Looking for Non-Surgical Disc Protrusion Therapy in San Diego, CA?

If you’re suffering from a disc protrusion and searching for relief without resorting to surgery, you’ve come to the right place. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, specializes in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) to help patients overcome this painful condition and get back to living their lives.

What is a Disc Protrusion?

A disc protrusion, often referred to as a bulging disc, occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes against its tough outer layer. This can compress nearby nerves, leading to symptoms such as:

• Severe back or neck pain
• Sciatica (radiating pain down the leg)
• Numbness or tingling in the extremities
• Weakness in the arms or legs

Disc protrusions typically happen due to wear and tear over time, but they can also result from injuries, poor posture, or repetitive strain from activities like heavy lifting or prolonged sitting.

Why Does a Disc Protrusion Happen?

Your spinal discs act as cushions between your vertebrae, absorbing shock and allowing for flexibility. Over time, these discs can become weakened due to:

• Degeneration from aging
• Overuse injuries from repetitive movements
• Sudden trauma, such as a fall or heavy lifting incident
• Poor posture and sedentary lifestyles, which place uneven stress on the spine

When the disc’s outer layer weakens, it can no longer contain the inner material, leading to a bulge or protrusion that can press on surrounding nerves.

How We Treat Disc Protrusions

At our clinic, we take a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to treat disc protrusions. Our treatment plan combines FDA-cleared Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with a variety of supportive therapies to address the root cause of the problem and promote long-term healing.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well

NSSD is a safe, painless, and highly effective therapy that uses the advanced DRX 9000 machine to gently stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure within the affected disc, helping to:

1. Relieve Nerve Compression: By reducing the disc bulge, decompression alleviates pressure on nearby nerves, providing immediate pain relief.
2. Promote Healing: Negative pressure enhances nutrient and oxygen flow to the injured disc, accelerating the body’s natural healing process.
3. Restore Function: With reduced pressure and inflammation, patients regain mobility and can return to their daily activities pain-free.
