Spinal Stenosis Treatment – Kearny Mesa, CA (Non-Surgical Relief)

Find Relief from Spinal Pressure, Pain, and Nerve Compression — Without Surgery

If you’ve been searching online for “spinal stenosis treatment Kearny Mesa” or “how to relieve spinal stenosis without surgery”, you’re not alone. Spinal stenosis can make even the simplest activities — walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping — feel exhausting and painful. Many patients are told their only option is surgery, but that’s often not the case.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Board-Certified Doctor of Chiropractic and Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, has helped countless patients relieve spinal pressure naturally. Using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, Dr. Boelk and his team have performed over 75,000 decompression treatments for patients from all over the U.S. and abroad — including those from right here in Kearny Mesa who wanted a safe, proven alternative to surgery.

🧠 What Causes Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve passageways, which puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This can happen in the lumbar (low back) or cervical (neck) region due to:

• Disc degeneration or thinning

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Bone spurs and joint overgrowth

• Ligament thickening

• Repetitive bending, lifting, or spinal compression over time

When this narrowing occurs, it can cause:

• Sharp or burning pain in the lower back or legs

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs or feet

• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

• Relief when sitting or leaning forward

• Stiffness or loss of balance

💡 How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Helps

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a safe, research-supported, and highly specific treatment that gently decompresses the spine, creating space for the nerves and discs to heal.

At our Kearny Mesa office, Dr. Boelk exclusively uses the DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System — the gold standard used in leading research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and the Mayo Clinic.

Here’s what happens during treatment:

• A precise, computer-guided system gently separates the vertebrae to reduce pressure on the discs and nerves.

• This negative pressure allows bulging or herniated discs to retract and oxygen-rich nutrients to flow back into the disc.

• Each treatment is customized based on your MRI findings, body type, and comfort level for maximum effectiveness.

Over time, the spine can regain proper spacing and movement — easing nerve pressure, reducing pain, and helping you get back to normal activity again.

💬 Patient Success Stories

Calder Pearce – San Diego, CA (3/07/25)
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialists I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”

Summary: After years of spine pain and several failed doctor visits, Calder regained full motion and avoided surgery within three months through Dr. Boelk’s decompression program.

Marlo Surovsky – San Diego, CA
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.
Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews).
After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan.
I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”

Summary: After multiple failed injections and near-surgery, Marlo became completely pain-free following 18 decompression treatments.

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA
“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”

Summary: Kaitelyn went from being nearly bedridden to living an active, pain-free life with improved mobility and strength.

Michael Langsdale – San Diego, CA
“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with subpar machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!”

Summary: Michael tried other clinics without success but finally found lasting pain relief and better sleep after switching to Dr. Boelk’s care.

🏠 At-Home Tips to Support Relief

While waiting for your decompression consultation, here are a few ways to ease spinal stenosis symptoms safely at home:

• Gentle Mobility: Short, slow walks every few hours help keep blood flowing and muscles active.

• Avoid Long Sitting: Take brief standing breaks or lie flat for a few minutes each hour.

• Core Stability Work: Simple exercises like bird-dogs or glute bridges (if pain-free) can help reduce strain on the spine.

• Heat & Ice Therapy: Alternate 10 minutes of moist heat and 10 minutes of cold compresses to reduce tension and inflammation.

• Hydration: Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily to maintain disc hydration and flexibility.

These steps can provide relief now and help prepare your spine for decompression therapy, where deeper and longer-term improvements can occur.
