Sciatica Treatments Without Surgery – San Diego, CA
Living with sciatica can feel hopeless. That sharp, burning, or aching pain shooting down your leg can make walking, sleeping, or even sitting feel unbearable. And when you’ve already tried medications, cortisone injections, or even physical therapy without long-term success, it's easy to think that surgery might be the only option left.
But for many, surgery isn’t necessary — and with the right approach, real relief is possible.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and get back to their active lives using a highly customized, non-surgical spinal decompression protocol.
Why Sciatica Happens in the First Place
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — is irritated or compressed. Most commonly, this pressure comes from:
-
Bulging or herniated discs
-
Degenerative disc disease
-
Loss of disc height or spacing
-
Muscle imbalances pulling the spine out of alignment
The result is pain that often radiates from the lower back down the buttock, thigh, and leg — sometimes into the foot.
The root issue typically lies in the spinal disc itself — meaning the key to lasting relief isn’t just masking the pain, but actually relieving pressure on the disc and allowing it to heal.
⭐️ “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. I came in not able to bend and walking with a limp… by March, I was bending with zero pain and walking normally. I am EXTREMELY happy I did not have surgery and found Dr. Boelk.”
— Calder Pearce, San Diego, CA
What Dr. Boelk’s Sciatica Treatment Does — and Doesn’t Do
What it does:
-
Gently decompresses the spine and relieves nerve pressure
-
Creates negative pressure to draw herniated or bulging disc material back in
-
Restores fluid, nutrients, and space into the disc
-
Reduces inflammation and promotes healing
What it doesn’t do:
-
It’s not just a “traction table”
-
It’s not a one-size-fits-all program
-
It doesn’t work without proper protocols
-
It won’t last without active therapy and rehab
That’s why Dr. Boelk’s care combines Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with rehabilitative movement, spinal stability training, and lifestyle guidance — all tailored to each patient.
⭐️ “I began to explore other options and found information on spinal decompression… I’m so grateful I found Dr. Boelk and staff. After 18 treatments, I’m now pain free. No meds. Just committing to Dr. Boelk’s recommended plan.”
— Marlo Surovsky, San Diego, CA
Not All Spinal Decompression Is the Same
Some clinics offer basic traction or inferior machines that are not true decompression. That’s not what you’ll find here.
At Dr. Boelk’s office:
-
Only DRX9000 machines are used — the most advanced decompression technology available
-
These systems are supported by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, and Duke Medical Center
-
Protocols are not generic — they’re developed specifically for your spine, your goals, and your progress
And unlike many providers, Dr. Boelk personally oversees your care and reviews your progress step by step.
⭐️ “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. The sciatica is gone, and even after the first session, I had tremendous relief. Definitely worth the investment!”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
What to Expect: Personalized Care, No Guesswork
Dr. Boelk offers a no-charge consultation to determine if you’re a candidate for NSSD care. He’ll take the time to:
-
Review your condition and imaging
-
Explain what’s likely causing the pain
-
Let you know if you’re a good fit — and if not, he’ll be honest
-
Answer all your questions — including cost and treatment expectations
Some patients find relief in a few sessions. Others need a longer course of care. Either way, Dr. Boelk’s goal is to help you feel better as fast as possible and with the lowest cost necessary.
What About Cost?
If you ask about pricing during your consultation call, our team will explain:
“Every patient is different. Dr. Boelk will go over all costs and options during the no-charge consultation before anything is done — so there are no surprises. Our goal is to get you better as quickly as possible while keeping costs as low as possible.”
Some patients ask about a general range — and that’s fair.
Most patients invest anywhere from $64 to $2,000 depending on the number of sessions and therapy needed, but nothing is charged until the doctor confirms you're a good candidate and reviews everything with you in detail.
⭐️ “I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have 3 bulging discs, and one is touching the nerve. The spinal decompression keeps me active. I won’t go to anyone else — this place is number one.”
— Lisa S., United Kingdom
Sciatica Recovery That Lasts — Without Surgery
This isn’t just about getting temporary relief. Dr. Boelk’s protocols help you:
-
Fix the underlying cause
-
Improve your spinal alignment and strength
-
Return to work, sport, or daily life without fear of reinjury
And just as importantly — it’s about not wasting time or money on treatments that don’t work.
⭐️ “I went from laying down for hours every day to living normally and working up my exercise again. The exercise and information Dr. Boelk provides is critical. One of the best decisions I made for my back.”
— Kaitelyn H., San Diego, CA
