Sciatica Leg Pain Therapy San Diego, CA

Sciatica is one of the most frustrating conditions people in San Diego face. The burning, stabbing, or shooting pain that runs from the low back into the buttock and down the leg can make it nearly impossible to sit, stand, walk, or sleep. Many patients describe it as life-changing in the worst way.

But there is hope—lasting relief without surgery.

Why Sciatica Hurts So Much

Sciatica pain comes from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body. When spinal discs bulge, herniate, or become compressed, they can pinch this nerve. Because the sciatic nerve runs from the spine into the hips and down the legs, pressure on it creates severe pain, tingling, numbness, or even weakness.

This explains why the pain is so intense and often doesn’t respond to medications or injections alone.

What You Can Do at Home

While professional care is often required to fix the root cause, some steps can help calm irritation:

• Apply ice packs (20 minutes, 3–4x per day; never directly on skin).

• Stretch gently, especially hips and hamstrings.

• Use a foam roller to keep glutes and legs loose.

• Break up sitting time with standing or short walks.

• Practice postural awareness—avoid slouching and uneven weight-bearing.

These strategies may bring temporary relief, but they don’t correct the disc compression itself.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use the DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression system. This technology is FDA-cleared, highly researched, and proven effective by respected institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.

The DRX9000 gently stretches the spine, creating a negative pressure inside the discs. This allows bulges and herniations to retract, relieves nerve compression, and restores nutrient flow to injured discs.

Why We Combine Active and Passive Therapies

Lasting results require more than just machine therapy. That’s why every care plan combines:

• Passive therapy: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression to fix the disc problem.

• Active therapy: Core stability training, postural correction, and hip/back mobility to prevent future flare-ups.

This dual approach helps patients feel better quickly and stay that way.

What Patients Are Saying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"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… Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal." – Michael Langsdale

"I had sciatica for months and was told surgery might be my only option. A friend referred me to Dr. Boelk, and I am so thankful I came here. The decompression treatments made a huge difference and I’m finally able to get back to normal activities." – Lisa S.
