Spinal Decompression for Sciatica – San Diego, CA

Fast, Lasting, Non-Surgical Pain Relief

If you’re struggling with sciatica, you already know the frustration — sharp, radiating pain down your leg, constant back stiffness, and restless nights hoping it will go away on its own. Unfortunately, in most cases, it doesn’t.

That’s because sciatica isn’t just a muscle or nerve issue — it’s a disc problem. When a spinal disc compresses or bulges, it places pressure on the sciatic nerve. The pain, tingling, or numbness you feel is the nerve signaling distress. Unless that pressure is relieved at the source, the pain often returns or worsens.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC has helped thousands of patients achieve real, lasting relief from sciatica without surgery, drugs, or injections. For over 21 years, he has specialized exclusively in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, providing precision treatment that targets the root cause of nerve compression.

💡 Why Sciatica Often Persists

While rest, stretching, and medication can temporarily dull the pain, they don’t fix what’s happening inside the spine. Sciatica is most often caused by:

• Herniated or bulging discs pressing on the sciatic nerve

• Degenerative disc disease reducing disc height and space

• Disc protrusions or extrusions causing inflammation and compression

• Nerve entrapment from spinal misalignment or swelling

These conditions require decompression — not traction, inversion, or stretching — but true, controlled spinal decompression that gently separates the vertebrae to relieve pressure and restore disc health.

⚙️ How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works

Using advanced computer-controlled technology, the DRX9000 precisely adjusts spinal pressure to create a vacuum effect inside the disc — known as spinal imbibition. This allows oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to flow back in, helping the disc rehydrate and heal naturally.

Benefits of the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System:

• Directly relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve

• Rehydrates spinal discs and restores normal spacing

• Reduces inflammation and nerve irritation

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

• Comfortable, safe, and highly effective — with no downtime

Each treatment is fully customized. Settings such as angle, pressure, and pull sequence are unique to every patient’s anatomy and condition — a key reason why results vary so widely between true DRX9000 providers and generic “traction” systems.

🌟 Real Patient Results

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 and then started rehabilitation training to strengthen my core.

The experience for me has been nothing but excellent. Dr. Cassidy Boelk is hands down amazing—super glad I came here.”

June 8, 2025 – Amanda S., San Diego, CA
“This review is long overdue. I came here initially with skepticism but also hope—they were my last resort for ongoing back issues after a whiplash injury in 2022.

I had tried just about everything: sports massages, chiropractors, cupping, acupuncture—nothing gave me lasting relief. That changed when I started spinal decompression therapy here. From the beginning, they were upfront and let me know it might take 12 or more sessions to feel significant relief.

That moment came after just six sessions. The relief this treatment provides has been life-changing. Honestly, I’d pay even more for the results I’ve experienced.”
