Spinal Decompression Treatment Kearny Mesa – DRX9000 Treatment for Disc Herniation & Nerve Pain Relief
If you live or work in Kearny Mesa and are dealing with sharp low back pain, sciatica, disc herniation, or chronic neck issues, you’re not alone. Many people in this area sit for long hours, lift repetitively, or deal with old injuries that flare back up. When nerve pain becomes severe or ongoing, it can feel like your life shrinks around it — workouts stop, sleep gets disrupted, and even simple daily activities become stressful.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just minutes from Kearny Mesa, we specialize exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000. This is a highly targeted treatment designed to reduce disc pressure, relieve nerve irritation, and restore mobility without surgery, injections, or medications.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
When spinal discs become compressed, dehydrated, or injured, they often push outward, irritating or pinching nearby nerves. This can create:
-
Sciatica
-
Numbness or tingling in the legs or arms
-
Burning or shooting pain
-
Loss of strength
-
Difficulty standing or sitting
-
Tightness that won’t release
The DRX9000 gently creates negative pressure inside the disc by slowly separating the vertebrae in a controlled, precise motion. This encourages:
-
Retracting disc material back toward the center
-
Improved disc hydration and nutrient flow
-
Reduced nerve compression
-
Better long-term disc health
This is not traction and not an inversion table. True decompression is a computerized medical procedure backed by research from institutions such as Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic when performed on proper equipment with correct protocols.

⭐ Real Patient Results
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.”
Summary: Olga avoided a long-recommended surgery and found relief through decompression after years of uncertainty.
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.”
Summary: Abel’s severe sciatica and sleep disruption improved quickly, leading to major long-term relief.
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.”
Summary: Juliane regained the ability to exercise without pain after completing a guided decompression plan.
Marlo S., San Diego, CA
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery.
Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews).
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan. I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”
Summary: Marlo avoided surgery and reached full pain relief after following a structured decompression plan.
