Spinal Decompression for Disc Herniations In San Diego, CA
If you’ve been diagnosed with a disc herniation—or think you may have one—you’re likely dealing with pain, numbness, or weakness that interferes with your daily life. Herniated discs are a common cause of neck and back pain in San Diego, but that doesn’t mean surgery is your only option.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC provides a non-surgical, drug-free solution using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression system. Backed by nearly 20 years of experience and over 65,000 decompression sessions performed, Dr. Boelk has helped thousands of patients eliminate disc pain—naturally, comfortably, and effectively.
💥 What Is a Disc Herniation—and How Does It Happen?
Your spine is made up of vertebrae separated by discs that act like cushions. Each disc has a tough outer shell and a soft, gel-like center. When a disc herniates, the inner material pushes out through a tear in the outer layer. This bulge or rupture can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing symptoms like:
- Sharp or burning pain in the neck or low back
- Radiating pain down the arms or legs (sciatica)
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the extremities
- Difficulty sitting, walking, or sleeping
Disc herniations can occur suddenly from trauma, or gradually due to poor posture, repetitive strain, aging, or core instability.
🏠 What Can You Do at Home to Relieve a Herniated Disc?
While proper in-office care is key to long-term recovery, here are a few strategies you can try at home to manage symptoms:
1. Stay Active—But Avoid Heavy Lifting or Twisting
Gentle walking or controlled movement can keep the spine mobile and improve circulation.
2. Use Ice or Heat
Ice can help reduce inflammation during flare-ups, while heat may relax tight muscles.
3. Support Your Spine
Use lumbar support cushions when sitting and sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees or on your side with a pillow between your legs.
4. Try Gentle Stretches
McKenzie-style extensions may help relieve pressure on the disc—especially for lower back herniations.
⚠️ If your pain is worsening or radiating, don’t delay seeking professional care. Nerve compression can become harder to reverse if left untreated too long.
✅ Why Spinal Decompression Works So Well
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) gently relieves pressure from the spine by creating negative pressure inside the discs. At our San Diego clinic, we use the DRX9000 system exclusively—a high-tech, research-backed machine proven effective by Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic.
Here’s how it helps:
- Relieves pressure on herniated discs and pinched nerves
- Encourages retraction of bulging disc material
- Promotes fluid exchange and nutrient delivery for healing
- Reduces inflammation, pain, and radiating symptoms
It’s non-invasive, pain-free, and there’s no downtime—most patients actually find the treatment relaxing.
