Severe Sciatica Pain Relief in San Diego, CA
If you’re suffering from severe sciatica pain, you’re not alone. Sciatica is a debilitating condition that can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. But there’s good news: at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in helping patients find long-lasting relief without the need for surgery or medications.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It’s often caused by compression or irritation of the nerve, commonly due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Symptoms can range from a dull ache to sharp, shooting pain, along with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an FDA-cleared therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Unlike other treatments that merely mask the pain, NSSD targets the root cause by gently stretching the spine and creating negative pressure within the discs. This process:
- Rehydrates the discs, promoting healing.
- Reduces nerve compression, alleviating pain and inflammation.
- Improves spinal alignment, addressing the mechanical issues contributing to sciatica.
Many of our patients experience significant pain relief after just a few sessions, making NSSD a game-changer for those who have tried other treatments without success.
The Importance of Active Therapy for Long-Term Relief
While NSSD is incredibly effective, it’s only part of the solution. To achieve long-term pain relief, we also incorporate active therapy into our treatment plans. Active therapy includes:
- Stability exercises to strengthen the core and hips.
- Postural correction to prevent future nerve compression.
- Flexibility and mobility work to improve spinal and hip function.
Without addressing muscle imbalances and weak areas, the pain is likely to return. Treating only the symptoms without fixing the underlying issues is like putting a band-aid on a deeper problem.
