Sciatica Nerve Pain – Non-Surgical Solutions | San Diego, CA
If you’re living with sciatic nerve pain, you know just how debilitating it can be. Shooting, burning, tingling pain from your lower back down your leg and sometimes all the way to your foot—it can interrupt sleep, affect your ability to sit or stand, and make everyday tasks feel nearly impossible.
The good news? You don’t have to live like this.
And you don’t need surgery or injections to get real, lasting relief.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in treating the root cause of sciatica—not just masking the pain.
🔍 What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?
Sciatica typically occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—gets compressed or irritated. This usually stems from spinal conditions such as:
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Spinal stenosis
-
Disc protrusions or extrusions
-
Post-surgical nerve entrapment (non-fusion cases)
When a spinal disc pushes out and presses on the sciatic nerve, it creates pain, numbness, burning, and weakness in the buttocks, legs, or feet.
🚫 What Can Make Sciatica Worse?
Many people unintentionally aggravate their sciatica by:
-
Stretching aggressively too early
-
Sitting for prolonged periods
-
High-impact exercises
-
Bending or twisting improperly
-
Receiving generalized chiropractic adjustments without addressing the disc compression
These actions can increase pressure on the nerve and make the condition worse.
✅ What Helps Sciatica Nerve Pain?
The key is relieving pressure on the affected disc and nerve—not just loosening tight muscles.
That’s where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.
💡 Why NSSD Works So Well
We use the DRX9000, the most advanced spinal decompression system available, to:
-
Gently stretch and decompress the spine
-
Create negative pressure within the disc
-
Pull herniated or bulging disc material back into place
-
Improve nutrient and fluid flow to help discs heal
-
Reduce nerve pressure and inflammation
This isn’t just basic traction or an inversion table—it’s computer-controlled, monitored 13x per second, and backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.
