Trusted Back Pain Specialist – Kearny Mesa, CA

 

For many people, back pain is more than discomfort — it’s lost sleep, missed work, and the quiet frustration of not being able to live the way they want. In Kearny Mesa, patients searching for real, lasting relief are finding it with Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, one of the most trusted and experienced spinal decompression doctors in California.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk specializes exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) — a proven, research-supported method for treating chronic back pain, disc injuries, and nerve compression without drugs, shots, or surgery.

 

Why So Many Patients Trust Dr. Boelk

 

Every patient is given the same thing they want most — hope backed by results. Dr. Boelk doesn’t delegate care to untrained staff or let machines run unsupervised. Each decompression session is personally calibrated and monitored to ensure the exact angle, tension, and duration are ideal for your condition.

 

This level of direct doctor involvement is rare in modern clinics — and it’s why so many patients travel from around San Diego, out of state, and even from other countries to receive care here.

 

“Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day, and within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled.

 

First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people.

I’ve never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be four people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth.”
— Erin Turk

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The DRX9000, an FDA-cleared medical system, is designed to gently separate the vertebrae and reduce pressure inside the spinal discs. This negative pressure draws in oxygen and nutrients, helping the disc rehydrate and heal naturally.

When discs are compressed, they can pinch nerves — leading to radiating leg pain, numbness, or weakness. By decompressing the disc safely and precisely, pressure is reduced, inflammation calms, and mobility returns.

Each session is comfortable, relaxing, and guided with constant doctor oversight — never left unattended.

 

Conditions Commonly Treated

Dr. Boelk’s protocols are designed to help those suffering from:

• Herniated or Bulging Discs
• Sciatica or Nerve Compression
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Chronic Low Back or Neck Pain
• Disc-Related Pain After Surgery (no metal present)

 

Most patients come to Dr. Boelk after trying everything else — injections, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or medications — and finally find lasting relief through proper decompression therapy.

 

From Alaska to Kearny Mesa — Relief Worth Traveling For

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk.

After treatment I am back to shoveling snow, teaching school, taking walks. So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy, it really makes a difference.”
— Lynn C., Alaska

 

When patients are willing to travel thousands of miles for care, it says everything about trust, consistency, and reputation.

 

What You Can Do at Home Right Now

Even before beginning care, small steps can make a difference:

1. Apply Ice (Not Heat) – 15–20 minutes every hour helps reduce inflammation.
2. Stay in Motion – Gentle 5–10 minute walks multiple times daily improve circulation.
3. Stretch Hips and Hamstrings – Reduces tension pulling on the lower back.
4. Posture Check – Keep shoulders back and feet flat when sitting.
5. Hydrate Well – Healthy discs require proper hydration to maintain cushioning.

These strategies support decompression treatment and protect against future flare-ups.

 

Why This Approach Works

Dr. Boelk combines active therapy (stability and mobility training) with passive decompression therapy, targeting both the cause and effect of spinal pain.

This dual approach:

• Reduces nerve pressure
• Restores joint spacing
• Strengthens stabilizing muscles
• Improves posture and movement patterns
• Promotes long-term healing

 

It’s the same comprehensive system Dr. Boelk uses to teach other doctors through his Spinal Decompression Training Academy, based right here in San Diego.

 

Real Patients. Real Results.

“Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended diminished my back pain so much that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did.”

“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. I had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 months. Pills didn’t help. After decompression treatment, I found relief and now I’m at zero pain. As a firefighter, that means everything.”
