Spinal Decompression for Sciatica in San Diego, CA
Sciatica is one of the most painful and stubborn conditions affecting the spine. It often begins as a sharp or burning pain in the lower back and quickly radiates down the leg, sometimes reaching the foot. Whether you're feeling tingling, numbness, weakness, or stabbing pain, the root issue is usually the same: nerve compression—most commonly from a herniated or bulging spinal disc.
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, patients receive expert care through Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, the most researched and effective decompression technology available.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica is not a condition—it's a symptom. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, becomes compressed or irritated. This nerve exits the lower spine and travels through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg.
Common Causes:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
- Spinal misalignment or instability
- Muscle imbalances or poor posture
- Narrowing of the spinal canal (without bony obstruction)
Once the nerve is irritated, it doesn't just “go away” with rest, ice, or even medication. If the underlying compression remains, the symptoms often persist—or return shortly after temporary relief.
Why NSSD with the DRX9000 Works So Well
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression gently stretches the spine in a highly controlled, computer-guided manner. It relieves pressure within the spinal discs and allows nutrients, oxygen, and hydration to flow back into the disc—allowing for actual healing to occur.
Here’s what NSSD does:
- Reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve
- Repositions bulging or herniated disc material
- Restores disc height and hydration
- Improves circulation to the spine
- Helps stabilize spinal function and mobility
This process is painless, safe, and highly effective when done with the right protocols and equipment—not all decompression is the same. Dr. Cassidy Boelk, DC uses only the DRX9000 system because it’s the most validated system backed by research from Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.
