Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment Without Surgery in Kearny Mesa, CA

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition that can lead to chronic back and neck pain, affecting your ability to enjoy daily life. While surgery is often suggested for severe cases, many patients are finding relief through advanced non-surgical options. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located in Kearny Mesa, CA, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in effective, non-invasive treatments for DDD, helping patients avoid surgery and achieve long-lasting pain relief.

 

What is Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)?

Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when the spinal discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae, deteriorate over time. While this is a natural part of aging, it can cause significant pain and discomfort in some individuals. Common causes of DDD include:

• Age: Natural wear and tear on the spinal discs.
• Trauma or Injury: Previous injuries can accelerate disc degeneration.
• Repetitive Stress: Activities like prolonged sitting or heavy lifting can strain the spine.
• Genetics: A family history of spinal issues can increase the likelihood of DDD.

 

Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease

• Persistent or intermittent pain in the back or neck.
• Pain that worsens with certain movements or sitting for extended periods.
• Stiffness or reduced flexibility in the spine.
• Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs.
• Weakness in the extremities.

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treats DDD

At our clinic in Kearny Mesa, we use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the DRX 9000 machine, the most advanced and effective decompression technology available. This FDA-cleared treatment gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs.

How it Works:

• Relieves Pressure: The negative pressure allows bulging or herniated discs to retract, relieving nerve compression.
• Promotes Healing: Increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the discs aid in natural healing.
• Reduces Pain: Decompression alleviates pain caused by inflammation and nerve irritation.
• Non-Invasive: No surgery, injections, or downtime required.

 

Why We Only Use the DRX 9000

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC insists on using the DRX 9000 because it is the gold standard in spinal decompression therapy. Unlike older or less precise machines, the DRX 9000:

• Provides targeted and consistent decompression.
• Offers maximum comfort and safety for patients.
• Delivers superior results backed by extensive clinical research.

Our commitment to using the best technology available ensures that our patients receive the highest level of care and achieve the best possible outcomes.

1. Stay Active: Gentle activities like walking, swimming, or yoga can improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.
2. Use Proper Ergonomics: Adjust your workstation to minimize strain on your spine.
3. Strengthen Core Muscles: A strong core supports your spine and reduces pressure on the discs.
4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking water keeps your discs healthy and hydrated.
5. Apply Heat or Ice: Heat can relax muscles, while ice reduces inflammation and pain.
