Non-Surgical Sciatica Leg Pain Alternatives in San Diego, CA

If you’re living with sciatica and searching for a non-surgical solution to relieve your leg pain, you’re not alone. Sciatica can be debilitating, but effective, personalized treatment can help you find relief and get back to living your life. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in helping patients with sciatica avoid surgery through a combination of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and other proven therapies.

Why Sciatica Treatment Must Be Specific and Individualized

Sciatica isn’t a one-size-fits-all condition. It occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, often due to disc bulges, herniations, or spinal stenosis. However, each patient’s pain pattern, underlying causes, and physical condition are unique.

Generic approaches to sciatica treatment often fall short because they don’t address the root causes of the pain. Dr. Boelk’s success lies in creating customized treatment plans for each patient. By identifying the specific source of your nerve irritation and addressing muscle imbalances, postural issues, and core weaknesses, we can provide targeted care that leads to faster and more sustainable relief.

The Role of Active and Passive Therapies in Sciatica Relief

Dr. Boelk uses a dual approach combining active and passive therapies to achieve exceptional results for his patients:

Passive Therapies:

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD): Using FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machines, Dr. Boelk provides gentle decompression of the spine, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and allowing for improved blood flow and healing. This is a cornerstone of his approach, particularly for patients with disc-related sciatica.
Chiropractic Adjustments: Correcting spinal misalignments helps reduce nerve interference and restore proper function.
Laser Therapy: Accelerates tissue healing and reduces inflammation, which can ease sciatica pain.

Active Therapies:

Core Stabilization Training: Strengthening the core and hip muscles reduces stress on the lower back and prevents further nerve compression.
Mobility and Flexibility Exercises: Restoring proper movement patterns helps relieve tension in muscles and joints, enhancing overall function.
Functional Movement Training: Dr. Boelk is a Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist and integrates exercises that improve strength and stability while minimizing strain on the spine.

This combination of active and passive therapies is designed not only to relieve pain but also to prevent its recurrence.

Very nice Dr. and Honest ! I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't had metal put in there back in a surgery to go to him and give his program a shot. I believe it would definitely help. Just not in my personal case. As I have a lot of hardware in my back. But I'm glad I took the time to meet with him. It was very informative all around.

To start I never thought I would say that I would be pain free.
But Dr. Boelk worked his magic.
With his expertise and specific game plan for me, he worked wonders.
During my weekly visits he made sure to check up on me from my previous visit along with my workout from the day of.
Dr. Boelk is an athlete himself, so understands the stress and everything that comes along with working out with any exercise or sport.
He made sure to modify my workouts to work for me so I wouldn't be taking steps backwards along with his treatment.

Again pain free and never going back to pain meds.
Also with the help of his wonderful staff, they made the whole process of check ins and treatments quite easy.

Even after moving across the country he keeps up with his clients and looks out for their future.
