Non-Surgical Pain Relief for Spinal Stenosis in Kearny Mesa, CA
If you’ve been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and are searching for effective, non-surgical pain relief, you’re not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients manage and overcome spinal stenosis through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and a comprehensive treatment approach.
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spaces within your spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
- Loss of balance or coordination
How Does Spinal Stenosis Develop?
Spinal stenosis often develops gradually due to aging and degenerative changes in the spine. Factors contributing to the condition include:
- Disc degeneration
- Bone spurs
- Thickened ligaments
- Herniated discs
- Trauma or injury
These structural changes can reduce the space available for nerves, causing pain and discomfort.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works
At our clinic, we use FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machines, the most advanced spinal decompression systems available. These machines are highly researched and have been proven effective in relieving pressure on the spine. Here's how NSSD helps:
-
Relieves Nerve Compression:
The DRX 9000 gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This helps reduce bulging or herniated discs, alleviating pressure on nerves. -
Promotes Healing:
By restoring proper spinal alignment and increasing blood flow, NSSD accelerates the body’s natural healing process. -
Improves Mobility and Function:
Patients often experience significant improvements in mobility and a reduction in pain after just a few sessions.
Why We Exclusively Use the DRX 9000
While the DRX 9000 is considered the gold standard for spinal decompression, achieving excellent results requires more than just using the best machines. It’s crucial to know exactly how to use them and to personalize treatments for each patient’s unique condition.
At our clinic, we tailor every decompression session based on:
- The severity and location of spinal stenosis
- The patient’s overall health and activity level
- Progress and feedback throughout treatment
This individualized approach is why we achieve such high success rates and why patients drive and fly hundreds or even thousands of miles to seek help from Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC.
The Importance of Active and Passive Therapies
We don’t stop at passive decompression therapy. Dr. Boelk incorporates active therapies to address the underlying issues contributing to spinal stenosis.
-
Passive Therapies:
Include NSSD, heat therapy, and electrical stimulation to relieve pain and promote healing. -
Active Therapies:
Focus on improving spinal stability, muscle balance, and postural alignment. Exercises are designed to strengthen the core, improve flexibility, and correct movement patterns, ensuring long-term results.
This comprehensive approach not only relieves pain but also helps prevent future flare-ups.

"Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day & within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again. His attention to you & the way he will make you feel is unparalleled. First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people. I've never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be 4 people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I guess I just cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth. If you visit him, please listen to him & follow his instructions. He knows what's best for you. " - Erin T, San Diego
Rated the #1 Spinal Decompression office in San Diego for many reasons.
Here is a quick guide to finding the best office when searching for Spinal Decompression:
1. Does the office specialize In Spinal Decompression or is it just one of many multiple treatments they offer? We have seen many patients come from other offices who said they are specialists and experts in spinal decompression but only treat 3 or 4 patients a day on decompression.
2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments? Spinal Decompression is a specialized skill and requires daily decision making and protocols vary from person to person, it is not a one size fits all approach. Many patients come from different offices and inform us they were getting decompression but it was done by the staff and many times they are in pain when on the tables. The treatments should not be painful but feel good.
3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing spinal decompression who are not certified. It is best to see someone who took the time and learned the process and is certified.
4. Do they have a good reputation and reviews that report the doctor and office and staff are looking out for the patient and there is a common theme of the doctor caring and wanting the best for their patients?
5. Experience? How long has the office been utilizing spinal decompression? How many sessions have they performed? You want to see someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge in their field when looking for spinal decompression offices.

Chronic Lower Back Pain
Neck Pain
Herniated Discs
Slipped Discs
Pinched Nerves
Disc Bulges
Degenerative Disc Disease
Sciatica
Spinal Stenosis
Neuropathy
With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.

Dr Boelk is thorough, technical, and explains everything very well. Excellent bedside manner and all the staff are very nice. Decompression treatment is effective and I have no more neck pain." - Andre G.
"Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. He has the health of his patients as his top priority. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended and administered have so diminished my back pain that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk."- Steve R.

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 !
