Spinal Decompression for Herniated Disc – Kearny Mesa, CA

If you’re in Kearny Mesa and searching for spinal decompression for a herniated disc, you’re likely dealing with more than just back pain. Many people reach this point after months—or years—of failed treatments, worsening nerve symptoms, or being told surgery is the next step.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC focuses exclusively on disc and nerve compression cases and helps patients determine whether Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is an appropriate alternative before considering injections or surgery.

Can a Herniated Disc Heal Without Surgery?

A herniated disc occurs when disc material pushes outward and places pressure on nearby spinal nerves. This often causes:

• Radiating leg or arm pain

• Burning, tingling, or numbness

• Pain that worsens with sitting or driving

• Difficulty sleeping or exercising

While some disc injuries improve with time, persistent or worsening nerve symptoms often indicate ongoing disc pressure. Treatments that only reduce inflammation may help temporarily but do not correct the mechanical stress on the disc.

This is where true spinal decompression becomes relevant.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

At the Kearny Mesa clinic, spinal decompression is performed using DRX9000 technology, which is designed to:

• Reduce pressure within the injured disc

• Encourage disc material to retract away from the nerve

• Improve nutrient and fluid exchange to the disc

• Do so gradually, safely, and without forceful manipulation

Each decompression plan is customized based on:

• MRI or imaging findings (when available)

• The specific disc level involved

• Neurological symptoms

• Spinal stability and tolerance to care

This individualized approach is critical, as generic traction or non-computerized decompression does not produce the same biomechanical effect.

Real Patient Experiences With Herniated Disc & Decompression Care

“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”
— Toni H., San Diego, CA

Summary: After years of chronic sciatica and failed conservative care, this patient avoided surgery and returned to normal daily life through decompression-based treatment.

“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!”
— Anthony K., San Diego, CA

Summary: Even after prior surgery and disc re-injury, decompression helped reduce nerve pain and restore function.

“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.”
— Abel T., San Diego, CA

Summary: Rapid nerve relief followed by long-term stabilization allowed this patient to resume normal life and physical activity.

“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.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom

Summary: Patients with complex disc conditions often travel long distances for specialized decompression care.
