Sciatica Pain Treatments Without Surgery – Kearny Mesa, CA
Patient Experience
“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 adjuments and excersises. 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 1st. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.
I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!”

What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica is not a condition—it’s a symptom.
👉 It happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed
Most Common Cause
In many cases, the source is:
👉 Pressure from a spinal disc in the lower back
This can involve:
- Herniated discs
- Bulging discs
- Degenerative disc changes
Common Symptoms
- Pain shooting down the leg
- Burning or tingling
- Numbness
- Pain that worsens with sitting
- Pain that comes and goes but never fully resolves
Why Many Treatments Don’t Work Long-Term
Most approaches focus on:
- stretching
- adjustments
- temporary pain relief
👉 But if disc pressure is the cause:
⚠️ the underlying issue is still there
How Non-Surgical Treatment Works
When someone is a candidate, treatment focuses on:
✔ Reducing Disc Pressure
- Helps relieve irritation on the nerve
- Creates a better healing environment
✔ Improving Movement Patterns
- Identifies positions that worsen symptoms
- Teaches safer movement strategies
✔ Building Stability
- Strengthens the spine and surrounding muscles
- Helps prevent recurrence
Why the DRX9000 Matters
At our office, we use the DRX9000 spinal decompression system, which allows for:
- Targeted treatment at specific spinal levels
- Real-time adjustments based on your body
- Monitoring of muscle response
- More controlled and consistent decompression
🏡 What You Can Try at Home (Safely)
✅ Do:
- Take short, frequent walks
- Change positions often
- Use lumbar support when sitting
- Maintain good posture
- Stay hydrated
⚠️ Avoid:
- aggressive stretching into pain
- prolonged sitting
- repeated forward bending
- ignoring worsening symptoms
👉 These may help reduce irritation—but won’t fix the root cause if disc pressure is involved.

Patient Experience
“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!”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
👉 Failed previous care elsewhere, then experienced rapid relief and near full recovery.
Not Everyone Is a Candidate
“Very nice Dr. and honest! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in their back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case, as I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around.”
— Toni W., Lake Elsinore, CA
👉 Even when not a candidate, patients receive clear, honest guidance.
