Surgery Alternatives for Severe Sciatica in Kearny Mesa, CA
Are you living with severe sciatica and searching for a real alternative to surgery? At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in non-invasive, clinically proven treatments designed to get you lasting relief by addressing the root causes of your pain.
What is Sciatica and Why Does It Hurt So Much?
Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which travels from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. Common causes include:
- Disc bulges or herniations
- Spinal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Muscle imbalances or tightness
This often results in shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that can disrupt your ability to sit, stand, or even sleep.
Why Some Sciatica Improves While Other Cases Persist
In mild cases, symptoms may subside with rest and at-home care. However, many cases persist because the underlying issues—like compressed discs or nerve impingement—are left untreated. Without proper intervention, these conditions often worsen over time, leading to chronic pain and diminished mobility.
At-Home Care Tips for Sciatica Relief
While professional care is crucial for lasting relief, there are steps you can take to alleviate symptoms at home:
- Apply heat or ice therapy to soothe inflammation.
- Incorporate gentle stretching, such as hamstring or piriformis stretches.
- Focus on maintaining good posture to reduce nerve pressure.
If your pain persists or worsens, it's time to seek professional help.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression is a painless, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. By creating a negative pressure in the disc, it allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to flow in while flushing out inflammation. Unlike traction or inversion tables, this FDA-cleared therapy ensures spinal muscles are fully relaxed, facilitating true healing.
