Spinal Decompression Therapy for Sciatica – San Diego, CA
Many people suffering from sciatica eventually begin searching online for:
- spinal decompression therapy
- non-surgical sciatica treatment
- DRX9000
- alternatives to injections or surgery
- ways to relieve disc pressure naturally
One reason is because sciatica can become extremely frustrating when symptoms continue returning despite:
- stretching
- medications
- injections
- physical therapy
- chiropractic treatment
- massage therapy
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC regularly evaluates patients suffering from:
- severe sciatica

- nerve irritation
- sitting intolerance

Many patients come to the office after trying multiple treatments without lasting improvement.
As a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist, founder of the Spinal Decompression Training Academy, and a doctor who has personally performed over 100,000 spinal decompression treatments, Dr. Boelk focuses heavily on identifying whether spinal disc pressure and nerve irritation may actually be contributing to symptoms.
“I Was Able to Surf Again and Sleep Through the Night”
“I herniated my L4-L5 disc. The MRI showed it was 0.9 centimeters out of place and they were surprised I was even walking.
I had terrible sciatica and could barely sleep.
I went to a different decompression clinic first, but they had inferior tables and I actually got worse.
After wasting a bunch of money there, 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 went to Italy and I was good to go. I was able to surf again, hike again, and get back to normal activities.
These guys are the best. The staff is amazing and everyone really cares about you.”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
Many patients are surprised to learn that not all spinal decompression treatment, equipment, or protocols are the same.

What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce pressure affecting spinal discs and nearby nerves.
In certain patients, spinal decompression may help reduce irritation associated with:
- disc bulges
- disc herniations
- sciatica
- nerve compression
- chronic low back pain
- neck pain
Many patients searching for spinal decompression therapy are looking for alternatives before considering:
- injections
- surgery
- long-term medication use
Common Signs Disc Pressure May Be Involved
Some common symptoms include:
- pain with sitting
- sciatica into the leg
- numbness or tingling
- burning pain
- calf tightness
- worsening symptoms driving
- pain bending forward
- recurrent flare-ups
- difficulty sleeping comfortably
These are common patterns Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC evaluates daily in patients seeking non-surgical solutions for chronic low back pain and sciatica.
Why Some Patients Search for the DRX9000 Specifically
Many patients eventually discover that not all spinal decompression systems are identical.
Differences may include:
- machine quality
- pull consistency
- patient positioning
- treatment progression
- provider experience
- protocol customization
At our office, Dr. Boelk exclusively uses DRX9000 True Spinal Decompression Systems.
The office currently houses 7 DRX9000 units — making it one of the largest spinal decompression facilities in California.
Treatment protocols are individualized based on:
- symptom behavior
- MRI findings
- movement patterns
- disc involvement
- nerve irritation
- patient tolerance
Research involving spinal decompression has been associated with:
- Johns Hopkins University
- Stanford University
- Duke Medical Center
- Mayo Clinic
“I Actually Got Worse Somewhere Else First”
“I went to another decompression clinic first and actually got worse before finally coming here.”
— Michael Langsdale, San Diego, CA
This is one reason Dr. Boelk emphasizes that proper assessment, individualized protocols, and treatment progression matter significantly when treating disc-related conditions and sciatica.
Not every patient responds the same way.
Not every machine functions the same way.
And not every condition should be treated identically.
Why Active Rehabilitation Still Matters
Dr. Boelk strongly emphasizes that spinal decompression is only ONE component of treatment.
Long-term improvement often also requires:
- spinal stability
- posture improvement
- movement correction
- hip mobility
- strengthening
- active rehabilitation
This combined approach is designed to improve:
- symptom reduction
AND - long-term spinal function
