Spinal Stenosis Relief in Kearny Mesa, CA

Non-Surgical Relief From Pain, Pressure, and Nerve Compression

Living with spinal stenosis can make everyday activities — standing, walking, or even bending down — feel nearly impossible. Many people are told surgery is their only hope, yet countless patients find relief without it.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located right here in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and his experienced team have helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and regain their quality of life through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System.

With over 75,000 decompression treatments performed in the past 21 years, Dr. Boelk has become one of California’s most sought-after spinal decompression experts. Patients regularly travel from out of state — and even internationally — for his specialized protocols and results-driven approach.


Understanding Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves that travel through it. This pressure can cause:

While medications, injections, and surgeries are often recommended, these options frequently fail to correct the underlying cause of nerve compression.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression provides a gentle, research-backed, and lasting alternative that helps restore space, circulation, and healing to the spine — without the risks of surgery.


Why Kearny Mesa Patients Trust the DRX9000

Dr. Boelk’s clinic features seven DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Systems — the most advanced and thoroughly researched technology available. The DRX9000 has been studied by major medical institutions including Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

Unlike basic traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 uses precise computer calibration to target each patient’s unique spinal curve and decompression depth. This precision creates a vacuum effect that draws bulging or herniated discs away from nerve roots, rehydrates the discs, and improves nutrient flow for healing.

The result: relief that lasts — without surgery, drugs, or downtime.


Real Patient Success Stories

Amanda S., San Diego, CA

“This review is long overdue. I came here initially with skepticism but also hope—they were my last resort for ongoing back issues after a whiplash injury in 2022. I had tried just about everything: sports massages, chiropractors, cupping, acupuncture—nothing gave me lasting relief.
That changed when I started spinal decompression therapy here. From the beginning, they were upfront and let me know it might take 12 or more sessions to feel significant relief. But during one visit, the doctor asked how I was doing, and I suddenly realized—I hadn’t felt pain in a while. That moment came after just six sessions.
I’m now on a maintenance program and come in as needed. While I still experience occasional flare-ups, the relief this treatment provides has been life-changing. Honestly, I’d pay even more for the results I’ve experienced.”

Olga S., San Francisco, CA

“Amazing as always! A very attentive and detail-oriented doctor, always willing to help and even dedicate time outside of working hours. The staff is also very kind and pleasant. Thanks to this doctor and his approach, I was able to avoid the surgery that had been recommended to me six years ago.”

Abel T., 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 painkillers, 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.”

Juliane E., San Diego, CA

“My first few sessions did not seem promising so I stopped going and wrote an honest review. I honestly did not think any action would result after my review.
But I have to give kudos to Dr. Cassidy. He was not aware of what had happened, emailed me personally with a heartfelt apology, and addressed my concerns moving forward. He genuinely wanted me to get better and provided several options to ensure I got the care I needed.
After going over the options, I decided to return. I was skeptical, but the staff treated me as if I had never written the review, and I saw my concerns addressed right away. Dr. Cassidy had a small follow-up meeting with me that same day, apologized, and made sure my plan was right.
I continued to finish the 12 sessions as originally planned. The pain improved but there was still slight discomfort, so he suggested a two-week follow-up while continuing my workout routine. When I returned after two weeks, my pain was at a 9/10 but after the session I felt instantly better.
It’s been 2.5 weeks since that last treatment and I have not had any headaches or severe neck pain. I’m now able to work out without severe pain. I cannot stress how nice and caring the staff really is, especially the doctor—they genuinely want you to get better. Please, please give this place a chance.”

Modesto Z., Oceanside, CA

“To start, I never thought I would say that I would be pain free. But Dr. Boelk worked his magic. With his expertise and specific game plan for me, he worked wonders.
During my weekly visits he made sure to check up on me from my previous visit along with my workout from the day of. Dr. Boelk is an athlete himself, so he understands the stress that comes along with working out. He modified my workouts so I wouldn’t be taking steps backwards along with his treatment.
Again, pain free and never going back to pain meds. With the help of his wonderful staff, they made the whole process of check-ins and treatments quite easy.
Even after moving across the country, he keeps up with his clients and looks out for their future.”

Donnie M., San Diego, CA

“This place is amazing, the staff is friendly and I’d recommend this place to anyone who needs it.
I recently discharged from the military with quite a few injuries and extremely bad back pain. Since then I have seen dozens of incompetent doctors whose only interest was selling me the next pill or vaccine.
Dr. Boelk is not one of those doctors. This man is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients. I have had nothing short of a great experience in this office. His nurse Megan is also very polite and caring for their patients.
These days it is very difficult to find a genuine medical professional, so when I do find them I feel that the world needs to know. This man is a good dude.”
