Spinal Decompression for Herniated Disc – San Diego, CA

If you’ve been diagnosed with a herniated disc and are searching for spinal decompression in San Diego, you’re likely trying to answer one critical question:

Can this heal without surgery?

For many people, the answer is yes—when the treatment directly addresses disc pressure and nerve compression, not just symptoms.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC specializes exclusively in disc and nerve conditions and has helped thousands of patients avoid injections and surgery using true, computer-guided Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000.

Can a Herniated Disc Heal Without Surgery?

A herniated disc occurs when disc material pushes outward and irritates or compresses a spinal nerve. This often leads to:

• Radiating leg or arm pain

• Numbness or tingling

• Burning or sharp nerve pain

• Difficulty sleeping, walking, or exercising

While medications or injections may temporarily reduce pain, they do not reduce disc pressure.

True spinal decompression works differently.

How Spinal Decompression Helps Herniated Discs

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression using the DRX9000 is designed to:

• Gently reduce pressure inside the disc

• Create a negative pressure effect that allows disc material to retract

• Improve circulation to the injured disc

• Reduce nerve irritation without force or twisting

Dr. Boelk customizes decompression settings based on:

• MRI findings

• Disc level involved

• Nerve symptoms

• Spinal stability

• Patient tolerance

This is why results vary dramatically depending on who delivers the care and how it’s performed.

Real Patient Experiences With Herniated Disc & Spinal Decompression

“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!”

“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

“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

“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
