Fast Sciatic Pain Relief in San Diego, CA

Understanding Sciatica & How to Get Relief Quickly

Sciatica is one of the most debilitating types of pain, often causing sharp, shooting, or burning sensations that run from the lower back down the leg. Many people suffering from sciatica struggle to walk, sit, sleep, or perform daily activities, leading them to seek fast relief.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), an FDA-cleared, research-backed treatment that addresses the true cause of sciatica—spinal disc compression. Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, has performed over 50,000 decompression treatments, helping thousands of patients find fast, lasting relief without surgery or medication.

Why Does Sciatica Develop?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed. This compression can cause radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.

The most common causes of sciatica include:

✅ Herniated or Bulging Discs – When spinal discs shift out of place, they press against the sciatic nerve, triggering pain.
✅ Degenerative Disc Disease – As spinal discs wear down, they lose height, leading to increased nerve pressure.
✅ Spinal Stenosis – The narrowing of the spinal canal can pinch the sciatic nerve, leading to intense pain.
✅ Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction – Misalignment of the SI joint can mimic sciatic nerve pain.
✅ Muscle Tightness & Imbalances – Weak or tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and legs can contribute to nerve compression.

While pain medications, injections, and traditional physical therapy may provide temporary relief, they don’t correct the underlying nerve compression, which is why the pain often returns.

What Can You Do at Home to Help Sciatica?

While professional treatment is the most effective way to relieve sciatica long-term, there are several things you can do at home to help ease the pain:

💡 Avoid Prolonged Sitting – Sitting for long periods can increase sciatic nerve compression. Try to stand up and move around every 30-45 minutes.
💡 Gentle Stretching – Hamstring and piriformis stretches can help relieve tension on the sciatic nerve.
💡 Use Heat & Ice Therapy – Ice can reduce inflammation, while heat can relax tight muscles. Alternate between the two for 15-20 minutes at a time.
💡 Sleep with Proper Support – Sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees can help maintain spinal alignment.
💡 Walk & Stay Active – Light movement, like walking, helps keep blood flowing and prevents stiffness. Avoid activities that cause sharp pain.

If your sciatica pain lasts more than a few weeks or continues to worsen, it’s a sign that the underlying issue is not resolving on its own and needs professional treatment.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well for Sciatica

Unlike traditional treatments that only address symptoms, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) directly targets the root cause of sciatic pain—spinal disc compression.

How NSSD Works:

✔ Gently decompresses the spine, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
✔ Creates negative pressure, pulling bulging or herniated discs back into place.
✔ Restores hydration and nutrients to the discs, promoting healing.
✔ Provides pain relief without drugs, injections, or surgery.

By removing the pressure on the nerve, NSSD provides real, long-lasting relief, rather than just masking symptoms.
