Non-Surgical Sciatica Treatment – Chula Vista, CA
Sciatica can make even simple daily activities—walking, sitting, sleeping, or working—feel unbearable. Many people in Chula Vista begin searching for relief after months of pain, failed treatments, or being told surgery might be their only option.
The good news: surgery is not always necessary. For many disc-related cases, there are effective non-surgical sciatica treatment options when the underlying cause is properly addressed.
What Actually Causes Sciatica Pain?
Sciatica is most commonly caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to:
-
Disc bulges or herniations
-
Loss of disc height
-
Mechanical pressure on nerve roots
While medications and injections may reduce inflammation temporarily, they do not correct disc pressure, which is why symptoms often return.
True long-term relief requires addressing spinal mechanics, not just masking pain.
Why Non-Surgical Treatment Is Often the Smarter First Step
Many Chula Vista patients come to our clinic after trying:
-
Physical therapy
-
Chiropractic care
-
Pain medications
-
Steroid injections
When these fail, surgery is often suggested. However, surgery:
-
Permanently alters spinal structure
-
Carries higher risk and longer recovery
-
Does not guarantee long-term relief
For properly selected patients, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression can be a lower-risk, effective alternative.

Real Patient Experiences with Sciatica Relief
“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain! I've tried other chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, pain killing drugs, and other type therapies that just did not work. I was one step before back surgery, until I discovered Dr. Boelk's therapy and his procedure, and it's a miracle! My office visits were always so relaxing and comfortable, there was never any pain involved with the therapy. Dr. Boelk and Patty are so welcoming and warm and ready to explain everything that's going on. They both take such good care of you! Thank you Dr. Boelk and Patty!”
— Toni H., San Diego, CA
“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. Have had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 plus months, no pills helped and on track for multiple shots but with the treatment given I have found relief and down to zero pain. As a firefighter that relies on his body to help others and the results I have experienced it's totally worth looking into what Dr. Boelk can do for you.”
— Joshua T., San Diego, CA
“I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Boelk and his staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center of San Diego. They have a great protocol and the best decompression machines. I’ve been to other places with sub par machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person, you can see it in how he interacts with everyone. Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal, didn’t think it would ever heal but even after the first session I had tremendous relief and could sleep mostly pain free for the first time in months. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you!”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA

— Jayson Yavorsky, San Diego, CA
