Spinal Decompression for Sciatica – Kearny Mesa, CA

Spinal Decompression for Sciatica – Kearny Mesa, CA

Proven Relief for Sciatic Nerve Pain Without Surgery

Living with sciatica can be exhausting — that sharp, burning, or shooting pain down the leg makes it hard to sit, stand, sleep, or stay active. When you’ve tried everything from chiropractic adjustments to pain injections and still haven’t found lasting relief, it’s time for a different approach.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located near the heart of Kearny Mesa, CA, patients from across San Diego, La Jolla, Chula Vista, Mira Mesa, and even out of state and overseas come to find real, lasting relief through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system.

For nearly 21 years, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has dedicated his career exclusively to spinal decompression care, helping patients avoid surgery and get back to living pain-free.


💡 Why Sciatica Pain Often Stays — and Why It Hurts So Much

Sciatica occurs when one or more spinal discs in the lower back compress or irritate the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower spine down each leg — which is why pain, tingling, or weakness can radiate so far.

The most common underlying causes include:

Without relieving that pressure, the nerve remains irritated, creating a constant cycle of pain and inflammation. Medications, injections, or rest may mask the symptoms — but they rarely address the root cause.


⚙️ How True Spinal Decompression Works

Using advanced computer-guided precision, the DRX9000 gently stretches the spine at calculated angles and forces, creating a vacuum-like effect within the disc — a process called spinal imbibition. This negative pressure allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to re-enter the disc, helping it rehydrate and heal naturally while relieving nerve pressure.

Benefits of DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Include:

Each treatment plan is fully customized — because every spine, every injury, and every nerve pattern is unique. That’s why Dr. Boelk uses individualized decompression settings and carefully designed protocols rather than generic “traction” or “pull” programs.


🌟 Real Patients. Real Results.

September 24, 2025 – Olga S., San Francisco, CA
“Amazing as always!!! A very attentive and detail-oriented doctor, always willing to help and even dedicate time outside of working hours. The staff is also very kind and pleasant. Thanks to this doctor and his approach, I was able to avoid the surgery that had been recommended to me six years ago.”


September 6, 2024 – Juliane E., San Diego, CA
“My first few sessions did not seem promising so I stopped going and wrote an honest review. I honestly did not think any action would result after my review.

But I have to give kudos to Dr. Cassidy. He emailed me personally with a heartfelt apology and offered several options to ensure I got the care I needed. I decided to return, and the staff treated me like family.

I finished my 12 sessions, and after a two-week follow-up my pain was gone. It’s been weeks now without headaches or severe neck pain, and I’m back to exercising again. The staff and doctor genuinely want you to get better — please give this place a chance.”


March 22, 2024 – Abel T., San Diego, CA
“I had really bad back problems to the point I couldn’t sleep, also had pain radiating along the sciatic nerve which ran down one leg from the lower back—caused by an accident.

After the first two decompression sessions my sciatic pain was gone and we were able to work on the root of the problem. I did a total of 24 sessions, then started rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.

Back and neck issues are horrible to live with—trust me, I know firsthand. I gained weight, took pain killers, went into depression, and had major anxiety. I’m over it now—feeling better, sleeping well, and enjoying life again. This treatment has been life-changing.”
