Surgery Alternatives for Severe Neck Pain In Kearny Mesa, CA
If you’re living with severe neck pain in Kearny Mesa, CA, and have been told that surgery is your only option, we encourage you to explore a proven, non-surgical alternative. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in treating the root cause of many cases of neck pain—compressed spinal discs and nerves—without the need for risky surgeries or ongoing medications.
Many Severe Neck Pain Cases Begin with Disc Compression
Your cervical spine is made up of delicate joints and cushioning discs. Over time, these discs can degenerate, bulge, or herniate, putting pressure on nearby spinal nerves. This is often the true cause of:
-
Sharp, localized neck pain
-
Radiating pain into the shoulder, arm, or hand
-
Tingling, numbness, or weakness
-
Difficulty turning your head or sleeping
While medications or injections might help temporarily, they don’t address the root issue: the disc is still compressed and irritating the nerve.
Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer
Surgical options like spinal fusion or disc replacement come with significant risks, costs, and recovery time. In many cases, they can be avoided altogether with the right therapy.
At our Kearny Mesa-area clinic, we’ve helped thousands of patients avoid surgery altogether through a highly specialized therapy called Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).
How NSSD Helps Correct the Root Problem
We exclusively use the DRX9000 spinal decompression system—a device researched and supported by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.
By gently stretching the spine in a controlled and targeted way, the DRX9000 creates a vacuum effect inside the disc. This allows:
-
Disc pressure to be relieved
-
Nutrients and hydration to flow back in
-
Nerve compression to reduce
-
Healing to begin at the root level
This is a pain-free, non-invasive process that often helps patients experience measurable improvements within the first few weeks.
Why Protocol Customization Is Key
Not all spinal decompression is the same. The machine is only one part of the equation—what matters most is how it’s used.

“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.”
