Why Choose Our Spinal Decompression Center?

Spinal Decompression for Amazing Pain Relief

Our office has been specializing in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) for the past 20 years. Everyday we perform 40-50 sessions. Every single decompression session is performed by our doctor and not our staff. He determines the settings and has unique protocols for each patient that is dynamic.

Our clinic director and founder, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor. Over the past 20 years, he has performed over 50,000 spinal decompression sessions.

Our treatments are clinically proven highly effective and have been researched by Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic among others.

There are many offices that claim they are experts at spinal decompression but unfortunately lack the experience, knowledge, and years it takes to become an expert. We have been utilizing decompression in San Diego for the past 20 years and have seen many offices and doctors come and go and many pop up and are instantly experts. Over the past two decades, we have performed over 50,000 spinal decompression visits, and we are experts in spinal decompression. We are still always learning and updating our protocols to get even better results and learn how to help more people even faster; the learning never stops.

While Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) therapy is highly effective in many cases, it is just one part of a comprehensive treatment plan. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we understand that to achieve lasting pain relief, we must address more than just the symptoms.

To fully resolve the underlying causes of pain, Dr. Boelk incorporates corrective measures for muscle imbalances, postural faults, abnormal movement patterns, and biomechanics. It’s essential to ensure proper spinal stability and mobility, as well as hip stability and mobility, when needed. Every patient is unique, and their treatment should be too.

Dr. Boelk conducts a thorough history and evaluation for each patient, identifying pain triggers and pain relievers, allowing him to create a personalized, active therapy protocol. This approach gives patients tools they can use immediately to start reducing their pain at home, in addition to the in-office treatments. The combination of NSSD and active therapies helps patients not only find fast relief but also maintain long-term health and mobility.

Why DRX9000 Machines Are the Gold Standard
We exclusively use DRX9000 machines, the gold standard in true spinal decompression therapy. Unlike inversion tables or traction tables that claim to provide decompression, the DRX9000 is uniquely designed to create negative intradiscal pressure, which is critical for:

• Facilitating the exchange of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs to promote healing.
• Rehydrating the discs, improving their structure, and restoring function.
• Achieving measurable reductions in disc herniations, protrusions, and bulges.

This true decompression effect cannot be replicated by inversion tables or traction tables, which lack the precision and technology required to create negative pressure. Research conducted at leading institutions such as Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic has demonstrated the DRX9000’s effectiveness, with pre- and post-MRI studies showing:

• Increased disc height.
• Reduction in the size of disc herniations and protrusions.

These clinically verified changes are simply not achievable with inversion or traction tables, which explains why those treatments do not deliver the same success rates.

Customized, Expert Care for Maximum Results
Every decompression session at our center is performed by Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor with over 20 years of hands-on experience. Dr. Boelk has conducted more than 50,000 decompression sessions, personally determining the settings and creating customized, patient-specific protocols to ensure optimal results. The DRX9000 machines allow us to adjust every aspect of the treatment, including:

• Angle of pull.
• Intensity.
• Timing and rest periods.

The Importance of Combining Active and Passive Therapies
While the DRX9000 is an incredibly powerful tool, passive therapy alone is not enough. At our center, we combine spinal decompression with active therapy to stabilize and strengthen the core and spinal support structures. This comprehensive approach ensures better outcomes and prevents future injuries.
