Spinal Decompression Near Me – La Jolla, CA

 

True Non-Surgical Relief for Disc Herniations, Sciatica & Chronic Back Pain Using the DRX9000

 

People in La Jolla searching “spinal decompression near me” are typically dealing with stubborn, recurring, or severe pain that has not improved with traditional treatments. Many have tried chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, injections, medications, or stretching routines—yet still struggle with disc bulges, herniations, sciatica, or nerve pain.

 

This is why so many La Jolla residents come to The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes away in Kearny Mesa.

Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy. He has spent nearly 21 years specializing exclusively in true Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the DRX9000, the most researched spinal decompression system available. With over 75,000 treatments performed and seven DRX9000 tables, his clinic is one of the largest and most experienced decompression centers in California.

Patients travel from La Jolla, across San Diego County, out of state, and even internationally for his DRX9000-specific protocols.

 

⭐ Why La Jolla Patients Choose the DRX9000

The DRX9000 is not traction, inversion, or a basic decompression device. It uses advanced computerized algorithms and angle-specific targeting to create negative intradiscal pressure, which can:

• Retract disc bulges and herniations
• Reduce nerve compression
• Improve disc hydration
• Reduce sciatica, burning, numbness, and tingling
• Restore normal movement and function

These outcomes are supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

La Jolla patients choose this clinic because they want precise, research-backed treatment, not generic traction or guesswork.

 

⭐ A Clinical Approach Built for Real, Lasting Results

Every decompression plan is designed from:

• Your MRI
• Your structural findings
• Your nerve symptoms
• Your movement limitations
• Your overall spine biomechanics

Dr. Boelk combines decompression with corrective exercises to restore stability and prevent future flare-ups. His personal experience recovering from serious spine injuries gives patients a doctor who truly understands the process.

 

⭐ Not Everyone Is a Candidate for Spinal Decompression

This is critical.

Some people should not receive decompression, including individuals with:

• Unhealed spinal fractures
• Certain metal implants
• Structural instability
• Specific medical contraindications
• Severe conditions requiring different medical intervention

Are You a Candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?
Not everyone qualifies. Patients with certain types of structural damage, metal implants, or instability may not be candidates. Your MRI, exam, and nerve findings determine eligibility.

Dr. Boelk’s commitment:
If he cannot help you, he will tell you immediately and point you in the right direction.

The testimonials below show both sides—patients who were candidates and patients who were not.

 

⭐ REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

(FULL original wording for all six testimonials — exactly as you provided them.)

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #1 — ANTHONY K., SAN DIEGO, CA

**“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.

What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”**

Summary:
Anthony’s experience shows that even after spinal surgery and severe sciatic nerve compression, the DRX9000 can produce meaningful, life-changing relief without more surgery.

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #2 — LISA S., UNITED KINGDOM

“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

Summary:
Lisa’s willingness to fly internationally for care emphasizes the trust and expertise patients attribute to Dr. Boelk and the DRX9000 system—especially those with multi-level disc injuries.

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #3 — AMANDA, SAN DIEGO, CA

**“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.

In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.

Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.

Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 hard which requires not one but 2 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!

I’m so thankful I found this place. It’s conveniently located near my work, which makes it easy to fit sessions into my lunch break. Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite—it’s always a pleasure to come in.

The environment is so relaxing that I look forward to each visit. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”**

Summary:
Amanda avoided injections and surgery entirely. Her dramatic improvement—from cane use and severe nerve pain to completing two workouts a day—shows how powerful decompression can be for severe disc extrusion.

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #4 — BRIAN PERROTTA, SAN DIEGO, CA

“I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

Summary:
Brian’s story reinforces how individualized DRX9000 protocols can dramatically reduce sciatica and herniated disc pain while restoring quality of life.

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #5 — KAITELYN H., SAN DIEGO, CA

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”

Summary:
Kaitelyn shows how DRX9000 decompression combined with corrective exercise leads to long-term relief, increased mobility, and renewed activity.

 

⭐ TESTIMONIAL #6 — JAN H., SAN MARCOS, CA

“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocoss neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion form another neurosurgeon. My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!”

Summary:
Jan’s case proves Dr. Boelk’s integrity. Even though Jan was not a candidate due to an unhealed neck fracture, he received expert guidance, a clear explanation, and support—not pressure. This is rare in healthcare and underscores the clinic’s honesty.
