Spinal Stenosis Relief in La Jolla, CA

Discover Non-Surgical Options for Back and Leg Pain

For many people living with spinal stenosis, even simple tasks like standing, walking, or getting dressed can become painful challenges. When the spinal canal narrows, it puts pressure on nerves that run through the spine — often resulting in pain, weakness, and numbness in the back or legs.

While surgery is sometimes recommended, it’s not the only option. In fact, many patients find lasting relief without surgery through advanced, non-invasive treatments.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients from La Jolla and across the U.S. experience meaningful relief using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) on the FDA-cleared DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System — the same technology researched and validated by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.

What Causes Spinal Stenosis Pain?

Spinal stenosis develops when the spaces within your spine narrow, creating pressure on the nerves that travel through it. Common symptoms include:

• Sharp or burning low back pain

• Pain or numbness in the legs or feet

• Cramping or weakness while walking

• Relief when sitting or leaning forward

For some, this nerve compression can feel like a constant ache or shooting pain that limits every movement. Traditional treatments like injections or medications often provide only temporary relief.

That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in — it gently creates space between the vertebrae to relieve nerve pressure and improve nutrient flow to the discs, helping the body restore function naturally over time.

Why La Jolla Patients Choose the DRX9000

Dr. Boelk’s facility features seven DRX9000 decompression systems, the largest and most advanced setup in California. The DRX9000 uses computer-calibrated precision to gently stretch the spine at calculated angles and force levels — a process designed to reduce compression, improve circulation, and restore better disc health.

This gentle, targeted approach makes it possible for many patients to find relief without drugs, injections, or invasive procedures. Each treatment plan is personalized based on the patient’s MRI findings and physical assessment.

Real Patient Experiences

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.”
