Non-Surgical Solutions for Severe Neck Pain in Kearny Mesa, CA
Severe neck pain can significantly impact your daily life, making simple tasks challenging. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located near Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers effective, non-surgical treatments to alleviate neck pain, particularly those arising from disc issues.
Understanding Neck Pain from Disc Problems
Neck pain often originates from spinal disc issues, such as:
- Herniated Discs: When the inner material of a disc protrudes, pressing on nearby nerves.
- Bulging Discs: A less severe protrusion that can still cause nerve compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear leading to reduced disc height and flexibility.
These conditions can result in nerve compression, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms.
Why We Use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)
To address disc-related neck pain, we utilize Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the advanced DRX 9000 machine. This FDA-cleared device gently stretches the cervical spine, creating negative pressure within the discs.
Benefits of NSSD:
- Relieves Nerve Pressure: Encourages retraction of herniated or bulging discs away from nerve roots.
- Promotes Healing: Enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged discs.
- Non-Invasive: No surgery or medications required, minimizing risks and recovery time.
Comprehensive Treatment Plans: Beyond Passive Therapy
While NSSD effectively addresses the structural causes of neck pain, a holistic approach includes both passive and active therapies.
Active Therapy Components:
- Strengthening Exercises: Builds muscle support around the neck and upper back to prevent future injuries.
- Postural Training: Improves alignment to reduce spinal strain.
- Flexibility and Mobility Work: Enhances range of motion and decreases stiffness.
Combining these therapies ensures not only pain relief but also long-term spinal health and function.
At-Home Strategies to Alleviate Neck Pain
In addition to professional treatments, consider these at-home remedies to manage neck pain:
- Gentle Stretching: Perform neck stretches to maintain flexibility.
- Ergonomic Adjustments: Ensure your workspace supports proper posture.
- Heat Therapy: Apply a warm compress to relax tense muscles.
- Stay Active: Engage in low-impact activities like walking or swimming.
- Mind Your Posture: Avoid slouching, especially during prolonged sitting.

Real Patient Testimonials
"I feel very happy with the results after going through spinal decompression therapy. I was in pain almost all the time, and traditional chiropractic care didn’t really help, neither did physical therapy. I found this place online, and after reading about it, it just made sense to me how it works and how it can help me. I gave it a chance for my back pain, and it worked great for me. I am able to do my normal routine without pain and even exercise. Highly recommend."
— Edgar R.
"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."
