Spinal Decompression for Sciatica – La Jolla, CA

Lasting Relief for Sciatic Nerve Pain Without Surgery

Just a short drive from downtown La Jolla, patients seeking non-surgical relief from sciatica and disc pain find lasting results with Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC — one of California’s most experienced spinal decompression doctors.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, widely recognized as the gold standard for spinal healing and nerve decompression.

For more than 21 years, Dr. Boelk has helped patients from La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Del Mar, Chula Vista, Mira Mesa — and even across the U.S. and abroad — achieve real, lasting relief without surgery, injections, or addictive medications.

💡 Why Sciatica Often Doesn’t Go Away on Its Own

Sciatica happens when a spinal disc or vertebra compresses the sciatic nerve, creating pain, tingling, and weakness that can radiate from the lower back through the hip and leg.

Common causes include:

• Disc bulges or herniations pressing on the nerve

• Degenerative disc disease causing space loss and inflammation

• Disc protrusions or extrusions irritating nerve roots

• Facet joint compression or instability

While stretching, massage, or medication may offer brief relief, they rarely address the root cause — disc compression.
Without restoring disc spacing and nerve mobility, pain often returns — sometimes worse than before.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

The DRX9000 system uses advanced, computer-guided precision to gently separate the vertebrae and create negative pressure inside the disc — a process called spinal imbibition.
This vacuum effect draws oxygen, water, and nutrients back into the disc, allowing it to rehydrate and heal naturally while relieving pressure from the sciatic nerve.

Benefits of the DRX9000 System:

• Relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve

• Rehydrates and restores disc height and function

• Reduces inflammation and nerve irritation

• FDA-cleared and supported by research from Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins & Mayo Clinic

• Comfortable, safe, and non-invasive — no downtime

Each patient’s program is customized to their unique spine, injury pattern, and tolerance — because precision is what makes the difference between traction and true decompression.

🌟 Real Patients, Real Results

Marlo Surovsky – San Diego, CA
“I was so tired of being in pain and felt I had tried all resources. After two unsuccessful cortisone shots in my back, my doctor began suggesting surgery. I wanted to stay as far away from the knife as possible.

Sometimes Google is magic… I found Dr. Boelk and staff at the Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center.

After a consultation where I never felt rushed and I FELT HEARD, I decided to commit to a treatment plan. I am now pain free after 18 treatments. No meds — just committing to Dr. Boelk’s recommended plan. He deserves every one of those 5-star reviews.”

Lisa S. – United Kingdom
“I travel from the UK to see Dr. Boelk and his wonderful team. I have three bulging discs, and one touches the nerve.

The spinal decompression treatment really helps keep me active and pain-free. I will not go to anyone else for back treatment — this place is number one and they genuinely care about their patients.”

Kaitelyn H. – San Diego, CA
“The care I received at Dr. Boelk’s office was so wonderful. I went from having to lay down for hours a day to being able to live normally again and even exercise.

The information and exercises Dr. Boelk provides are critical to maintaining results and freedom from pain. All the staff are so caring — it’s one of the best decisions I made for my back!”
