Sciatica Leg Pain Treatment with Spinal Decompression – Kearny Mesa, CA
Sciatica is more than just “leg pain.” It is a nerve problem that starts in the spine and radiates into the leg. Depending on which spinal nerve root is compressed, sciatica can show up as pain in the front, back, or side of the leg—and for some patients, even into the groin.
This often surprises people, but it’s simply how the nervous system works. The sciatic nerve is the body’s largest nerve, and irritation at its roots in the lower back can send pain signals anywhere along its length.
One patient explained it perfectly:
"I had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors. When I came to Dr. Boelk, I could barely bend and was walking with a limp. Within weeks, I was bending again and by the next month I was walking pain free. I’m so happy I avoided surgery and found this office."
— Calder Pearce
Why the Pain Travels
When a disc bulges or herniates, it creates pressure on the nerve root. That pressure causes pain signals to radiate down the specific nerve pathway. That’s why sciatica can affect completely different regions from patient to patient.
Another patient shared:
"The pain was unbearable—I had to use a cane and couldn’t walk without medication. Surgery and injections were scheduled, but once I started spinal decompression, I never needed them. Today, I’m exercising again and standing tall. It gave me my life back."

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)
At our Kearny Mesa office, we only use the DRX9000 spinal decompression machines. Unlike traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 is computer-guided, highly researched, and precisely calibrated to create negative pressure inside the discs. This:
-
Relieves compression on spinal nerves.
-
Pulls disc material back toward the center.
-
Restores fluid, oxygen, and nutrients to the disc for healing.
"I’d been to other clinics with cheaper machines and got no benefit. With Dr. Boelk’s protocol on the DRX9000, after the very first visit I could finally sleep almost pain free. Twelve sessions later, my sciatica was gone. Worth every penny."
— Michael Langsdale
