Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) can significantly impact your quality of life, causing chronic pain and limiting mobility.

With nearly 20 years of experience and over 50,000 decompression sessions performed, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, is dedicated to helping patients find relief and return to their daily activities.
Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease
DDD occurs when spinal discs deteriorate due to aging, wear and tear, or injury. This degeneration can lead to reduced disc height, loss of flexibility, and the development of bone spurs, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and limbs.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
NSSD gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This process encourages retraction of bulging or herniated disc material and enhances nutrient-rich blood flow, promoting natural healing and reducing inflammation.
Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC: Expertise You Can Trust
As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Dr. Boelk combines his extensive experience with personalized care. Having rehabilitated his own spinal injuries, he understands the importance of tailored treatment plans that include both passive therapies, like spinal decompression, and active rehabilitation to strengthen and stabilize the spine.
The DRX 9000: Advanced Technology for Optimal Results
We exclusively use the DRX 9000, an FDA-cleared spinal decompression machine recognized for its effectiveness. However, the success of treatment depends on individualized programming and the expertise of the practitioner. Dr. Boelk customizes each session to address the specific needs of every patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
