Severe Neck Pain Relief Without Surgery – San Diego, CA
Severe neck pain can be life-altering. When pain is constant, worsens with movement, or begins traveling into the shoulders, arms, or hands, it often signals disc-related compression in the cervical spine. Many people are told injections or surgery are the next step—yet in many cases, surgery is not necessary when the problem is addressed correctly.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC focuses specifically on disc and nerve-related neck pain, using advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) to reduce pressure on cervical discs and calm irritated nerves—without surgery.
Why Severe Neck Pain Happens
The cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae separated by discs that allow movement and absorb stress. Over time, or following injury, prolonged sitting, poor posture, or trauma, these discs can lose hydration, bulge, or herniate. When that occurs, nearby nerves may become compressed.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent or sharp neck pain
- Pain radiating into the shoulder, arm, or hand
- Numbness or tingling in the fingers
- Weakness or reduced grip strength
- Neck stiffness and limited mobility
- Headaches originating at the base of the skull
Treatments that do not reduce disc pressure often provide only short-term relief.
Neck Pain Relief Without Surgery: Why Disc Decompression Matters
True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is not basic traction. When performed correctly using FDA-cleared DRX9000 technology, decompression creates controlled pull cycles that lower pressure inside the disc itself.
This process can:
- Reduce pressure within compressed cervical discs
- Encourage bulging or herniated disc material to retract
- Improve disc hydration and nutrient exchange
- Decrease irritation of cervical nerve roots
The goal is not simply symptom relief—but restoring a healthier disc environment so healing can occur.

Why Patients Seek Out Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC
Dr. Boelk’s practice is structured very differently from a general chiropractic or physical therapy office. Care is centered almost exclusively on spinal decompression and disc-related cases, allowing for a level of precision and experience that general clinics simply cannot match.
Importantly, decompression is treated as a passive therapy that must be paired with active rehabilitation—including spinal biomechanics education, postural correction, and stability work—so results last long after care is completed.
Patients routinely travel from out of state and internationally to seek this level of focused expertise.
Who Is a Candidate for Cervical Spinal Decompression?
Not everyone qualifies, and that is intentional. During a no-charge consultation, Dr. Boelk evaluates:
- Clinical exam findings
- Neurological and orthopedic testing
- MRI or X-ray imaging when available
- Symptom history and prior response to care
If decompression is not appropriate, patients are told honestly. The priority is the right care, not simply enrolling patients.
