Sciatica Pain Relief In San Diego CA

 

If you’re suffering from sciatica and seeking fast pain relief in San Diego, CA, you’re not alone. Sciatica can be a debilitating condition, but understanding its causes and knowing what you can do to alleviate it can set you on the path to recovery. Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC, a Certified Spinal Decompression Doctor at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, is here to help you understand sciatica and provide effective treatment solutions.

What is Sciatica and How Does it Occur? Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It typically occurs when this nerve is compressed or irritated.

Common Causes of Sciatica Several conditions can cause sciatica, including:

Herniated Discs: When the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer casing and presses on the nerve. Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, which can compress the nerve. Piriformis Syndrome: When the piriformis muscle in the buttocks spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve. Degenerative Disc Disease: The wear and tear on spinal discs over time can cause nerve irritation. Self-Help Strategies for Sciatica Pain Relief While professional treatment is often necessary, there are steps you can take on your own to help alleviate sciatica pain:

Stretching Exercises: Gentle stretching of the lower back, hips, and legs can help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Hot and Cold Therapy: Alternating between hot and cold packs can reduce inflammation and ease pain. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Medications like ibuprofen can help manage pain and reduce inflammation. Maintain Good Posture: Ensure your workspace is ergonomically friendly and avoid sitting for long periods. Stay Active: Light activities, like walking, can promote healing without putting too much strain on your back. Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is Effective Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) targets the exact cause of sciatica rather than just alleviating symptoms. This treatment involves gently stretching the spine, which changes its force and position. This process helps relieve pressure off the spinal discs, creating a negative pressure within the disc that allows bulging or herniated discs to retract. By addressing the root cause of sciatica, NSSD provides lasting relief and helps prevent future episodes.

"Had terrible low back pain last year, had gone with a traditional chiropractor but didn’t feel it was doing much. Went to this place and after talking to Dr Boelk decided to try spinal decompression therapy. After 3 session my pain was almost completely gone. The staff is very professional and friendly. A big plus is how you get to go at your appointment time instead of waiting. I would say the only negative is that is not covered by insurance so you have to pay out of pocket but it you can afford it is 100% worth it." - Edgar R. San Diego, CA

"This place is amazing, the staff is friendly and I'd recommend this place to anyone who needs it. I recently discharged from the military with quite a few injuries, and extremely bad back pain. Since then I have seen dozens of incompetent doctors that have had no real interest in treating me, only interest is selling me the next pill or vaccine. Dr. Boelk is not one of those doctors, this man is professional/ knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. I have had nothing short of a great experience in this office. His nurse Megan is also very polite and caring for their patients. These days it is very difficult to find a genuine medical professional, so when I do find them I feel that the world needs to know. This man is a good dude." - Donnie Martin, San Diego, CA

"There is not enough room to explain the relief Dr. Boelk has brought to me and my entire family. I found him after a year of sciatic pain. Couldn't play the sports I loved, no hockey, golf or surfing. The pain shooting from my hip to my left foot was to the point of unbearable. I had been visiting chiropractors since I was 18, temporary relief, but nothing consistent. Acupuncture helped a bit, physical therapy was unmanageable. I couldn't get a solid night sleep and didn't care to go on. But Then I met the Dr! I tell people regularly, he saved my life.

 A change of life patterns but 110% worth every effort. I have since had my wife, daughter, mother, father and multiple friends and clients visit Dr. Boelk. All thanking me for the referral. Last one was my firefighting friend that had horrible sciatica. He is now on the recovery train.

So without a doubt, if you are on the verge of surgery, don't do it until you give this Dr a chance to examine you 1st. He is honest, he will tell you if you are beyond repair.

I trust him with my life and my back. So should you!" - Jayson Yavorsky

 

 

Rated the #1 Spinal Decompression office in San Diego for many reasons. Here is a quick guide to finding the best office when searching for Spinal Decompression:

1. Does the office specialize In Spinal Decompression or is it just one of many multiple treatments they offer? We have seen many patients come from other offices who said they are specialists and experts in spinal decompression but only treat 3 or 4 patients a day on decompression.

2. Is the doctor or staff actually getting the patients on the treatments? Spinal Decompression is a specialized skill and requires daily decision making and protocols vary from person to person, it is not a one size fits all approach. Many patients come from different offices and inform us they were getting decompression but it was done by the staff and many times they are in pain when on the tables. The treatments should not be painful but feel good.

3. Is the doctor Certified? There are many doctors who are utilizing spinal decompression who are not certified. It is best to see someone who took the time and learned the process and is certified.

4. Do they have a good reputation and reviews that report the doctor and office and staff are looking out for the patient and there is a common theme of the doctor caring and wanting the best for their patients?

5. Experience? How long has the office been utilizing spinal decompression? How many sessions have they performed? You want to see someone who has a lot of experience and knowledge in their field when looking for spinal decompression offices.

Spinal Decompression is a very relaxing, comfortable and effective treatment that helps patients with the following conditions:

Chronic Lower Back Pain

Neck Pain

Herniated Discs

Slipped Discs

Pinched Nerves

Disc Bulges

Degenerative Disc Disease

Sciatica

Spinal Stenosis

Neuropathy

With true spinal decompression, we can get water, oxygen and nutrients into the disc itself while flushing out swelling and inflammation which is adding to the pain. With traction and inversion tables the spinal muscles are unable to fully relax and thus they stay somewhat activated which then prevents the discs from getting into a negative pressure and healing properly and getting rid of the pain as much as possible.
