Spinal Decompression Back Therapy in San Diego, CA

 

If you're struggling with ongoing back pain, disc issues, or nerve compression, you’ve likely tried a range of options—medications, physical therapy, or even considered surgery. But there’s a highly effective, non-invasive solution that continues to help thousands: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy (NSSD).

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we provide advanced spinal decompression therapy using the DRX9000—a cutting-edge, research-backed system that helps patients recover without drugs, injections, or surgery.

 

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)?

NSSD is a gentle, computer-guided therapy that creates negative pressure within your spinal discs. This process:

• Retracts herniated or bulging disc material
• Reduces disc pressure
• Promotes fluid, oxygen, and nutrient flow into damaged discs
• Relieves pressure on nearby nerves

The result? Less pain, improved function, and faster healing.

We only use the DRX9000, which is supported by research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic—making it the most trusted spinal decompression technology available.

 

What Conditions Does NSSD Help?

Spinal decompression is highly effective for a range of disc-related and nerve-related issues, including:

• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica
• Pinched nerves
• Chronic lower back or neck pain
• Failed back surgery (non-fusion cases)

 

Why Not All Spinal Decompression Is the Same

Many people don’t realize that spinal decompression—like any treatment—is only as effective as the doctor delivering it.

• Not every clinic uses true spinal decompression (some use outdated traction devices)
• Even when using the right equipment, results depend on proper settings, diagnosis, and treatment protocols
• Successful treatment requires personalization, not one-size-fits-all care

Just like any medical tool, the DRX9000 is only effective when it’s used correctly, by an experienced provider, and in conjunction with the right therapy strategy.

 

Why Active and Passive Care Are Both Needed

To get long-term relief, you must treat both the cause and the symptoms. That’s why we combine:

• Passive therapy: spinal decompression, joint mobility, and tissue healing
• Active therapy: core stability, hip strength, postural retraining, and movement correction

This full-body approach creates stability and prevents future problems, helping you move and live pain-free.

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, I found spinal decompression. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk. After a consultation where I felt heard and never rushed, I committed to the plan. I am so glad I did."
— Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA
