Are you searching for non-surgical solutions to neck pain caused by spinal stenosis? You’re not alone. Many people in San Diego are looking for effective alternatives to surgery to manage their spinal stenosis and chronic neck pain. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, offers advanced, non-invasive treatments that can provide significant relief without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which places pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. In the cervical spine (neck region), this compression can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
✅ Chronic neck pain
✅ Numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
✅ Weakness in the upper extremities
✅ Balance issues or difficulty walking
✅ Headaches originating from the neck
Why Does Spinal Stenosis Happen?
Spinal stenosis can develop for several reasons, including:
🔵 Age-related degeneration: Wear and tear over time can cause disc bulges, herniations, and bone spurs.
🔵 Degenerative disc disease: Loss of disc height can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal.
🔵 Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can cause thickening of ligaments and bone overgrowth.
🔵 Previous spinal injuries or surgeries: Scar tissue formation can further narrow the canal.
🔵 Poor posture and lifestyle factors: Forward head posture and prolonged sitting can accelerate spinal changes.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Can Help
While surgery is sometimes necessary for severe cases, not all spinal stenosis patients need surgery. In fact, many people respond exceptionally well to Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), experiencing significant pain relief and improved function.
Here’s why NSSD is so effective for spinal stenosis:
✅ Targets the root cause: Unlike pain medications or injections that only mask symptoms, NSSD works to relieve pressure on the compressed spinal discs and nerves.
✅ Restores disc height and hydration: By gently stretching the spine, NSSD creates negative pressure that allows discs to rehydrate and retract away from nerve roots.
✅ Non-invasive with no downtime: Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
✅ Highly researched and proven effective: The DRX9000 machines used at our center are FDA-cleared and supported by studies from Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.
