Pain Relief Treatments for Sciatica Besides Surgery in San Diego, CA
If you’re struggling with sciatica and looking for a non-surgical solution, you’re not alone. Sciatica can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts daily life, limiting mobility and causing severe pain. Many patients are told that surgery is their only option, but at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in effective, research-backed non-surgical treatments that address the root cause of sciatic pain.
What Is Sciatica and How Does It Happen?
Sciatica is a condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. When the nerve becomes pinched—often due to a herniated disc, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis—it can lead to sharp, burning pain, numbness, tingling, or even weakness in the legs.
Many patients experience sciatica due to:
- Disc Herniation – A spinal disc pushes out of place and presses on the sciatic nerve.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – The discs lose hydration and height, leading to nerve compression.
- Spinal Stenosis – The narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on nerves, including the sciatic nerve.
- Muscle Imbalances & Poor Posture – Improper spinal biomechanics can contribute to nerve irritation.
Sciatica pain can range from mild to severe, and in many cases, it worsens over time if the root cause is not properly addressed.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well for Sciatica
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System, the most advanced and research-backed technology for disc-related pain relief. Unlike general chiropractic adjustments or spinal traction, NSSD specifically targets disc injuries by creating negative pressure within the disc, which helps:
✅ Relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve
✅ Gently reposition herniated or bulging discs
✅ Increase oxygen, nutrients, and hydration to the discs
✅ Reduce inflammation and improve disc function
This specialized approach has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery, eliminate chronic pain, and return to an active lifestyle—even when they were previously told surgery was their only option.
