Lower back pain is one of the most common medical complaints, and one of the most effectively treated by chiropractic care. Dr. Bromberg identifies whether your pain stems from disc issues, muscle imbalance, joint dysfunction, or nerve compression, then creates a targeted treatment plan.

The city blends waterfront living with urban density and a strong sense of community. Quincy patients who have struggled with lower back pain often find that the difference here is the diagnosis. Dr. Bromberg identifies precisely what's driving your lower back pain before a single Spinal Decompression Therapy session begins, just 20 minutes from Quincy.

Your first visit centers on an accurate diagnosis, because effective treatment depends entirely on getting that right. Treating spinal decompression therapy effectively usually requires addressing both the painful area and the mechanics around it, which is exactly how Dr. Bromberg structures your care. Quincy patients appreciate that progress is measured and reassessed, so you always know where you stand. Our office is just 20 minutes from Quincy.
We see it every week. Quincy's growing population of young professionals, combined with longtime residents managing age-related conditions, creates strong demand for both sports injury treatment and chronic pain management. Recognizing these patterns early is what separates a quick recovery from a chronic problem, and it's the reason we treat the cause rather than just the symptom.

You lie on a specialized table, comfortably clothed, with a harness that targets one spinal segment. The table applies gentle, cyclic stretching, easing tension on and off in a controlled rhythm. That cycling creates a slight vacuum inside the targeted disc, which draws displaced disc material back toward the center and away from the irritated nerve, and pulls water, oxygen and nutrients into tissue that otherwise has a poor blood supply. Because the tension comes and goes, the protective muscle guarding that plain sustained traction provokes does not kick in. Decompression is rarely used alone: Dr. Bromberg combines it with adjustments, soft tissue work and a short home exercise program.
15 to 30 minutes
12 to 20 sessions over about 6 weeks
2 to 3 visits a week at first, tapering as you improve
Adjustments, soft tissue work and home exercises

Disc tissue heals slowly, so this is a course, not a single visit. Here is the usual shape of it for an appropriate candidate. Your own timeline is set at your evaluation and revised on real progress.
Radiating leg or arm pain, numbness or tingling, pain that gets worse with sitting, bending or coughing. Exam or imaging findings consistent with a disc bulge, herniation or degeneration. Often months of rest, medication or local treatment that has not changed anything.
Sessions two to three times a week, each paired with an adjustment. Most appropriate candidates notice the first meaningful change here: less intensity, shorter flare-ups, sitting that is easier to tolerate.
Radiating symptoms typically retreat toward the spine, a sign the nerve is under less pressure. Visits taper. Rehab exercises take a bigger share of each session so the change holds once the table work stops.
A re-evaluation confirms what resolved and what, if anything, still needs attention. The home program continues. Patients who keep up the exercises hold their results best; a short tune-up course later is uncommon but available.
Relieves pressure on a herniated or bulging disc without surgery or injections
Takes the load off the nerve root behind sciatica and radiating arm pain
Rehydrates thinned, degenerated discs that heal slowly on their own
Comfortable, 15 to 30 minute sessions with no downtime
