Spinal Decompression for Neck & Back Pain in La Jolla, CA

By Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC – Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor

If you live in La Jolla and are dealing with chronic neck or back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, or degenerative disc disease, you know how frustrating it can be to find real, lasting relief.

At the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a highly researched, non-invasive solution that has helped thousands of patients get out of pain and avoid surgery.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

Unlike standard traction or inversion tables, NSSD with the DRX9000® system uses advanced computerized technology to gently and precisely stretch the spine in a way that creates a negative pressure inside the disc.

This process:

• Retracts bulging or herniated disc material away from nerve roots, reducing inflammation and nerve compression.

• Draws water, oxygen, and nutrients into the disc, which fuels healing through improved nutrient exchange and disc rehydration.

• Reduces spinal pressure while improving joint mobility and relieving muscle tension.

Think of it like creating a vacuum effect inside your discs, allowing them to heal in an environment where pressure is relieved and circulation is improved.

Why We Combine NSSD with Active Therapy

While NSSD is incredibly effective, it is still a passive treatment — meaning the machine is doing the work for you.
For long-term results, we combine decompression with active therapy, which includes:

• Mobility exercises to keep joints moving freely.

• Stability training to protect your spine during everyday activities.

• Core and spinal strengthening to maintain alignment and reduce the risk of re-injury.

This passive + active approach is what helps our patients not just get out of pain, but stay out of pain. It’s the difference between short-term relief and lasting recovery.

Why Patients Travel for Care

Patients come from all over — not just La Jolla, but also across the U.S., Mexico, Spain, and the U.K. — to work with Dr. Boelk because:

"I travel from the U.K. to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one touching the nerve. The spinal decompression treatments keep me in my active life. This place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients." — Lisa S., United Kingdom
