Severe Sciatica Pain Relief Kearny Mesa CA
Sciatica is more than just a minor inconvenience; it's a pervasive issue that affects countless individuals, leading to significant physical discomfort and emotional distress. Understanding the origins of sciatica, its impact on daily living, and the essential nature of addressing its root cause is crucial for anyone suffering from this debilitating condition. This article explores the development of sciatica, its extensive effects, and why solving the underlying issue is vital—beyond mere symptom management through drugs, injections, or surgery.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down through the hips and buttocks and along each leg. Typically, the condition affects only one side of the body. Sciatica commonly stems from an underlying spinal condition such as a herniated disk, bone spur, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis), which compresses part of the nerve. This compression causes inflammation, pain, and often some numbness in the affected leg.
The Multifaceted Impact of Sciatica
Physically, sciatica can be excruciatingly painful, making it difficult to stand, sit, and maintain comfortable positions for sleeping. The chronic pain, which can be sharp and debilitating, severely limits mobility and physical activity. Emotionally, the persistent discomfort can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression, as individuals struggle with the impact of their pain on work, personal life, and their ability to engage in leisure activities.
Why Addressing the Cause is Crucial
Treating sciatica with medications, injections, or surgery often only addresses the symptoms rather than the cause. While these methods can provide temporary relief, they frequently fail to prevent future episodes, leaving patients in a cycle of pain and frustration. Moreover, reliance on medications can lead to side effects and dependencies, while surgery carries its own risks and often requires a lengthy recovery period.

"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.
It was a regular routine of adjuments and excersises. 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
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.
