Kearny Mesa’s Best and Most Trusted Spinal Decompression Office
If you’re living with back pain and searching for effective relief, it’s important to know the differences between spinal decompression therapies. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located near Kearny Mesa, we’re proud to offer the most advanced, trusted, and effective Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) treatments in the area.
Not all spinal decompression treatments are the same, and not all equipment meets the standards needed for true decompression therapy. Here, we’ll explain what sets our clinic apart and why choosing the right provider is crucial for your recovery.
The Difference Between True Spinal Decompression and Traction
Many clinics advertise spinal decompression but use standard traction tables or inferior equipment. While these tables may reduce pressure to around +40 mmHg, they do not create the negative pressure required for effective healing.
Why the DRX 9000 Stands Out:
- The DRX 9000, used exclusively at our office, achieves negative pressure levels of up to -200 mmHg. This negative pressure helps retract bulging or herniated disc material, relieving pressure on nerves.
- Negative pressure facilitates spinal imbibition, the process by which discs absorb water, oxygen, and nutrients, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
- True decompression reduces nerve compression, alleviating pain and restoring mobility.
Without the ability to achieve this level of decompression, other machines simply cannot deliver the same results.
Why Protocols Matter as Much as the Equipment
Even with the best equipment, results depend heavily on the protocols used and the expertise of the provider. At our Kearny Mesa office, we go beyond just the machine to provide a comprehensive, customized treatment approach:
- Detailed Evaluations: Every patient undergoes a thorough assessment to determine whether NSSD is the right treatment.
- Customized Protocols: Each treatment is tailored to your specific condition, including machine settings, treatment duration, and complementary therapies.
- Combination of Passive and Active Therapies: While NSSD effectively reduces pain, we also use active rehabilitation exercises to strengthen and stabilize the spine for long-term success.

Rosa Algravez, | Age 58 | Calexico, CA
From Calexico, California
Hi my name is Rosa Algravez. I have suffered from leg numbness and low back pain for 4 years. I haven’t been able to do groceries or even take baths without pain. I looked for relief with various doctors with no luck. I have done treatments ranging from chiropractic to acupuncture. My husband found Dr. Boelk in the newspaper and we decided since we had tried everything else that we were going to give this a try. After my first few treatments, I feel as though I have returned to 100%. Life for me is completely different. My husband and I have returned to enjoying life. We travel 300+ miles everyday from Calexico. I can do things now with little to no limitations. The staff makes you feel welcomed and it’s a very family environment. The payments are easy and I would recommend this to anyone suffering with low back pain. Thank You -Rosa Algravez, Age 58, Calexico, CA
From El Centro, California
Hi my name is Mercedes Bautista. I found out about this treatment on the internet and I came because I was searching for a doctor for my friend. I have always had low back problems, so Dr. Boelk suggested that I have an MRI done. I decided to go ahead and do it and what I found out was astonishing. Dr. Boelk told me I had a bulging disc and that my discs were dehydrated. I went home very surprised and even scared.
That night with my husband I cried. My husband and I both talked about it and decided that the finances were worth getting my back fixed. The next thing we had to figure out was how I was going to get here, because I live in El Centro.
So we decided we were going to rent a car and I travel here 4 times a week. The girls here are wonderful and very awesome. They make you feel like family, it’s an extremely relaxing environment. I feel better and I have recommended this treatment to my family and friends. Thank You !

Ira Smith, | Age 49 | Business Owner, Las Vegas, Nevada
From Las Vegas, Nevada
My name is Ira Smith. I live in Las Vegas and found out about Dr. Boelk’s program here in San Diego and decided to start treatments with him. I’ve had lower back problems since I was very young. I had aggravated my lower back pretty bad again and usually I could do exercises, chiropractic treatment, rest and this time those things would no longer relieve my pain. I would get the sciatic pain shooting down into my leg and foot and would be pretty bad.
I found out thru my MRI’s that Dr. Boelk went over with me that I had 5 protruding discs. I did not want to get surgery as I have heard and seen that they don’t always work very well at all. I am 2/3 of the way done with Dr. Boelk’s program and I have zero pain. I pretty much go thru my activities with no pain. As I follow the program it has been absolutely fantastic! I have been thru physical therapy, chiropractic programs, I went to the hospital and they told me I have 1 bad disc, but I found out I had 4 more bad discs as well. The treatment has relieved the pain and is not painful at all. This can be the starting point for anyone with back pain to get their life back.
This is the place to start. If your skeptical, what’s your health worth? The cost of this has been way less than the cost of all my other therapies that I have gone thru. This is less money than all those things, less pain and gives you a great quality of life. This is new and modern and it fixes the problem. Use Dr. Boelk’s program to change your life and it will change your life! This is the place to start. -Thank You

“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.”

How You Can Support Your Recovery at Home
In addition to in-office treatments, here are some steps you can take at home to enhance your recovery:
- Avoid Prolonged Sitting: Sitting increases pressure on the spine. Stand, walk, or lie down when possible.
- Incorporate Gentle Exercise: Go for short walks or engage in low-impact activities like swimming or using an elliptical machine.
- Stretch Daily: Focus on stretches that target the lower back, hips, and hamstrings.
- Use Heat or Ice Therapy: Heat can relax tight muscles, while ice reduces inflammation. Alternate as needed.
- Maintain Proper Posture: Use ergonomic chairs and avoid slouching to reduce strain on your spine.
These simple practices can complement your treatment and help you achieve better, longer-lasting results.
