Severe Neck Pain Non-Surgical Treatment in San Diego, CA
Severe neck pain can be life-altering, affecting your ability to work, sleep, and enjoy everyday activities. While neck pain can stem from a variety of issues, many cases are caused by problems with the spinal discs. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC offers a comprehensive approach to treating neck pain using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) combined with personalized active therapy. This holistic approach ensures long-term relief without the need for surgery or medications.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works for Neck Pain
NSSD is a highly effective, non-invasive therapy designed to address pain caused by spinal disc problems. Common disc-related causes of neck pain include:
- Herniated Discs: When the soft inner material of a disc pushes out and presses on nearby nerves.
- Bulging Discs: Similar to herniated discs but with less severe protrusion.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear that reduces disc height and flexibility.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves.
When these issues occur, they can lead to nerve compression, causing pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms.
How NSSD Works
At our clinic, we use the advanced DRX 9000 decompression machine, the gold standard for spinal decompression therapy. This FDA-cleared system gently stretches the cervical spine, creating negative pressure within the spinal discs.
Benefits of NSSD:
- Relieves Pressure on Nerves: Helps retract herniated or bulging discs away from nerve roots.
- Promotes Healing: Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the damaged discs and surrounding tissues.
- Non-Invasive and Pain-Free: No injections, medications, or downtime required.
- Targets the Root Cause: Unlike medications that only mask symptoms, NSSD addresses the underlying issue.
Why Passive Therapy Alone is Not Enough
While NSSD is an effective treatment, it is only one part of a successful recovery plan. To ensure long-term relief, it is essential to incorporate active therapy, which focuses on strengthening and stabilizing the spine.
Active Therapy Includes:
- Strengthening Exercises: Builds muscle support around the neck, shoulders, and upper back to prevent future injuries.
- Postural Training: Teaches proper alignment to reduce strain on the cervical spine.
- Flexibility and Mobility Work: Improves range of motion and decreases stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
A complete treatment plan combining passive and active therapies ensures that patients not only find relief but also regain full function and prevent recurrence.

What Patients Are Saying
Here’s what real patients have said 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.
