Spinal Decompression Chiropractors in San Diego, CA – Why We Use the DRX9000 and a Full-Body Approach for Lasting Relief

If you're looking for a spinal decompression chiropractor in San Diego, it's important to know that not all decompression treatments are created equal. While spinal decompression is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for disc injuries and nerve-related pain, its success depends entirely on how it's applied—and by whom.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we’ve helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and get lasting pain relief by using a highly specialized Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) protocol that combines cutting-edge technology, customized settings, and a tailored treatment plan for each individual.

Why We Use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)

Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine in a way that reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves. This process:

• Relieves pressure from bulging, herniated, or degenerated discs

• Allows herniated material to retract away from nerve roots

• Restores fluid, nutrients, and oxygen to the injured disc

• Helps calm nerve irritation and reduce pain

• Improves healing in a way that medication, injections, or basic traction cannot

Conditions We Commonly Treat with NSSD

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is effective for a wide range of spine and nerve-related issues, including:

• Disc bulges and herniations

• Degenerative disc disease (DDD)

• Sciatica / nerve impingement

• Spinal stenosis

• Chronic neck or low back pain

• Post-surgical spine pain (without fusion)

• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)

Why We ONLY Use the DRX9000

While there are many spinal decompression machines available, we exclusively use the DRX9000—a top-tier, FDA-cleared system supported by research from:

• Stanford University

• Johns Hopkins

• Duke Medical Center

• Mayo Clinic

The DRX9000 offers unmatched precision, safety, and comfort. It allows us to control:

• The angle and depth of decompression

• The rate of pull and release

• The exact disc level being targeted

But as powerful as the DRX9000 is, it’s just a tool. And like any tool, results depend on how it’s used.

It’s Not Just the Machine—It’s the Process

What truly sets our clinic apart is the way we use decompression therapy. Every patient receives:

1. Customized Decompression Settings

Each case is unique. We tailor decompression protocols based on your condition, disc level, spinal structure, and symptoms. Cookie-cutter approaches do not work.

2. Pre- and Post-Therapy Integration

Before and after each decompression session, we use specific soft tissue work, vibration therapy, or neuromuscular reactivation techniques to help the spine respond more effectively to treatment.

3. Active Therapy Programs

We combine decompression with individually designed rehab exercises to correct imbalances, strengthen core and spinal stabilizers, and improve posture and mobility—essential for long-term success.

– Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA

"Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally. I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk."
– Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

"I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots, my primary doctor told me surgery might be my only option. I wanted to avoid surgery at all costs. After committing to Dr. Boelk’s spinal decompression plan, I am now completely pain-free! I plan to continue maintenance sessions to keep myself feeling great."
– Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA
