Chiropractic Alternatives for Severe Sciatica Pain in La Jolla CA 

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works Better

 

Sciatica pain can be debilitating, making everyday activities such as walking, standing, and even sleeping difficult. Many in La Jolla seek chiropractic care for relief, but while adjustments can help in some cases, they often fail to resolve the true cause of sciatica—spinal disc compression.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, has helped thousands of patients find lasting relief and avoid surgery using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD). His clinic is the largest known provider of NSSD in California, having performed over 50,000 decompression treatments with 7 advanced DRX 9000 machines—the most researched and effective decompression technology available.

Why Chiropractic Adjustments Alone Don’t Fix Sciatica

Many people with sciatica in La Jolla turn to chiropractic adjustments for pain relief. While adjustments can help relieve pressure on the facet joints(small joints in the back of the spine), they do not decompress spinal discs.

Since sciatica is typically caused by disc bulges, herniations, or degenerative disc disease, adjustments alone fail to relieve the real source of sciatic pain—spinal nerve compression caused by disc damage.

This is why many patients continue struggling with chronic sciatic pain despite regular chiropractic care.

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Is More Effective for Sciatica

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an FDA-cleared therapydesigned to directly address spinal disc compression, which is the root cause of most sciatic pain. This advanced treatment:

 Creates negative pressure within the disc, pulling bulging or herniated material away from the nerves.
 
Restores spinal disc height, reducing nerve compression and inflammation.
 
Increases blood flow and oxygen to the discs, speeding up the healing process.
 
Relieves sciatic nerve pain, numbness, and weakness by eliminating pressure on the nerve.

Dr. Boelk exclusively uses DRX 9000 machines, which have been extensively researched by institutions such as Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic, proving their effectiveness in treating disc-related conditions.

 

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs, and one is touching the nerve. The decompression treatment keeps me active, and I won’t go anywhere else for back treatment. This place is number one!”
 
Lisa S., United Kingdom

“After treatment I’m back to shoveling snow, teaching school, and taking walks. I highly recommend Dr. Boelk and his clinic—you’ve created such a caring atmosphere. Anyone considering spinal decompression therapy should know it really makes a difference.”
 
Lynn C., Alaska

 

Dr. Boelk’s Unique Approach – A Combination of Passive and Active Therapy

Many healthcare providers only offer passive treatments like adjustments or decompression, but Dr. Boelk ensures lasting relief by combining passive and active therapy:

  1. Passive Therapy  Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is used to gently relieve nerve compression, allowing the body to heal.
  2. Active Therapy  Customized rehab exercises help correct muscle imbalances, strengthen core and hip stability, and restore proper spinal function to prevent future flare-ups.

This combination helps patients recover faster and maintain long-term results.

 

Why Patients Travel from La Jolla and Beyond to See Dr. Boelk

Patients come from across La Jolla, San Diego, and even from out of state and internationally (Mexico, Canada, the UK, Spain) to receive treatment from Dr. Boelk. His unmatched experience and track record of success in treating sciatica without surgery make his clinic a sought-after destination for lasting relief.
