How Do I Get Rid of Sciatica Pain Fast – San Diego, CA
When sharp, shooting pain runs from your lower back down your leg, it can take over every part of life. Sitting, driving, or even trying to sleep becomes a challenge. Most people searching “how do I get rid of sciatica pain fast” are desperate for relief — but the truth is, lasting recovery only happens when the root cause is corrected.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, has helped thousands of patients find fast and lasting relief using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the advanced DRX9000 system.
Understanding Sciatica and Why It Persists
Sciatica occurs when a spinal disc in the lower back bulges or herniates and presses against the sciatic nerve — the body’s largest nerve. This compression can cause burning, tingling, or shooting pain that travels down one or both legs.
While medications, stretching, and injections can temporarily dull pain, they don’t address the actual cause — the pressure on the nerve. NSSD works by relieving that compression naturally, allowing the disc to rehydrate and the nerve to heal over time.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Dr. Boelk’s clinic uses the FDA-cleared DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression System, proven in research by institutions such as Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Duke Medical Center.
Each session is:
- Customized – Settings are tailored to your MRI findings and symptoms.
- Gentle and relaxing – No pulling, no twisting, no pain.
- Doctor-supervised – Dr. Boelk oversees every visit personally to ensure precision and progress.
- Effective – Designed to reduce nerve pressure, restore disc height, and encourage natural healing.
This approach has provided remarkable results for patients across San Diego, including those who had lost hope after trying everything else.
Real Patient Results
“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.”
— Erin Turk
“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. I had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 months. Pills didn’t help. After decompression treatment, I found relief and now I’m at zero pain. As a firefighter, that means everything.”
— Joshua T., San Diego
“Dr. Boelk is professional and kind. The decompression treatments, exercises, and diet adjustments he recommended diminished my back pain so much that I can sleep again. Chiropractic adjustments did not help my lower back. Decompression did.”
— Steve R., San Diego
“I was referred to Dr. Boelk after struggling with chronic lower back pain for years. The spinal decompression treatments were life-changing. Within weeks, I felt like myself again.”
— Jessica C., San Diego
What You Can Do at Home Right Now
While professional decompression is the key to lasting recovery, a few steps can help support healing between visits:
- Ice the lower back for 20 minutes per hour (never directly on the skin).
- Take short walks two to three times daily to increase circulation.
- Perform gentle piriformis and hamstring stretches to ease nerve tension.
- Avoid sitting for long periods — stand or move every 30–45 minutes.
- Stay hydrated, as spinal discs rely on water to stay flexible and healthy.
These steps can help reduce irritation and keep the nerve mobile while deeper decompression therapy takes effect.
