Where Is the Best Place to Go for Spinal Decompression in San Diego, CA

Where Is the Best Place to Go for Spinal Decompression in San Diego, CA?

If you're searching for the best spinal decompression treatment in San Diego, it's important to understand that not all spinal decompression is the same—and where you go truly matters. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the industry-leading DRX9000 system, and we’ve helped thousands of patients finally get relief after trying everything else.

Whether you’ve been told surgery is your only option, or you’re simply tired of living with chronic back or neck pain, our clinic offers the highest level of expertise, technology, and results in the region—and people travel from all over the U.S. and internationally to see Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC for a reason.


What Makes Our Clinic the Best in San Diego?

Here’s what sets us apart from other offices offering spinal decompression:

✔️ We Use Only the DRX9000

Unlike many clinics that use outdated or low-grade traction devices, we exclusively use the DRX9000 system—the most advanced and research-supported spinal decompression technology available today. Studies conducted at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic confirm the DRX9000’s effectiveness in relieving disc-related conditions.

✔️ We Have the Largest Known Setup in California

Our office is equipped with 7 DRX9000 tables, making us the largest known provider of true Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in California. More tables means less waiting, more personalized care, and the ability to treat more people without compromising quality.

✔️ Personalized Protocols for Every Patient

Spinal decompression is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to develop a customized decompression protocol based on their specific disc level, severity, body mechanics, and overall goals. We also combine active and passive therapies to stabilize and strengthen the spine for long-term relief—not just temporary symptom management.


Why Patients Travel from Out of Town to See Dr. Boelk

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, a Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and the founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, where he trains doctors across the country on how to properly use the DRX9000 and deliver exceptional results. With over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments performed, he is widely recognized as one of the most experienced and respected decompression specialists in the U.S.

Patients routinely drive and fly in from Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Montana, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Spain to receive Dr. Boelk’s care. They seek him out because they’re looking for more than just another quick fix—they’re looking for a real solution from someone who has spent decades perfecting this method.


Real Patient Success

💬 What Our Patients Say – Full Stories, Real Results

“This care has been life-changing. I gave them a second chance, and it changed my life.”
_“At first, my results weren’t what I’d hoped for, and I left a review. Dr. Boelk personally reached out, apologized, and offered a plan to move forward. I returned, and everything was different—better. I completed all 12 sessions, restarted working out, and one treatment completely stopped a pain flare-up I had from overtraining.

I haven't needed Tylenol since. My neck pain and headaches are gone. The staff is kind and truly cares. Please give them a chance—it changed my life.”_
 Julianne E., San Diego


“Dr. Boelk and his team gave me my life back.”
_“I was in so much pain I couldn’t sit down. I had to lie down just to get through work. A few weeks into treatment, I was sitting comfortably again.

Dr. Boelk is different—he’s experienced back pain himself and truly cares. Every time I came in, I felt like the only patient there. That level of attention and empathy is rare. I highly recommend him.”_
 Erin T., San Diego


“No charge. No pressure. Just integrity.”
“I came in after a motocross injury with a neck fracture and was being pressured into surgery. Dr. Boelk reviewed my MRI, explained my options, and recommended I wait until I healed before starting treatment. He didn’t charge me and advised I seek a second opinion. That’s the kind of doctor he is. I’ll be back when I’m cleared.”
 Jan H., San Diego
