Sciatica Pain Relief – Kearny Mesa, CA (Non-Surgical Treatment)

Fast, Lasting Relief Without Surgery or Injections

If you’ve been searching online for “Sciatica Treatment Kearny Mesa” or “Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery,” you’re likely tired of temporary fixes that never last. The burning, shooting, or aching pain that runs from your lower back down your leg can make even simple movements—like sitting, standing, or sleeping—feel impossible.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located right here in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients overcome debilitating sciatica pain without the use of drugs, injections, or surgery. As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Dr. Boelk has performed over 75,000 spinal decompression treatments and is known as one of the nation’s leading experts in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000—the most researched and trusted decompression system available.

Why Sciatica Happens

Sciatica develops when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated, typically by a bulging or herniated disc in the lower spine. This compression can lead to:

Over time, untreated nerve compression can worsen, limiting your movement, causing muscle loss, and disrupting your ability to sleep or work.

That’s why addressing the root cause—disc pressure on the nerve—is critical.

How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

Unlike traditional traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 system gently and precisely stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs, helping to draw bulging or herniated material back into position. This process:

  1. Reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve

  2. Restores nutrient and oxygen exchange to the disc

  3. Promotes natural disc healing and rehydration

  4. Improves spinal mobility and alignment

Each treatment session is fully customized to the patient’s spinal condition, weight, and comfort level. This precision, along with individualized protocols, is what makes the DRX9000 different—and why research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Mayo Clinic supports its effectiveness.

Real Patient Success Stories

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michael Langsdale – San Diego, CA
“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!”

Summary:
After trying other offices with outdated traction systems, Michael experienced significant relief after just one decompression session and was completely pain-free after twelve.

I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

Calder Pearce – San Diego, CA
“Dr. Boelk and his team are the best in the business! I have had lower back problems for over 5 years and been to 6 other doctors seeking options other than surgery. I came in early January not able to bend and walking with a limp. By February I was able to bend again with minimal pain and by March I am now able to bend without any pain and am able to walk normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk. Trust him and the process and he will get you feeling better. He also said from the beginning that if at any stage in the process he felt like progress wasn't happening he would let me know which was not the case with other specialists I have seen in the past so I appreciate that.”

Summary:
Calder avoided the surgery that six other doctors recommended. Within two months of decompression therapy, he regained full range of motion and a normal walking pattern.

Amanda S. – San Diego, CA
“Last year, I spent three months constantly going back and forth between doctor’s appointments and urgent care. The pain was unbearable—I was taking medication regularly just to get through the day. Getting out of bed was excruciating, and walking or standing felt like torture. Every step filled me with dread.
In December, my doctor finally ordered an MRI. That’s when I learned I had an extruded disc pressing on my L5 nerve, which affects the leg and foot. My doctor scheduled two follow-up appointments: one for pain management (spinal injections), and another to evaluate me for surgery.
Then I discovered spinal decompression therapy. I was thrilled to find a non-invasive alternative. I never ended up needing either of those appointments.
Now, I’m walking regularly, standing up straight—something I couldn’t do before. When I first sought help, I was so hunched over that I had to use a cane just to move forward. Because of the pain, I hadn’t exercised in months. But now, I’m doing a program called 75 hard which requires not one but two 45-minute workouts per day, and I've even gotten back to lifting weights!
I’m so thankful I found this place. It’s conveniently located near my work, which makes it easy to fit sessions into my lunch break. Dr. Boelk and the staff are incredibly friendly and polite—it’s always a pleasure to come in.
The environment is so relaxing that I look forward to each visit. I truly thank God for leading me to this alternative. It’s made such a difference in my life.”

Summary:
Amanda avoided both injections and surgery after discovering decompression. She went from barely walking with a cane to working out twice daily and living pain-free.

Abel T. – San Diego, CA
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.
I came in and talked to Dr. Cassidy about my back problems. He evaluated me and mentioned I was a good candidate for this treatment. After the first 2 decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, after which I was able to start rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.
The office is super nice and the staff’s customer service is above and beyond.
Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, walking, sleeping well, and starting to have a better social life as well.
The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

Summary:
Abel’s sciatica had taken a physical and emotional toll. After only two sessions, his pain was gone, and by the end of treatment, he regained full mobility and his quality of life.

Jayson Yavorsky – Oceanside, CA
“There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life.
It was a regular routine of adjustments and exercises. A change of life patterns but 110% worth every effort. I have since had my wife, daughter, mother, father and multiple friends and clients visit Dr. Boelk. All thanking me for the referral. Last one was my firefighting friend that had horrible sciatica. He is now on the recovery train.
So without a doubt, if you are on the verge of surgery, don't do it until you give this Dr. a chance to examine you first. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair. I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!”

Summary:
Jayson’s pain had taken over his life. After completing decompression care, he returned to surfing, golf, and hockey—pain-free—and continues to refer family and friends.
