Fast Herniated Disc Pain Relief in San Diego, CA

Herniated discs can cause intense pain, numbness, and limited mobility. They happen when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often from poor posture, muscle imbalances, repetitive stress, or sudden trauma.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps

NSSD, particularly with DRX 9000 machines, uses gentle traction to relieve nerve pressure, improve disc health, and create space for the disc to heal naturally. This FDA-cleared therapy is highly effective for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain. However, while these machines are excellent tools, they are passive therapies. The key to success is expert clinical decision-making, which ensures every treatment is adapted to the patient's specific needs daily.

Why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC Stands Out

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Boelk’s extensive experience—spanning nearly 20 years—allows him to combine NSSD with active therapies, such as core stabilization exercises, postural correction, and biomechanical adjustments. Addressing muscle imbalances, spinal stability issues, and abnormal movement patterns is essential to ensure long-term relief and prevent re-injury. This comprehensive approach is why many patients travel from out of state and internationally to seek Dr. Boelk’s care.

“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.”

He has very specific criteria he utilizes to determine who and who he cannot help. There are multiple factors to consider along with each individuals lifestyle and daily demands that are needed to be completed. For example some of the professional athletes he works with have a different set of demands that an office worker needs to consider.

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.” - Lisa S. United Kingdom
