Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works Better

 

Sciatica is one of the most painful and debilitating conditions, often leaving people desperate for relief. While many turn to chiropractic adjustments as a first step, these treatments often fail to address the true root cause of sciatica—disc compression. In San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and experience lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

His clinic, The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, is the largest known provider of NSSD in California, with over 50,000 decompression treatments performed and 7 state-of-the-art DRX 9000 machines—the most researched and effective decompression technology available.

Why Chiropractic Adjustments Fall Short for Sciatica

Chiropractic adjustments can provide temporary relief by mobilizing the spine and relieving pressure on facet joints (the small joints in the back of the spine). However, sciatica is typically caused by disc bulges, herniations, or degenerative disc disease, which lead to nerve compression at the spinal discs. Adjustments do not directly decompress the discs, meaning they do not effectively relieve the true source of sciatic pain.

This is why so many patients struggle with chronic sciatica, despite months or even years of adjustments—they are only addressing secondary issues, not the root cause.

 

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

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a breakthrough, FDA-cleared treatment that directly targets the compressed spinal discs. It works by creating a gentle, controlled decompression force that:

 Creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract away from the nerves.
 
Increases blood flow and oxygen to the discs, promoting healing and regeneration.
 
Relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain, numbness, and weakness.
 
Restores proper disc height and spinal function, preventing future flare-ups.

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

 

Why Dr. Boelk’s Approach Is Different – The Key to Long-Term Relief

Many clinics only offer passive treatments like decompression or adjustments, but Dr. Boelk goes further by integrating both passive and active therapies.

  1. Passive Therapy – This includes Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), which alleviates nerve compression and allows the body to heal.
  2. Active Therapy – To prevent the condition from returning, Dr. Boelk customizes rehab exercises that correct muscle imbalances, strengthen core and hip stability, and restore proper spinal function.

This combination helps patients recover faster and stay pain-free long-term.
