The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego

When I first started my treatment, I was naturally feeling a bit apprehensive about the road ahead. However, from the moment I walked through the doors, the warmth and hospitality of the staff immediately put me at ease. It is rare to find a medical office that balances professional excellence with such genuine kindness.

• ​Exceptional Hospitality: Every visit felt welcoming, and the seamless coordination of my appointments made a stressful time much easier to manage.

• ​Quality of Care: The level of expertise and attention to detail in my rehabilitation plan was evident. I felt like a person, not just a chart number.

• ​Genuine Kindness: the patience and encouragement during the more challenging days of my recovery meant more to me than words can say.

​Thanks to Dr. Boelk and his team for their dedication, I am feeling much stronger...

Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. He has the health of his patients as his top priority. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended and administered have so diminished my back pain that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk.

Dr. Cassidy Boelk has truly changed my life. After struggling with chronic pain for years, I underwent both lumbar and cervical spinal decompression under his care, and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. In a very short time, I went from experiencing level 8 pain after activity to being completely pain-free some days—something I never thought possible.

Dr. Boelk’s expertise and dedication to non-surgical spinal decompression, which he has specialized in for over 20 years, is evident in every aspect of his practice. His staff is incredibly kind, compassionate, and efficient. Even with multiple patients being treated at once, I have never waited more than a few minutes—their workflow is seamless.

I am forever grateful for the care I’ve received and highly recommend Dr. Boelk to anyone seeking relief from chronic pain.

there has not been an more deserving 5 star review than for Dr. Boelk and his staff! the results have been phenomenal and although at first i was skeptical, i had hope because from the first moment of meeting Dr. Boelk you just knew he truly wanted to make a difference. you owe it to yourself to give them a go, they truly are 2nd to none! keep up the good work, it means more to your patients than you can imagine.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Boelk at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. Many years ago, I was a patient of another clinic doing DRX decompression and it did wonders for my cervical spine injury. Long story short, I never went back for maintenance visits once my pain was gone; this is totally my fault. That clinic eventually closed and I had nowhere else to go for DRX. A couple of years ago I had a major incident with my neck where I was in very sharp pain and could not move my neck; I ended up in the ER. Soon after, I found Dr. Boelk through a family friend.

I was afraid I was not going to be able to perform even normal day-to-day activities, not to mention any semblance of physical activity. My neck and upper shoulder area hurt, and my right arm felt numb with a tingling sensation on a daily basis. This is due to a herniated...

I wanted to be pro-active on taking care of my posture and back discomfort as I age.
Dr.Cassidy and the exceptional staff here have been helping me on this journey with personalized adjustments and long-term planning that is best for me.
Already standing taller and feeling better.
Thank you!

Dr. Boelk and his team have been wonderful. I have been seeing Dr. Boelk since November for my back pain due to disc herniation. I injured a disc in my spine carrying a heavy mechanical couch during a move and it had become painful to move and work. I lost mobility and had difficulty even putting shoes on. The pain was interfering with my everyday lifestyle. At my first visit, Dr. Boelk took X-rays and showed me what was wrong. After reviewing the X-ray results, we agreed upon a treatment plan. Agreeing to this treatment plan was the best choice I've made for my back pain. The spinal decompression has relieved all the pain I felt in my lower back. I can walk, run and exercise without any pain and I'm able to get back in the gym and continue my daily routines. The office staff are very friendly and caring as well. I will definitely continue my treatments here and highly recommend Dr....

I had an amazing 5-star experience with The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego today. I went in for a consultation with Dr. Boelk and it was a blessing that I found him. He was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, informative and caring. After carefully reviewing my health records, he was very honest and let me know that I was not a candidate for Spinal Decompression due to my history with Osteoporosis. I had previously consulted with a different clinic which actually included Spinal Decompressions for me as part of their proposed treatment plan for my back pain. I'm so happy I consulted with Dr. Boelk who actually cares for people's well-being over acquiring more business at any risk. He was also kind enough to recommend some alternative treatments that would be safe for me to try. For anyone who is a candidate for Spinal Decompressions, I...

Dr. Boelk and his team are wonderful! I had severe sciatic pain a few years ago. I followed his recommended treatment and was out of pain after the first visit; there was light at the end of the tunnel. I see him now every 6 or 8 weeks, and it is keeping my pain at bay. The therapy itself is relaxing, and I always feel a little more human when I leave. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk, his team and his health approach.

When I first came here I was suffering from sciatica pain for several months no stop. I tried many different non invasive treatments, pain killers but relieve was just temporary. I heard about doctor Boelk on social media and after reading other people testimonials about him I decide to try . It felt better since my first session. After 12 I felt I was improving a lot but still had room to get better so we decide trying 12 more . After 36 sessions I felt I was back to normal. I could get back to surf, jiu jitsu and work after 6 months away . Doctor helped me through the whole process, leaving me free to decide the next step and being honest about expectations. I totally recommend for all my friend that suffer from sciatica pain. It’s worth 100%

I've had a great experience at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I had visited a couple places before beginning treatment, had a great feeling about Dr. Boelk and the staff, and how their approach was a "full body" treatment, using nutrition, exercises, and more. I was in terrible shape before, with fairly constant pain that affected all aspects of my life, but now am fully mobile- I have phased out regular visits and go in infrequently but still have the best care. I highly recommend, thanks for all, Doc!

Got some adjustments today and other services done and I didn't feel the difference at first but after leaving and getting home I feel the difference now, it's amazing and will be returning if I need anymore adjustments thank you to everyone that helped me out today everything went smoothly five stars all the way around.

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with sub par machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!

I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.

Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.

In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.

Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.

Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I...

If you’re fortunate enough to hook up with these people, it’s possible to enjoy a quality of life you’ve thought you’d lost.
Quality care with kind & extremely knowledgeable staff.
Dr. Boelk is the “GOAT”.

Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally. I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.

I want to thank Dr. Boelk DC and his staff for treating me with my lower back pain. Prior to my treatment with Dr. Boelk, I had no life. I could not dress myself; I had a hard time driving. Also, I had a hard time walking, standing and sitting. After his series of treatments, I am back to working out and training 5 to 6 days a week. No more pain medication for pain!

The staff is soooo great and nice to work with. Dr. Boelk is extremely knowledgable and guides you on the right plan.
