San Diego Fast Degenerative Disc Disease Pain Relief

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition that affects millions of people, causing pain, discomfort, and limitations in daily life. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in providing advanced, non-surgical solutions to relieve the pain of DDD and help patients regain their quality of life.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)?

Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when the discs between your vertebrae begin to break down due to wear and tear, aging, or injury. While the term “disease” might sound alarming, DDD is a common condition that can happen naturally over time.

The discs in your spine act as cushions, absorbing shock and allowing smooth movement. When these discs degenerate, they lose height, flexibility, and hydration, leading to:

• Nerve Compression: When the disc compresses nearby spinal nerves, it can cause pain, numbness, or tingling.
• Loss of Mobility: Stiffness and difficulty moving due to inflammation and structural changes.
• Chronic Pain: Ongoing discomfort, especially during prolonged sitting, standing, or physical activities.

Why Does DDD Hurt?

As the discs degenerate, the cushioning between the vertebrae diminishes, leading to increased stress on the spine. This can result in:

• Inflammation around the affected area.
• Herniated or bulging discs pressing on spinal nerves.
• Bone spurs forming as the body tries to stabilize the spine.

Pain can vary from mild to severe, depending on the extent of the degeneration and the level of nerve involvement.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps

At our San Diego clinic, we use the DRX 9000, the most advanced spinal decompression technology, to treat DDD. This FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment works by:

1. Relieving Pressure on Spinal Discs: Gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract.
2. Promoting Disc Healing: Increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to the affected discs to stimulate natural repair.
3. Reducing Nerve Compression: Creating more space in the spinal canal, relieving pressure on compressed nerves.

NSSD targets the root cause of DDD pain, offering long-term relief without surgery or invasive procedures.

Dr. Boelk is so kind and knowledgeable. I became a patient earlier in the year with terrible sciatic pain. He suggested a course of treatment and after several visits the pain began to subside. I finished my treatments and am maintaining well. I see him less frequently now and it’s keeping my pain at bay. I couldn’t praise him enough. If you have neck or back pain call Dr. Boelk, he is amazing! Read more >

Hi I had the pleasure in meeting Dr Cassidy Boelk. I arrive at his facility literally crawling couldn’t walk or sit. The entire staff was so amazing and supported. Neurosurgeon wanted to perform a spinal fusion on my back. Very intense surgery right. Dr Cassidy said don’t do it, glad I listen I was in so much pain that I was going to schedule my surgery just because I wanted the sever pain to go away. He said don’t give this a try and you’ll see. We started the treatment then same day of my consultation. First visit I felt some relieved. The days go on felt much better by the time I was done I was able to walk go to my kids practices and game stuff that i couldn’t do. Anyways i can go in and on . I highly recommend this place. Love it big thanks to Dr Cassidy and team. Read more >
