Title: Sciatica Pain Relief in Kearny Mesa CA: Advanced Solutions with Dr. Boelk and the DRX 9000
Are you searching for effective relief from sciatica pain? Understanding the development of sciatica, how to prevent it, and effective treatment options can significantly enhance your quality of life. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC specializes in using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) with the DRX 9000 system to treat sciatica effectively. Learn why this combination is considered one of the best approaches for managing and alleviating sciatica pain.
Understanding Sciatica: Causes and Prevention
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down to the buttocks and legs. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc or bone spur on the spine compressing part of the nerve. This compression causes inflammation, pain, and often some numbness in the affected leg.
Preventing sciatica involves several lifestyle adjustments and ergonomic practices:
Maintain Proper Posture: Keeping a correct posture helps reduce pressure on your lower back.
Exercise Regularly: Strengthening the core and lower back muscles can help support the spine.
Ergonomic Adjustments: Use ergonomic furniture and practice safe lifting techniques.
Healthy Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on the spine.
Effective Sciatica Management
While prevention is crucial, effective management is vital for those already suffering from sciatica. Incorporating gentle exercises, applying heat or cold packs, and occasionally using over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief. However, for more significant and persistent sciatica pain, professional treatment may be necessary.
Why NSSD Works So Well for Sciatica
NSSD has proven to be highly effective for sciatica because it directly addresses the underlying cause of nerve compression. By gently stretching the spine, NSSD creates negative pressure within the discs, which helps retract herniated or bulging discs away from the sciatic nerve. This process not only alleviates pain but also facilitates the natural healing process by promoting the flow of nutrients into the disc.
Dr. Boelk's Expertise and the DRX 9000
Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a certified expert in NSSD and has extensive experience in treating sciatica. His expertise is particularly enhanced by the use of the DRX 9000, one of the most advanced spinal decompression systems available today. The DRX 9000 is designed to provide precise and controlled spinal decompression, which improves the efficacy of the treatment significantly.
While the DRX 9000 is a powerful tool, its success largely depends on the skill and experience of the practitioner. Dr. Boelk's understanding of spinal dynamics and individualized approach to treatment ensure that each session is optimized for the best possible outcomes.

"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.

We treat both local San Diego as well as out of town residents as far away as Alaska and Spain and typically have patients from Mexico, El Centro, Calexico in our office daily. 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.
