Lasting Sciatica Nerve Pain Relief In Kearny Mesa, CA

 

If you’re battling sciatica nerve pain—burning, shooting leg pain, numbness, or weakness—you know how life-changing this condition can be. Many patients in Kearny Mesa, CA come to us after trying multiple failed treatments with no lasting relief. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we help patients achieve lasting sciatica nerve pain relief with a proven, comprehensive approach.

 

Why Most Sciatica Treatments Fail

The majority of sciatica cases originate from disc compression in the lower spine, which puts pressure on the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots. Common causes include:

• Bulging or herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Compressed, dehydrated discs
• Disc injuries due to trauma or repetitive stress

 

Most traditional treatments—medications, massage, injections, or physical therapy alone—fail to address the root cause: disc compression. If the disc remains compressed, the nerve remains irritated, and symptoms will persist or worsen over time.

 

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

At our Kearny Mesa clinic, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the industry-leading DRX9000 system. Unlike basic traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 is an FDA-cleared, research-backed systemdesigned to:

✅ Create negative pressure inside the spinal disc
✅ Allow bulging or herniated material to retract, relieving nerve pressure
✅ Increase blood flow and nutrient exchange to promote disc healing
✅ Reduce inflammation and restore normal disc height and function

 

Studies from Stanford University, Duke Medical Center, Johns Hopkins University, and Mayo Clinic show that NSSD delivers high success rates, even in patients who had failed other treatments.

 

Why Passive and Active Therapy Are Both Needed

Lasting sciatica relief requires more than passive care. Here's our proven process:

Phase 1 – Passive Therapy (NSSD):
We begin by gently decompressing the spine to relieve nerve pressure and allow the disc to heal. The treatment is comfortable—most patients feel a light stretch and many fall asleep during sessions.

Phase 2 – Active Therapy:
Once nerve pressure is reduced, we address the underlying muscular and movement faults that caused the disc to compress in the first place:

• Improve core stability
• Strengthen hip and glute stabilizers
• Correct postural faults
• Improve hip mobility and flexibility

 

Without this active phase, even the best decompression treatment won’t provide long-term success.

 

Comfortable & Relaxing Treatment Experience

Patients are often surprised at how comfortable and relaxing NSSD is. There is no pain, no invasive procedures, and no downtime. Many of our Kearny Mesa patients report they look forward to their sessions and feel more relaxed and mobile after each visit.

 

Clinical Studies Support High Success Rates

Our DRX9000-based NSSD protocols are supported by published research from:

• Stanford University
• Duke Medical Center
• Johns Hopkins University
• Mayo Clinic

 

These studies show high clinical success rates for patients with disc-related sciatica, even in cases where surgery was being considered.

"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life."
