Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) for Discogenic Pain Relief San Diego CA
Discogenic pain—pain originating from a damaged or degenerated spinal disc—is a common but challenging condition that often leads to chronic pain, decreased mobility, and reliance on pain medications. However, at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) as an effective, drug-free, and surgery-free solution for discogenic pain.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
NSSD works by using advanced decompression machines, such as the DRX9000®, to gently stretch the spine and reduce disc pressure. This process creates negative intradiscal pressure, which helps retract herniated or bulging disc material, improving nutrient flow and allowing damaged discs to heal. Clinical studies show that NSSD is highly effective in relieving pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.
The key benefit of NSSD is that it addresses the root cause of discogenic pain—disc compression—without resorting to pain medications, spinal injections, or surgery. This makes it a safer and more sustainable treatment option for long-term relief.
The Importance of Correcting Underlying Biomechanics
While NSSD plays a critical role in decompressing the spine and alleviating disc-related pain, achieving lasting results requires addressing other underlying issues. At our center, Dr. Boelk integrates spinal decompression therapy with treatments that focus on:
- Abdominal and Core Stability: Strengthening the core muscles to support the spine and reduce strain on the discs.
- Correcting Muscle Imbalances: Addressing tight or weak muscles to restore balance and improve movement patterns.
- Postural Faults: Identifying and correcting postural issues that can exacerbate spinal compression.
- Spinal Stability and Proper Biomechanics: Ensuring that the body moves efficiently to prevent further injury and reduce the risk of future pain.
By combining NSSD with customized corrective exercises, patients experience improved spinal stability, better movement mechanics, and long-term relief from discogenic pain.

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.
