Severe Neck Pain Relief Without Surgery In San Diego, CA
If you’re suffering from severe neck pain, the discomfort can be life-altering. Whether it's keeping you from sleeping, working, driving, or enjoying time with your family, the pain can become relentless. The good news? Many cases of neck pain can be effectively treated without surgery, injections, or long-term medication.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients suffering from chronic and severe neck pain using a comprehensive, non-surgical approach. The key is understanding the true cause of the pain — and then treating it with a combination of the most advanced technology and active, functional rehabilitation.
🔍 Why Most Severe Neck Pain Comes From the Discs
In many cases, severe or chronic neck pain stems from:
-
Disc bulges
-
Disc herniations
-
Disc protrusions
-
Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
These conditions can compress or irritate nearby nerves, leading to not just neck pain but also radiating symptoms such as numbness, tingling, arm weakness, or headaches. That said, not all neck pain comes from a disc issue — which is why guessing simply doesn’t work.
🧠 We Don’t Guess — We Assess
At our San Diego clinic, every patient begins with a thorough review of their health history, a detailed consultation, and a precise physical examination. If needed, we refer for advanced diagnostic imaging (such as MRI) to accurately identify the root cause of your pain.
Only after we determine the source of your neck pain can we recommend the most appropriate treatment — and if we don’t believe we can help, we’ll let you know right away.
💡 If It’s Disc Compression, Here’s Why Our Approach Works
If your pain is caused by a compressed or damaged disc, we may recommend Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX9000 cervical decompression system.
How NSSD Works:
-
Gently stretches the cervical spine in a controlled and precise way
-
Creates negative pressure inside the disc, drawing in nutrients and rehydrating the disc
-
Allows herniated or bulging material to retract, relieving nerve compression
-
Improves circulation and healing in the surrounding soft tissues
The DRX9000 is FDA-cleared and backed by research from institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.
🧠 Why Dr. Boelk Is Considered a Leading Expert

🔄 It's Not Just Passive Therapy — It's Active Recovery

-
Precise spinal decompression on the DRX9000

“I was in constant pain and could barely walk. My MRI showed a disc extrusion pressing on my L5 nerve, and I had appointments scheduled for injections and a surgical evaluation.
Then I found Dr. Boelk’s spinal decompression program and canceled both appointments. I didn’t need them.
Now, I’m back to walking, standing straight, and doing two workouts a day. I’ve even returned to weightlifting. This treatment changed my life.”
– Amanda, San Diego

"I found out about Dr. Boelk on the internet while searching for a doctor for my friend. I’ve always had back issues, so I decided to have an MRI. Dr. Boelk discovered I had a bulging disc and dehydrated discs. At first, I was scared, but my husband and I decided the investment in my health was worth it. I now travel from El Centro four times a week because of the amazing results. The staff makes you feel like family. I feel better and have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank you!"
