Fast Sciatica Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA

Fast Sciatica Pain Relief – La Jolla, CA

 

If you’re struggling with sharp pain down your leg, numbness, tingling, or burning discomfort that makes sitting or standing unbearable — you’re not alone. Many in La Jolla live with sciatica caused by compressed spinal discs, but few find lasting relief because most treatments focus only on symptoms, not the cause.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, helps patients find fast, lasting sciatica pain relief using advanced, research-supported Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD).

 

Why Sciatica Happens — and Why It Lingers

Sciatica pain usually starts when a disc in the lower spine compresses the sciatic nerve — the body’s longest nerve, running from your lower back to your foot. When this nerve is irritated or pinched, it can cause severe pain, weakness, or numbness down one or both legs.

 

Most traditional methods — painkillers, injections, massage, or even some chiropractic adjustments — only mask pain temporarily. NSSD is different because it addresses the root cause by gently and precisely decompressing the disc, allowing it to re-expand and relieve pressure from the nerve.

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

Using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System, Dr. Boelk’s clinic customizes each patient’s program based on imaging, symptoms, and progress.

 

This advanced system:

 

Each session is carefully monitored by Dr. Boelk himself — not left unattended or delegated. This doctor-driven approach is one of the many reasons patients experience faster results and lasting improvements.

 

Real Patient Experiences

Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, where I was having to lay each day, and within a couple of weeks he helped me with being able to sit again.

 

First of all, he has suffered from some severe back issues, so his empathy is very high. Secondly, he is extremely caring & genuinely wants to help people.

I’ve never worked with a doctor who has cared as much and made me feel like I was his only patient before. There would be four people there at the same time, and he still made me feel this way. I cannot thank him enough & cannot recommend him enough. He is an angel on earth.”

From Alaska to San Diego for Relief

“My name is Lynn. I am from Alaska, and I just want to say it was totally worth taking a trip to go to the Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego. I was having pain radiating down my legs, I couldn’t sleep, I could barely walk.

After treatment I am back to shoveling snow, teaching school, taking walks. So, I just want to thank Dr. Boelk and the clinic, you guys are wonderful, and you have created such a wonderful, friendly, kind and truly caring atmosphere. I highly encourage anybody that might be considering spinal decompression therapy — it really makes a difference.”

How We Deliver Fast, Lasting Relief

Dr. Boelk’s method blends passive decompression therapy with active stability and mobility training. Once pressure is relieved from the discs, muscles around the spine and hips are retrained to maintain that new alignment. This prevents re-injury and helps patients regain strength, movement, and confidence.

 

Each plan is:

 

At-Home Tips for Sciatica Relief

While professional decompression is the foundation for long-term healing, here are steps you can start today:

  1. Ice the lower back — 20 minutes per hour (over a thin towel) to calm inflammation.
  2. Short, frequent walks — 5–10 minutes several times daily to keep the discs nourished.
  3. Piriformis stretch — Cross one leg over the other while lying down and gently pull toward your chest.
  4. Nerve glide exercise — Sit tall, extend one leg forward while flexing your ankle to mobilize the sciatic nerve.
  5. Avoid long sitting sessions — Stand, walk, or change positions every 30–45 minutes.

These steps help reduce nerve pressure and support your spine’s natural healing response between decompression sessions.
