Disc injuries range from mild bulges to severe herniations that compress nerves. Dr. Bromberg specializes in non-surgical disc treatment, using precise adjustments and decompression to relieve pressure and restore function.
A coastal city best known for Revere Beach, America's first public beach.

Revere patients who have struggled with disc injuries often find that the difference here is the diagnosis. Dr. Bromberg identifies precisely what's driving your disc injuries before a single Spinal Decompression Therapy session begins, just 15 minutes from Revere.

Good outcomes start with a clear picture of the problem, which is why your first appointment is an unhurried, comprehensive assessment. Because spinal decompression therapy rarely has a single cause, your plan addresses the full chain of contributing factors, not just the spot that hurts. For residents of Revere, that combination of expertise and convenience, just 15 minutes from Revere, makes consistent care realistic.
Beach runners, construction crews, and long-distance commuters in Revere bring distinct musculoskeletal challenges, from overuse injuries to auto accident rehabilitation needs. 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.

Our Cambridge office is conveniently located for patients from Revere seeking expert disc injuries treatment.
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.

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer ring, potentially compressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Yes. Gentle spinal adjustments and decompression techniques relieve pressure on the disc and nerve, reducing symptoms without surgery in many cases.
With consistent treatment, many patients see significant improvement in 4-8 weeks. Severe cases may require longer care.
