Real Patient Experience – Severe Sciatica Relief (Avoided Injections & Surgery)

“Dr. Boelk has been a life saver. Have had constant lower back and sciatica pain for over 8 plus months, no pills helped and on track for multiple shots but with the treatment given I have found relief and down to zero pain. As a firefighter that relies on his body to help others and the results I have experienced it's totally worth looking into what Dr. Boelk can do for you.”

— Joshua T., San Diego, CA


Real Patient Experience – Multiple Disc Issues & Traveling for Care

“My name is Ira Smith. I live in Las Vegas and found out about Dr. Boelk’s program here in San Diego and decided to start treatments with him. I’ve had lower back problems since I was very young. I had aggravated my lower back pretty bad again and usually I could do exercises, chiropractic treatment, rest and this time those things would no longer relieve my pain. I would get the sciatic pain shooting down into my leg and foot and would be pretty bad.

I found out thru my MRI’s that Dr. Boelk went over with me that I had 5 protruding discs. I did not want to get surgery as I have heard and seen that they don’t always work very well at all. I am 2/3 of the way done with Dr. Boelk’s program and I have zero pain. I pretty much go thru my activities with no pain. As I follow the program it has been absolutely fantastic! I have been thru physical therapy, chiropractic programs, I went to the hospital and they told me I have 1 bad disc, but I found out I had 4 more bad discs as well. The treatment has relieved the pain and is not painful at all. This can be the starting point for anyone with back pain to get their life back.

This is the place to start. If your skeptical, what’s your health worth? The cost of this has been way less than the cost of all my other therapies that I have gone thru. This is less money than all those things, less pain and gives you a great quality of life. This is new and modern and it fixes the problem. Use Dr. Boelk’s program to change your life and it will change your life! This is the place to start. -Thank You”

What Severe Sciatica Is Actually Coming From

Severe sciatica is most often related to:

  • disc herniations
  • bulging discs
  • increased pressure inside the disc
  • irritation of nearby spinal nerves

This is why symptoms may travel far from the spine into the:

  • glute
  • hamstring
  • calf
  • foot

Why Severe Sciatica Keeps Getting Worse

Many patients have already tried:

  • physical therapy
  • chiropractic
  • medications
  • injections
  • rest

But symptoms continue because:

  • disc pressure remains elevated
  • nerve irritation persists
  • stabilizing muscles are weak
  • hip mobility limitations continue stressing the spine

Over time, this may lead to more severe or constant pain.


What Makes Our Approach Different

At many clinics, treatment focuses primarily on muscles and joints.

At our office, we focus heavily on the disc and nerve component, which is often the missing piece.

For appropriate candidates, we utilize the DRX9000.

This allows us to precisely customize:

  • spinal level
  • angle of pull
  • force
  • positioning
  • timing
  • patient tolerance

These details matter—and are one reason many patients notice a difference compared to previous treatment.


Built on Experience & Volume

Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is:

  • Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor
  • Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist
  • Founder — Spinal Decompression Training Academy
  • Founding Member — American Spinal Decompression Society (ASDS)
  • California X-Ray Radiology Licensed Doctor
  • Member — International Disc Education Association
  • Has performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments

He has also spent thousands of hours rehabbing both his own spinal injuries and those of his patients.

Patients regularly travel from:

  • Arizona
  • Nevada
  • Utah
  • Oregon
  • Alaska
  • Mexico
  • Spain
  • the United Kingdom

seeking this level of experience.


One of the Largest Decompression Facilities in California

The office currently utilizes:

  • 7 DRX9000 spinal decompression units
  • 4 lumbar systems
  • 3 cervical systems

This allows for highly consistent and individualized protocols—even in more severe cases.


What You Can Do At Home

While determining your next step, one simple position may help reduce irritation:

Supported Extension Position

  • Lie face down
  • Prop onto your forearms
  • Let your hips relax
  • Hold for 1–2 minutes
  • Breathe normally

This may help reduce disc pressure in some cases.

If symptoms worsen, stop immediately.


Important: Not Everyone Is a Candidate

Real Patient Experience – Honest Evaluation (Not a Candidate)

“I found this terrific practice on social media. I followed up and did my own research so I decided to pay them a visit. The place is clean, well organized and run by a very efficient receptionist. I met with the doctor and after a honest and forthright conversation, we both determined that surgery was my only option to correct my back issues. I will return as a customer when the time is right.”

— Jeff J., Tucson, AZ

Some patients:

  • require surgery
  • may not respond to decompression
  • need additional imaging

One of the most important parts of this process is determining that early.
