Spinal Decompression Therapies – San Diego, CA

Advanced Care, Proven Results, Personalized for You

If you’re struggling with chronic back pain, disc bulges, or sciatica, and you’re looking for relief that lasts — spinal decompression therapies in San Diego, CA may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has spent nearly two decades specializing exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — helping patients avoid surgery and return to normal, active lives.

What Are Spinal Decompression Therapies?

Spinal decompression therapies are advanced, computer-controlled treatments designed to gently relieve pressure from the spinal discs and nerves. By creating negative pressure within the affected discs, the spine can naturally reabsorb disc bulges or herniations and restore healthy motion and circulation.

Unlike traditional traction or inversion tables, true spinal decompression is FDA-cleared and research-backed. The DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System — used exclusively by Dr. Boelk — continuously monitors tension, adjusting in real time to each patient’s spinal response. This precision prevents muscle guarding and allows for deep, effective disc decompression that simple traction cannot achieve.

Research from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic supports the effectiveness of true spinal decompression in reducing disc pressure and improving long-term outcomes.

Why Patients Choose Our Spinal Decompression Therapies – San Diego, CA

Each patient’s condition is unique, which is why Dr. Boelk personally evaluates every case before beginning treatment. Every decompression protocol is fully customized based on spinal level, angle, and intensity, combined with the right balance of passive and active therapy to help patients not only get out of pain but stay out of pain.

Patient Success Stories

June 8, 2025 – Amanda S., San Diego, CA
“This review is long overdue. I came here initially with skepticism but also hope—they were my last resort for ongoing back issues after a whiplash injury in 2022. I had tried just about everything: sports massages, chiropractors, cupping, acupuncture—nothing gave me lasting relief.

That changed when I started spinal decompression therapy here. From the beginning, they were upfront and let me know it might take 12 or more sessions to feel significant relief. But during one visit, the doctor asked how I was doing, and I suddenly realized—I hadn’t felt pain in a while. That moment came after just six sessions.

I’m now on a maintenance program and come in as needed. While I still experience occasional flare-ups, the relief this treatment provides has been life-changing. Honestly, I’d pay even more for the results I’ve experienced.”

September 24, 2025 – Olga S., San Francisco, CA
“Amazing as always!!! A very attentive and detail-oriented doctor, always willing to help and even dedicate time outside of working hours. The staff is also very kind and pleasant. Thanks to this doctor and his approach, I was able to avoid the surgery that had been recommended to me six years ago.”

March 22, 2024 – Abel T., San Diego, CA
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.

I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.

The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.

The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

September 6, 2024 (Updated Review) – Juliane E., San Diego, CA
“My first few sessions did not seem promising so I stopped going and wrote an honest review. I honestly did not think any action would result after my review.

But I have to give kudos to Dr. Cassidy. He was not aware of what had happened, emailed me personally with a heartfelt apology, and addressed my concerns moving forward. He genuinely wanted me to get better and provided several options to ensure I got the care I needed.

After going over the options, I decided to return. I was skeptical but the staff treated me as if I had never written the review, and I saw my concerns addressed right away. Dr. Cassidy had a small follow-up meeting with me that same day, apologized, and made sure my plan was right.

I continued to finish the 12 sessions as originally planned. The pain improved but there was still slight discomfort, so he suggested a two-week follow-up while continuing my workout routine. When I returned after two weeks, my pain was at a 9/10 but after the session I felt instantly better.

It’s been 2.5 weeks since that last treatment and I have not had any headaches or severe neck pain. I’m now able to work out without severe pain. I cannot stress how nice and caring the staff really is, especially the doctor—they genuinely want you to get better. Please, please give this place a chance.”
