Severe Lower Back Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

Severe lower back pain often develops gradually, then reaches a point where it becomes impossible to ignore. Many people in La Jolla find that pain begins interfering with daily movement, exercise, sleep, and work—sometimes progressing to the point where even standing upright or walking comfortably feels overwhelming.

When lower back pain becomes constant or progressively worse, it is rarely just muscular. In most cases, the pain is being driven by spinal disc compression, disc injury, or irritation of nearby nerves. Without addressing that pressure directly, symptoms often persist despite rest, medication, or basic care.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC specializes in helping patients with disc-related lower back pain find relief without surgery using advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and a structured corrective approach.

Why Disc-Related Lower Back Pain Is So Limiting

Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. When a disc becomes compressed, dehydrated, or injured, it can no longer function properly. This often results in:

• Persistent or worsening low back pain

• Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for extended periods

• Pain that increases with bending or lifting

• Tightness or pain spreading into the hips or legs

• Recurrent flare-ups that never fully resolve

Because discs have limited blood supply, healing is slow when compression remains present. This is why many patients are told to “wait and see,” only to find that time alone does not correct the problem.

A Non-Surgical Approach Focused on Reducing Disc Pressure

Dr. Boelk is a Board-Certified Doctor of Chiropractic and a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor who has spent nearly two decades focusing almost exclusively on disc and nerve-related spinal conditions. His clinic is known for helping patients who want to avoid surgery by addressing the mechanical cause of pain rather than masking symptoms.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is designed to:

• Reduce pressure within injured discs

• Improve disc hydration and nutrient exchange

• Decrease irritation of spinal nerves

• Create an environment where disc healing can begin

This clinic uses only DRX9000 spinal decompression machines, widely regarded as the most advanced decompression systems available. With 7 DRX9000 machines in one clinic, it is the largest known spinal decompression center in California.

Why Experience and Protocols Matter

Spinal decompression is not a generic treatment. Outcomes depend on:

• Correct identification of the injured disc level

• Proper force, angle, and cycle progression

• Careful monitoring of patient response

• Integration with movement and stability correction

Dr. Boelk personally evaluates each patient to determine whether decompression is appropriate and designs protocols based on imaging, examination findings, and functional limitations. This level of precision is why patients travel from throughout California, other states, and overseas to receive care.

Patient Stories of Severe Lower Back Pain Relief

“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve. I was scheduled for injections and surgery evaluations—but I never needed them.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight, and exercising again. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative.”
— Amanda, San Diego, CA

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and the exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”
— Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA

Passive Care Plus Active Correction for Lasting Relief

While spinal decompression plays a key role in reducing disc pressure, Dr. Boelk emphasizes that long-term relief requires correcting the movement patterns that overload the spine. As pain improves, patients are guided through:

• Core and hip stability training

• Postural and movement education

• A gradual return to strength and activity

This combined approach helps protect healing discs and reduce the likelihood of future flare-ups.
