Sciatica Treatments Without Surgery – La Jolla, CA
Avoid Surgery. Eliminate Pain. Start Healing.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients finally find relief from sciatica — many of whom were told that surgery was their only option.

If you’re suffering from burning, sharp, or radiating leg pain, and feel like you’ve tried everything — there is a way forward.

🚨 What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is not actually a condition — it’s a symptom of nerve compression. Most commonly, this occurs when one or more spinal discs in the lower back bulge, herniate, or become compressed and begin pressing on the sciatic nerve. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the low back into the glute, hamstring, or calf, and in severe cases, all the way into the foot.

Some common causes include:

• Lumbar disc bulges or herniations

• Degenerative disc disease

• Spinal disc compression from repetitive strain or injury

• Long periods of sitting

• Lifting or bending with poor mechanics

Most patients come to us after trying injections, medications, physical therapy, or even surgery — with little or no long-term improvement.

🩺 What Dr. Boelk’s Treatments Do (and Don’t)

Dr. Boelk is a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor and Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist who has spent nearly 20 years helping patients avoid surgery and finally get real, lasting relief. He’s also performed over 65,000 spinal decompression treatments and is trusted by patients who drive and fly in from across the country and internationally.

“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... Been undergoing treatment for about 12 sessions now and the sciatica is gone and I’m almost back to normal... Definitely worth the investment!”
— Michael Langsdale

Here’s what makes Dr. Boelk’s approach different:

• ✅ We Only Use the DRX9000 — The most researched and proven spinal decompression system, backed by studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center.

• ✅ Custom Settings Every Visit — No “cookie-cutter” protocols. Each session is tailored based on your body, your symptoms, and your response to care.

• ✅ Active Therapy Integration — Lasting relief requires more than just passive treatment. We combine Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression with exercises that address the root cause and prevent relapse.

• ✅ We Don’t Accept Every Case — Every patient is carefully evaluated during a no-charge consultation. If we don’t believe we can help, we’ll let you know upfront.

“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 March I am now able to bend without any pain and walk normally.
I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk... He said from the beginning that if he didn’t see progress, he’d tell me — which was not the case with other specialists I’ve seen.”
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA

🔬 Why Not All Spinal Decompression is the Same

The DRX9000 is not the same as traction tables, inversion, or lower-cost decompression systems. Many patients come to us after trying “decompression” elsewhere with no success — only to experience real relief here.

“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs and one is touching the nerve. I have the spinal decompression treatment and it really helps keep me in my active life. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment — this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom

Each patient is given a unique protocol based on their body’s needs — including decompression duration, force settings, angles, and accompanying therapy. Our approach focuses not just on relieving pain, but fixing the root problem.

💪 Why Active Therapy is Essential

Pain relief is only part of the journey. Sciatica relief that lasts comes from correcting the mechanical imbalances that led to the issue in the first place.

That’s why Dr. Boelk integrates spinal stabilization, postural retraining, and individualized mobility work alongside decompression — all tailored to your progress.

“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for several hours a day, to being able to live my life normally... The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is so critical to maintaining results and reducing pain... One of the best decisions I made for my back!”
— Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA

⏳ What to Expect & How to Get Started

Every patient starts with a no-charge consultation to determine if they’re a candidate for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. We’ll go over your imaging (if you have it), assess your condition, and give you real answers — no pressure, no gimmicks.

“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots and the threat of surgery, I found Dr. Boelk online... I am now pain free after 18 treatments. I plan to continue a maintenance routine and I’m finally feeling zero discomfort. No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk’s recommended plan.”
