Lasting Sciatica Leg Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

Lasting Sciatica Leg Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

If you're living in La Jolla and suffering from sciatic nerve pain—sharp, shooting, or tingling pain down your leg—you’ve likely already tried medications, injections, or therapy. But unless the underlying cause is treated, the relief rarely lasts.

That’s exactly what we focus on at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located just a short drive from La Jolla.


🎯 What’s Actually Causing the Pain?

In most cases, sciatica is caused by a disc pressing on the sciatic nerve, usually due to a:

These are structural problems—so symptom-masking solutions often fail to give lasting relief.


🛠 The Solution: Root-Cause Care + DRX9000 Spinal Decompression

Led by Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, our clinic uses a proven multi-phase system that includes:

  1. Detailed evaluation – Posture, hip mechanics, mobility, and spinal function

  2. FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression – Reduces disc pressure and nerve irritation

  3. Corrective exercise therapy – To improve posture, mobility, and core control

  4. Custom care – No cookie-cutter plans. Each case is individualized.

We’ve performed over 65,000 decompression sessions and treat patients who fly in from around the country and overseas. You don’t have to live with sciatica—or undergo surgery.


📍 Convenient to La Jolla Residents

Located in San Diego, CA – Patients Travel from All Over

Dr. Boelk has performed over 65,000 spinal decompression sessions, is the founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, and trains doctors nationwide in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression protocols. Patients have traveled from Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Mexico, and Spain to receive care at our San Diego clinic.

“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.

 

 I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialist I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”

“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortizone shots in my back (cash out of pocket) recommended by my primary care doctor who assured me that would do the trick, I began asking people about their experience with back surgery. Even my primary care doctor said it might have to be considered. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.


Sometimes Google is magic...I began to explore other options and found many useful information on spinal decompression. It is not a quick fix. Healing takes time and patience. I am so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. Of course his 5 star reviews intrigued me. (and he deserves every one of those 5 star reviews).


After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD I decided to commit to a treatment plan.
I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine as part of my self care goals moving forward and I'm finally feeling zero discomfort.
No meds. Just commiting to Dr. Boelk's recommended treatment plan.”

“I travel from the UK to see Dr Boelk and his wonderful team . I have 3 bulging disc and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life . I will not go to anyone else for back treatment, this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally, and even began working up my exercise capacity. I always felt cared about, and there was a lot of feedback. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining positive results and pain reduction with increased mobility and freedom. All the staff are so caring, and it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”      -Kaitelyn H, San Diego, CA
