Severe Low Back Pain Treatment in San Diego, CA

Living with severe low back pain can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of your daily life. While many cases of low back pain stem from disc compression, the right treatment approach can make all the difference. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has nearly 20 years of experience helping patients find relief through a combination of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and customized active therapy plans.

Patients from across the country and even internationally drive and fly to San Diego seeking Dr. Boelk's expertise, not only for the cutting-edge treatments offered but also for his comprehensive and personalized approach to care.

 

Why Many Cases of Low Back Pain Are Caused by Disc Compression

The spine is made up of vertebrae cushioned by discs that act as shock absorbers. Over time, or due to injury, these discs can become compressed, leading to conditions like:

• Bulging or Herniated Discs: Discs pressing on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Loss of disc height and elasticity, leading to stiffness and discomfort.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves.

When the discs are compressed, they can irritate or pinch nerves, resulting in severe low back pain and other related symptoms. Addressing the root cause of the compression is essential for long-term relief.

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

At our clinic, we utilize advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompressiontherapy, performed with the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machine, to treat disc compression effectively.

How NSSD Works:

• Gently Stretches the Spine: Creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract.
• Reduces Nerve Pressure: Relieves irritation and compression on spinal nerves.
• Promotes Healing: Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged areas.

Benefits of NSSD:

• Non-invasive and pain-free.
• No recovery time required.
• Treats the root cause, not just the symptoms.

 

Why Passive Therapy Alone Is Not Enough

While NSSD is highly effective, it is only one piece of the puzzle. Addressing severe low back pain requires a holistic approach that combines passive therapy (like decompression) with active therapy tailored to the patient's specific needs.

Active Therapy Includes:

• Strengthening Exercises: Focused on the core, back, and hips to stabilize the spine.
• Postural Training: Teaching proper alignment to reduce strain on the back.
• Mobility Work: Improving flexibility and range of motion to prevent future injuries.

Each patient’s condition is unique, which is why Dr. Boelk creates a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best possible results. This comprehensive approach is another reason why patients trust Dr. Boelk to help them recover and return to their daily lives pain-free.

What Patients Are Saying About Dr. Boelk

Here’s what patients have shared about their experiences:

 

"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. If you visit him, please listen to him & follow his instructions. He knows what’s best for you."
— Eren T.

 

"I feel very happy with the results after going through spinal decompression therapy, I was in pain almost all the time and traditional chiropractor didn’t really help neither did physical therapy, found this place online and after reading about it it just made sense to me how it works and how it can help me and give 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 is such a nice guy and his staff is always friendly and professional! As a fellow chiropractor who treats back pain all day, he is the one I go to for my own back. His DRX machines are the most effective non-invasive treatment for disc injuries. I just wish I could afford 1 for my own clinic."
— Cory Tedesco

 

"Came to this office with a serious back pain. Was not able to walk for more than 5min. Significant improvement after 8 sessions. Walking with minimal pain for as long as I want. Many thanks to Dr Boelk and office staff"
— Ken P.
