Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Offices in La Jolla, CA
If you’re experiencing chronic back or neck pain, you may have been told that surgery is your only option. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, near La Jolla, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers an effective, non-invasive alternative: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). By addressing the root causes of pain, this advanced therapy helps patients avoid surgery and reclaim their quality of life.
Patients from across the United States and even internationally travel to see Dr. Boelk due to his expertise and proven results. Here’s why NSSD works and why it’s a key part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual.
What Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treat?
NSSD is highly effective for conditions related to spinal disc issues and nerve compression. Common conditions it treats include:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs: Discs that press against spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear that leads to stiffness and chronic discomfort.
- Sciatica: Shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, often caused by nerve compression.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on nerves.
- Pinched Nerves: Nerve irritation resulting in sharp, localized pain.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Using advanced technology like the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machine, NSSD gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves.
How It Works:
- Negative Pressure Creation: Gently creates a vacuum effect within the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract.
- Improved Blood Flow: Enhances nutrient and oxygen delivery to the affected area, promoting healing.
- Pain Relief: Reduces nerve irritation and inflammation, providing significant symptom relief.
Why Passive Therapy Alone is Not Enough
While NSSD is highly effective in relieving pain, long-term recovery requires a combination of passive and active therapies.
Active Therapy Complements Passive Therapy:
- Strengthening Exercises: Builds stability in the core, back, and hips to support the spine.
- Mobility Training: Improves range of motion and flexibility to prevent stiffness.
- Postural Training: Corrects alignment issues to reduce strain on the spine and prevent recurrence.
Without active therapy, patients may find temporary relief but struggle to maintain long-term results.
Why Treatment Plans Must Be Tailored to Each Patient
Every patient’s condition is unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. Dr. Boelk carefully evaluates each individual’s needs to develop a customized treatment plan.
Key Factors in Customization:
- Condition Severity: The degree of disc compression and nerve involvement.
- Lifestyle and Daily Demands: Patients with physically demanding jobs or athletes may require different approaches than those with sedentary lifestyles.
- Overall Health: Age, fitness level, and other health conditions influence the type of therapies used.
By tailoring the treatment to each patient, Dr. Boelk ensures the best possible outcomes.

Real Patient Testimonials
Here’s what patients have said about their experiences:
"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."
— Eren T.
