Real Patient Experience – Severe Sciatica Before Surgery
“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
Summary: After over 10 years of pain and failed treatments, Toni was preparing for surgery before starting care and later reported being pain-free.
Why Many People Still Have Pain
Most patients who come into the office have already tried:
- physical therapy
- chiropractic
- medications
- injections
- massage therapy
- acupuncture
Yet they still:
- cannot sit comfortably
- cannot sleep through the night
- cannot exercise or surf
- cannot get through the day without pain
The reason?
In many cases, the disc and nerve component was never properly addressed.
What Often Causes Sciatica & Disc Pain
Severe symptoms like:
- pain down the leg
- burning or tingling
- numbness
- pain when sitting or driving
- sharp low back pain
may be related to:
- disc bulges
- disc herniations
- annular tears
- nerve irritation
- increased pressure inside the disc
If pressure inside the disc is not reduced, symptoms may continue—no matter how much you stretch or strengthen.
What Makes Our Approach Different
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC focuses specifically on disc-related conditions.
He is:
- a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor
- a Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist
- Founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy
- A doctor who has performed over 100,000 decompression treatments
The office exclusively uses the DRX9000, which allows for precise customization of treatment.
We currently utilize:
- Four lumbar DRX9000 decompression units
- Three cervical DRX9000 decompression units
making the office one of the largest spinal decompression facilities in California.
Real Patient Experience – Failed Other Treatments
“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
Summary: After months of severe sciatica and failed treatments, Joshua avoided injections and reported complete pain relief.
Not All Spinal Decompression Is the Same
This is one of the most important points.
Many patients have tried “decompression” elsewhere without success.
The difference often comes down to:
- proper evaluation
- correct spinal level targeting
- angle of pull
- force and timing
- patient positioning
- overall protocol
Without these being dialed in correctly, results may be limited.
Passive Treatment Alone Is Not Enough
While spinal decompression helps reduce pressure on discs, long-term results typically require:
- core stabilization
- hip mobility
- posture correction
- movement retraining
This combination helps support the spine and reduce the likelihood of the problem returning.
Real Patient Experience – Failed Other Decompression Clinics
“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
Summary: After failed decompression elsewhere, Michael experienced significant relief and improved sleep with proper DRX9000 protocols.
Important: Not Everyone Is a Candidate
Some patients:
- do require surgery
- need further imaging
- or are not appropriate for decompression
If that is the case, Dr. Boelk will tell you directly.
