Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA

Sciatica can quickly disrupt life in La Jolla. Whether you’re commuting along the coast, sitting at work, exercising at the gym, or simply trying to sleep comfortably, that deep, burning, or electric pain running down your leg can feel overwhelming. Most people don’t realize that the real source of this pain is usually disc pressure on the sciatic nerve — and the only way to correct it is by relieving that compression.

This is exactly what patients are looking for when they search for Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA: a treatment that doesn’t just mask symptoms but actually addresses the underlying cause.

Many La Jolla residents try stretching, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, massage, medications, or injections. While these can temporarily ease discomfort, they rarely provide lasting change because they do not reduce disc pressure. That’s why patients from all over La Jolla, Bird Rock, Torrey Pines, Pacific Beach, and the greater coastal corridor come to Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC — one of the nation’s most experienced spinal decompression doctors.

With nearly 21 years devoted exclusively to decompression care and more than 75,000 treatments performed, Dr. Boelk has helped countless patients achieve real Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA through the DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression system.

Why Sciatica Happens

Sciatica is almost always caused by a structural issue in the spine, commonly:

When disc height decreases or disc material pushes outward, the sciatic nerve becomes irritated — causing pain down the leg, numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations.

Why Most Treatments Don’t Fix Sciatica

Most standard treatments aim at temporary comfort:

These may feel helpful for a short time, but they do not decompress the disc — which is why the pain returns.

This is why people seeking Sciatica Pain Relief Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA are often looking for a more advanced, corrective solution.

⭐ Real Patient Testimonials

 

Michael Langsdale

“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!”

Brian Perrotta

“I highly recommend Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC and the team at The Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with severe sciatica and a herniated disc, and his treatments have made a world of difference. He and his staff are both professional and genuinely caring, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. The treatments were not only highly effective but also tailored to my specific needs. I’m grateful for the care I received and the significant improvement in my quality of life.”

Amanda

“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 2 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.”

Edgar R.

“Had terrible low back pain last year, had gone with a traditional chiropractor but didn’t feel it was doing much.

Went to this place and after talking to Dr Boelk decided to try spinal decompression therapy. After 3 session my pain was almost completely gone.

The staff is very professional and friendly. A big plus is how you get to go at your appointment time instead of waiting.

I would say the only negative is that is not covered by insurance so you have to pay out of pocket but it you can afford it is 100% worth it.”
