Spinal Decompression for Disc Bulges in San Diego, CA
Natural Relief Without Surgery, Injections, or Downtime
If you or someone you know is suffering from nagging low back or neck pain, shooting pain down the arms or legs, or numbness and tingling sensations—there’s a strong chance a disc bulge may be the root cause. The good news? Surgery is not your only option.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC offers one of the most comprehensive and advanced non-surgical disc bulge treatment programs in California—combining the power of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), active rehabilitation, and movement retraining to help patients fix the root cause of pain and finally get their lives back.
What Is a Disc Bulge and How Does It Happen?
Spinal discs are small, cushion-like pads between the vertebrae that act as shock absorbers. When the outer layer of a disc weakens or is put under too much pressure, it can bulge outward, compressing nearby nerves and triggering pain, weakness, or numbness.
This often happens due to:
- Poor posture or biomechanics
- Prolonged sitting or repetitive lifting
- Lack of core or spinal stability
- Old sports or car accident injuries
Left untreated, disc bulges typically do not heal on their own, especially when there is ongoing nerve compression. Many people wait, hoping the pain will resolve, but often it becomes chronic—or worsens.
What You Can Do at Home to Help a Disc Bulge
While professional care is often necessary for full recovery, here are a few supportive strategies you can try at home:
- Avoid forward bending and twisting movements, which often aggravate the disc.
- Use a lumbar roll to support your posture during sitting.
- Gentle extension-based stretches, such as McKenzie-style press-ups, may help reduce disc pressure.
- Ice therapy to reduce inflammation (20 minutes on, 40 minutes off).
- Avoid prolonged sitting and get up frequently throughout the day.
That said, if symptoms persist longer than a few weeks—or if they worsen—you’ll likely need more targeted, clinical treatment.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works
Dr. Boelk uses only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 systems—recognized as the gold standard in spinal decompression. Backed by studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, these systems gently and precisely distract the spine, relieving pressure on the bulging disc and pinched nerve.
NSSD works by:
- Creating negative pressure inside the disc, helping pull the bulge away from the nerve.
- Improving hydration and nutrient flow to damaged disc tissue.
- Reducing nerve irritation and inflammation that causes radiating pain.
- Giving the body the conditions it needs to actually heal the disc over time.
This is a completely natural treatment—no drugs, no injections, no surgery, and no downtime.
Passive + Active Therapy: Why Dr. Boelk’s System Gets Lasting Results
Most people with disc bulges don’t just need the disc decompressed—they need the cause of the disc bulge corrected.
Dr. Boelk’s program goes far beyond just passive treatment:
- Passive therapy: NSSD using the DRX9000 to remove nerve pressure and reduce pain.
- Active therapy: Customized spinal rehab to restore proper movement, improve spinal stability, and correct posture and biomechanics.
Every protocol is individually tailored to the patient. This is not a cookie-cutter plan—it’s a dynamic system designed to evolve as you improve. It’s the same approach Dr. Boelk used to recover from his own disc injuries, including a broken back at 16.
