“I Was Able to Sleep Without Pain Again”
“I herniated my L4-L5 disc. MRI showed it was 0.9 centimeters out of place, which is, they were surprised I was even walking.
I had terrible sciatica. I could barely sleep.
I went to a different decompression clinic first, but they had inferior tables and I actually got worse.
After wasting money somewhere else, I came here.
The first night after treatment I was able to sleep throughout the night without pain.
After about three months of treatment, I was able to surf again, hike again, and get back to normal activities.”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA

2 Things Some Patients May Try at Home
⚠️ These movements are NOT appropriate for everyone.
If symptoms worsen significantly:
- stop immediately
- avoid pushing through severe pain
- seek proper evaluation
1. Relaxed Prone Lying
Some patients dealing with disc-related sciatica may temporarily feel relief laying relaxed on their stomach for several minutes.
This should be:
- passive
- relaxed
- comfortable
NOT:
- forceful
- painful
- aggressive extension stretching
2. Gentle Standing Back Bends
For SOME patients, gentle standing back bends may temporarily help reduce irritation aggravated by prolonged sitting or bending forward.
⚠️ Stop immediately if symptoms worsen further down the leg.
These movements are sometimes directional-preference based, which is why proper assessment matters.
“After Trying Everything Under the Sun…”
“For the first time in 10 years, I am totally pain free. My sciatica is gone and I have no more back pain!
I've had back pain and sciatica for over 10 years and after trying everything under the sun I was skeptical that anything could help me.
Dr. Boelk and his staff were incredibly professional and truly cared about helping me get better.”
— Rosa Algravez, San Diego, CA
