Sciatica Pain Decompression Treatment in San Diego, CA – Non-Surgical Relief That Works
Sciatica can be frustrating, painful, and limiting. Many patients describe it as a sharp, burning, or shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down into the leg. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, patients receive advanced non-surgical care that targets the root cause of sciatica and helps them return to normal life without risky surgery or long-term medication.
🔎 What is Sciatica?
-
Sciatica is not a condition by itself, but a symptom of an underlying spinal issue.
-
It develops when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — becomes compressed or irritated.
-
This nerve runs from the lower spine, through the hips, and down each leg.
-
Compression often results in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that makes simple activities — such as sitting, walking, or sleeping — difficult.
⚠️ How Sciatica Develops
Sciatica typically stems from disc-related conditions, including:
-
Bulging or herniated discs pressing on the sciatic nerve
-
Degenerative disc disease narrowing nerve passageways
-
Muscle imbalances or poor posture that overload the spine
When pressure builds inside the discs, they bulge outward and irritate the nerve roots, causing the familiar radiating pain down the leg.
💡 Why Patients Feel Sciatic Pain
-
The sciatic nerve functions like an electrical cable; when compressed, pain signals radiate down the leg.
-
Patients often experience pain, tingling, or weakness that travels into the foot.
-
These symptoms can be constant or intermittent, but rarely improve long term if the root cause is not addressed.
✅ Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well
At this San Diego clinic, only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression system is used. Unlike traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 has been researched and proven effective by institutions such as Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.
Benefits include:
-
Negative pressure inside the disc → helps pull bulging material back into place
-
Improved nutrient and oxygen flow → promotes disc healing
-
Reduced nerve compression → relieves pain and restores mobility
-
Customized treatment settings → protocols tailored to each patient
With over 75,000 decompression treatments performed, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has developed one of the most experienced programs available. Patients routinely travel from across the U.S. and internationally for his expertise.

⭐ Real Patient Success Story
“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 subpar machines and didn’t get any benefit. Dr. Boelk is very attentive and cares about each person. After 12 sessions, my sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal.” – Michael Langsdale
