
When spinal discs remain compressed, blood flow and nutrient exchange are reduced. This limits the disc’s ability to heal and often leads to worsening symptoms over time—even when patients “take it easy” or try multiple forms of conservative care.
A Non-Surgical Solution Focused on Disc Healing
Dr. Boelk is a Board-Certified Doctor of Chiropractic and a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor who has spent nearly two decades working almost exclusively with disc and nerve-related spinal conditions. His clinic has become a referral destination for patients who want to avoid surgery and are looking for a precise, evidence-based alternative.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is designed to:
-
Reduce pressure inside the damaged disc
-
Improve disc hydration and nutrient delivery
-
Decrease mechanical stress on irritated nerves
-
Create conditions that allow the disc to begin healing
This clinic uses only DRX9000 spinal decompression machines, which are widely regarded as the most advanced decompression systems available. With 7 DRX9000 machines under one roof, this is the largest known spinal decompression center in California.
Why Decompression Success Depends on the Doctor
Spinal decompression is not a generic treatment. Results depend on:
-
Correct identification of the injured disc level
-
Proper force progression and cycle programming
-
Precise positioning and angle selection
-
Integration with stability and movement correction
Dr. Boelk personally evaluates each patient and determines whether decompression is appropriate. Protocols are customized based on imaging, examination findings, and functional limitations. This level of precision is why patients routinely travel from other parts of California, other states, and even overseas to receive care.
Real Patient Outcomes
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA

— Brian Perrotta, San Diego, CA
Passive Relief Is Only Part of the Solution
While spinal decompression is essential for reducing disc pressure, long-term success requires addressing the underlying mechanics that stress the spine. As pain improves, patients are guided through:
-
Core and hip stabilization
-
Postural correction and movement education
-
Gradual reintroduction of strength and activity
This combined passive + active approach is designed to help relief last, not just temporarily reduce symptoms.
