Severe Neck Pain Treatment Options in San Diego, CA

Severe Neck Pain Treatment Options in San Diego, CA

If you're dealing with severe neck pain in San Diego, you're not alone—and you're not without hope. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients find long-term relief from debilitating neck pain—without surgery, injections, or pain medications.

In most cases (though not all), severe neck pain originates from injured or compressed spinal discs in the cervical spine. These injuries can come from years of poor posture, sudden trauma, repetitive strain, or simply wear and tear. When the disc becomes injured or loses height, it often compresses nearby nerves, causing sharp, burning, radiating, or unrelenting pain into the neck, shoulders, arms, and even hands.

Why Typical Treatments Often Fail

Many patients come to us after trying traditional options like physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, injections, or prescription medications. While these treatments may provide temporary symptom relief, they don’t usually address the actual source of the problem—the compressed or damaged spinal disc.

Treating neck pain without correcting disc compression is like painting over rust—it may look better briefly, but the underlying problem continues to worsen over time. That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.

Why NSSD Is Different—and More Effective

At our San Diego spinal decompression clinic, we exclusively use the DRX9000 system—widely regarded as the most advanced and research-backed spinal decompression technology available. This FDA-cleared treatment works by gently and precisely creating negative pressure within the spinal disc, allowing it to rehydrate, reabsorb herniated material, and remove pressure from the nerve root.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression does not involve any twisting, cracking, or invasive procedures. Instead, it targets the injured disc itself—getting directly to the root cause of the problem. The result? Many of our patients finally experience meaningful, lasting relief—after months or even years of failed treatments elsewhere.


Why Patients Travel From All Over to See Dr. Boelk

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is not only a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor—he is also the founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, where he trains other doctors nationwide on advanced decompression protocols. He is a Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist and has personally performed over 65,000 spinal decompression sessions over the last 20+ years.

Dr. Boelk’s approach is not one-size-fits-all. Every patient receives a customized protocol that includes the correct frequency, intensity, and duration of NSSD as well as active rehab strategies to stabilize the spine and prevent future flare-ups.

Because of this precision and track record of results, patients regularly travel and fly in from across California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Montana, Mexico, the UK, and Spain to work with Dr. Boelk.


Real Results, Real Patients

💬 What Our Patients Say – Full Stories, Real Results

“This care has been life-changing. I gave them a second chance, and it changed my life.”
_“At first, my results weren’t what I’d hoped for, and I left a review. Dr. Boelk personally reached out, apologized, and offered a plan to move forward. I returned, and everything was different—better. I completed all 12 sessions, restarted working out, and one treatment completely stopped a pain flare-up I had from overtraining.

I haven't needed Tylenol since. My neck pain and headaches are gone. The staff is kind and truly cares. Please give them a chance—it changed my life.”_
 Julianne E., San Diego


“Dr. Boelk and his team gave me my life back.”
_“I was in so much pain I couldn’t sit down. I had to lie down just to get through work. A few weeks into treatment, I was sitting comfortably again.

Dr. Boelk is different—he’s experienced back pain himself and truly cares. Every time I came in, I felt like the only patient there. That level of attention and empathy is rare. I highly recommend him.”_
 Erin T., San Diego


“No charge. No pressure. Just integrity.”
“I came in after a motocross injury with a neck fracture and was being pressured into surgery. Dr. Boelk reviewed my MRI, explained my options, and recommended I wait until I healed before starting treatment. He didn’t charge me and advised I seek a second opinion. That’s the kind of doctor he is. I’ll be back when I’m cleared.”
 Jan H., San Diego
