Spinal Decompression for Sciatica Pain in San Diego, CA
Are you struggling with sciatica pain and searching for a long-term solution that doesn’t involve surgery, injections, or medications? You’re not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) to provide fast, effective, and lasting relief from sciatica pain.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. Many people believe sciatica is only pain running down the back of the leg, but that’s not always the case. Sciatica symptoms can vary and include:
✅ Pain in the glutes or buttocks (without any leg pain)
✅ Pain running down the back, side, or even the front of the leg
✅ Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg, foot, or toes
✅ A burning or electric-shock-like sensation
✅ Pain that worsens when sitting or standing for long periods
This variation in symptoms happens because the sciatic nerve branches out and controls different areas of the leg. Compression at the spinal level can lead to irritation and pain patterns that don’t always follow the textbook “pain down the back of the leg” description.
What Causes Sciatica?
The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated or bulging disc in the lower back, which puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. Other causes include:
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease (disc wear and tear over time)
- Spondylolisthesis (misalignment of the vertebrae)
- Piriformis syndrome (muscle tightness compressing the sciatic nerve)
Regardless of the cause, the key to lasting relief is addressing the root issue—spinal disc compression.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Relieves Sciatica Pain
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use the most advanced FDA-cleared DRX9000 spinal decompression machines—proven through research at Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.
How Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Spinal decompression is a gentle, computerized treatment that relieves pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Here’s how it works:
- You lie comfortably on the DRX9000 decompression table.
- The machine applies precise, controlled traction to the spine, creating a vacuum effect inside the disc.
- This vacuum effect pulls bulging or herniated disc material back into place, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Increased circulation brings oxygen and nutrients into the disc, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Each session lasts about 25–30 minutes, and patients often experience significant relief within the first few treatments.
Why Does NSSD Work So Well?
Unlike medications, injections, or even chiropractic adjustments that only mask the pain, spinal decompression treats the root cause—disc compression and nerve irritation—allowing your body to heal naturally.
