San Diego Sciatica Pain Relief Therapy A Comprehensive Approach

Sciatica can disrupt every aspect of your life—your work, sleep, and even simple daily activities. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients find relief from sciatica pain using a proven combination of advanced therapies, including Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) and tailored treatment plans designed by Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in your body—becomes irritated or compressed. This nerve originates in the lower back, travels through the hips and buttocks, and extends down each leg.

Common Causes of Sciatica:

• Herniated or Bulging Discs: Discs pressing on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal.
• Piriformis Syndrome: A muscle in the buttocks compresses the nerve.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on the spine impacting nerve function.

Symptoms of Sciatica:

• Sharp or Shooting Pain: Often radiates from the lower back down to the legs.
• Numbness or Tingling: Common in the legs or feet.
• Muscle Weakness: Difficulty standing, walking, or lifting the affected leg.
• Pain that Worsens with Movement: Especially sitting or bending.

Why Sciatica Hurts So Much

The sciatic nerve is responsible for transmitting signals between your lower back, legs, and feet. When compressed or irritated, this nerve can send intense pain signals that feel sharp, burning, or electric. Unlike localized pain, sciatica often affects large areas of the body, making it incredibly disruptive and difficult to ignore.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

At our clinic, we use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) to treat the root cause of sciatica by targeting the spinal discs and nerves.

How NSSD Works:

1. Relieves Pressure: The advanced DRX 9000 machine gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This allows bulging or herniated discs to retract, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
2. Promotes Healing: Improved blood flow and nutrient delivery aid in the repair of damaged tissues.
3. Non-Invasive: Completely pain-free with no downtime or risks associated with surgery or injections.

Why the DRX 9000 is the Gold Standard:
We exclusively use the DRX 9000, the most advanced spinal decompression machine available, ensuring precise and effective treatment for sciatica pain.

NSSD is Just One Part of the Solution

While NSSD is highly effective, it is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to treating sciatica. Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC takes a comprehensive approach, addressing the root cause of your pain and preventing future issues.

2. Stretching Exercises: Targeting the hamstrings and lower back can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
3. Maintain Good Posture: Use ergonomic chairs and avoid slouching to minimize strain on your spine.
4. Apply Heat or Ice: Heat relaxes muscles, while ice reduces inflammation and pain.
