What Can I Do for My Herniated Disc? – Kearny Mesa, CA
Living with a herniated disc can stop life in its tracks. Sharp pain shooting down your leg, trouble sleeping, or not being able to sit comfortably at work are problems we hear about every day from patients in Kearny Mesa. If you’re wondering “What can I do for my herniated disc?” there are safe and proven answers.
Why Herniated Discs Hurt
A disc herniates when its soft inner layer pushes out against nearby nerves. This causes sciatica, back pain, weakness, and tingling. Medications may cover up the pain temporarily, but they don’t correct the cause.
At-Home Tips to Try Now
These steps won’t fix a herniated disc but may help ease irritation and support your back:
- Light movement: Short walks keep blood flowing and reduce stiffness.
- Stretch breaks: Stand up and move every 30 minutes.
- Cold and heat: Ice calms swelling, while heat eases muscle tightness.
- Gentle core exercises: Bird dogs and pelvic tilts help stabilize your spine.
A Better Option Than Surgery
Many patients in Kearny Mesa come to us after being told surgery was their only choice. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use the DRX9000, a proven system that reduces pressure inside the disc and allows it to heal naturally. With 7 DRX9000 machines in one office and more than 75,000 treatments performed, this is California’s largest decompression center.
“Dr. Boelk & his staff are by far the BEST at spinal decompression. I walked into his office unable to sit to do my job, and within a couple of weeks, he helped me sit again. His attention and the way he makes you feel is unparalleled.” – Erin T., San Diego
“After suffering from debilitating sciatica for months, I found relief with Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression at Dr. Boelk’s clinic. I was able to run my 50k race after we fixed me up!” – Pamela, San Diego
What You Can Do Next
Not everyone qualifies for decompression treatment. Each case is carefully evaluated, and we see patients on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure proper time is dedicated to every evaluation. Waiting often makes disc problems harder to treat.
We offer a no-charge consultation so you can learn if you’re a candidate without risk or obligation.
