Severe Sciatica Non-Surgical Treatments in La Jolla, CA

 

If you live in La Jolla and are struggling with severe sciatica, you know how exhausting and limiting it can be. Pain that starts in your lower back and radiates down your leg can interfere with walking, driving, working, or simply enjoying life. Fortunately, surgery and medications are not your only options.

 

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, just a short drive from La Jolla, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC provides a proven, non-invasive solution through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)—backed by cutting-edge technology, personalized care, and over two decades of experience helping patients avoid surgery.

 

🔍 Why Sciatica Happens—and Why It Doesn’t Just Go Away

Sciatica is most commonly caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated or bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, or disc collapse in the lumbar spine. When this pressure persists, so does the pain—often with tingling, numbness, or weakness extending from the lower back through the hips and down the leg.

 

Why most people don’t improve without proper care:

• Painkillers and injections mask the symptoms but don’t fix the disc damage
• Physical therapy may improve flexibility but won’t decompress the nerve
• Chiropractic adjustments alone often provide temporary relief but not long-term correction

To truly resolve sciatica, you need to remove the pressure from the nerve—safely, comfortably, and effectively.

 

✅ What Makes Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression So Effective

At our clinic near La Jolla, we use only the FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression system—the most advanced and research-supported technology for treating disc injuries and sciatica.

NSSD works by:

• Gently and precisely separating spinal vertebrae
• Creating negative pressure that pulls bulging disc material back into place
• Relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve
• Promoting nutrient exchange and disc rehydration to stimulate natural healing

This process is completely non-surgical, requires no medications, and has no downtime.

 

🔧 Why Passive Therapy Alone Isn’t Enough

Spinal decompression is a major part of the solution—but true, lasting relief also requires addressing the underlying movement faults, posture issues, and muscle imbalances that led to disc damage in the first place.

Dr. Boelk’s full-body corrective approach includes:

• Postural correction to reduce spinal stress
• Spinal and hip mobility restoration
• Stability training for core and glute muscles
• Re-training movement patterns that overload the spine
• Passive therapies like myofascial release and assisted stretching when needed

This integrated plan is tailored to each patient and evolves over time as their condition improves.
