Pinched Nerve in Lower Back Treatment – San Diego, CA
A pinched nerve in the lower back can create severe, sharp, radiating pain that interferes with nearly every part of life — walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, driving, and even basic daily tasks. For many people in San Diego, this nerve compression comes from a bulging or herniated disc pressing on the sciatic nerve.
Unfortunately, most traditional treatments only focus on temporary symptom relief rather than correcting the underlying disc pressure.
This explains why so many patients continue to struggle even after:
-
chiropractic adjustments
-
physical therapy
-
stretching
-
injections
-
painkillers
-
massage
-
acupuncture
If the disc remains compressed, the nerve remains irritated — and the pain returns.
That is why so many patients in San Diego seek out True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with the DRX9000, which gently and safely reduces pressure inside the injured disc to help relieve the nerve at its source.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has performed over 100,000 decompression treatments over nearly 21 years, exclusively using the DRX9000 — the most researched, most advanced, and most trusted spinal decompression system available today.
Below are real patient stories from individuals who came in with severe nerve compression and found lasting relief.
⭐ Real Patient Testimonials
Testimonial #1 – Toni H., San Diego, CA
“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!”
Why this matters:
Toni’s pinched nerve caused 10 years of unrelenting sciatica — and she was one step away from back surgery. Her experience highlights how the DRX9000 can relieve nerve pressure when other treatments fail.
Testimonial #2 – Anthony K., San Diego, CA
“I have been dealing with back pain for several years. It got so bad that I had surgery 5 years ago for a bulging disc. About 5 months ago the disc bulged again hitting my sciatic nerve creating pain in my legs that made me want to cry it hurt so bad. After trying so many other options I was fortunate enough to find the spinal decompression and chiropractic center of San Diego. After just a few sessions I noticed a difference. Now after being there for the past few months I'm able to go about my normal life again.
What a blessing it was to find a Dr that genuinely cares and knows how to help people in my situation. Thank you Dr Boelk!”
Why this matters:
Anthony’s severe sciatic nerve compression returned after surgery — a common scenario. DRX9000 decompression reduced the disc pressure and relieved the nerve without needing another procedure.
Testimonial #3 – Jan H., San Marcos, CA
“I decided to see Dr. Boelk after a pretty gnarly motocoss neck injury. At the Hospital I was at, I felt I was getting pressured into a surgery which I refused. A friend of a friend referred him after Dr. Boelk successfully treated his broken back.
Dr. Boelk is a compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. He looked at my MRI images, explained what he saw and potential routes for recovery. He could not treat me as I have to wait until the fracture in my neck heals, but the level of professionalism, compassion, caring and knowledge displayed by him was exceptional. He also recommended to seek an additional opinion form another neurosurgeon.
My experience was that he really cares and he's not someone who would take advantage of the situation someone's in (unlike some other doctors). I will definitely be back and already recommended him to others as well! Thank you Dr. Boelk!”
Why this matters:
Jan’s story demonstrates clinical integrity and expertise — Dr. Boelk reviews MRIs carefully, only accepts cases he can help, and guides patients ethically even when they cannot yet begin decompression.
Testimonial #4 – Lynn C., Alaska
“I was having pain radiating down my legs — I couldn’t sleep or walk normally.
After treatment, I’m back to shoveling snow, teaching, walking… I can live again.
It was absolutely worth traveling from Alaska to see Dr. Boelk and his team!”
Why this matters:
Nerve compression that affects walking and sleeping is among the most severe. Lynn’s willingness to travel thousands of miles reinforces the level of expertise and results patients experience here.
⭐ How Spinal Decompression Relieves a Pinched Nerve
The DRX9000 gently creates negative pressure inside the discs of the lower back, which can:
-
retract bulging or herniated disc material
-
reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve
-
increase nutrient and oxygen flow to the disc
-
improve disc hydration and healing
-
reduce muscle guarding and inflammation
For many patients, this results in:
-
less pain
-
reduced numbness/tingling
-
improved mobility
-
better sleep
-
ability to stand, walk, or sit longer
-
return to normal daily activities
Because this technology targets the root cause of the pinched nerve, results often last far longer than temporary treatments.
