Your Care Plan

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works for Lexington Patients

Every treatment plan at Bromberg Chiropractic begins with a thorough evaluation, not an assumption. For spinal decompression therapy, treatment is staged: calm the symptoms first, restore normal function next, then build the strength that keeps the problem from returning. You'll leave your first visit understanding what's wrong, what we'll do about it, and roughly how long it should take. And at just 15 minutes from Lexington, follow-up is easy to keep up with.

Youth soccer, lacrosse, and track programs in Lexington keep kids active but generate a steady stream of sports injuries. Active parents face their own overuse challenges on top of desk-job strain. If any of that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. Understanding how daily life in Lexington loads your body is the first step toward lasting relief, and it's where your evaluation begins.

How It Works

How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works

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.

Pricing

What Spinal Decompression Therapy Costs

Per session, no package to buy up front

Call (617) 494-1166 for the current self-pay rate. We quote the full course, not just the first visit, so you know the number before you start.

  • Billed per session, so you pay only for the visits you actually have. There is no prepaid package to buy.
  • Many plans cover decompression when it is part of a treatment plan for a diagnosed disc condition. Some classify it separately. We verify your benefits before the first session and tell you what, if anything, you will owe.
  • Auto accident injuries are typically covered under Massachusetts PIP regardless of fault.
  • See insurance & payment for the plans we work with.
Before and After

What Changes, and When

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.

  1. Before treatment

    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.

  2. Weeks 1 to 2

    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.

  3. Weeks 3 to 6

    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.

  4. After the course

    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.
