Whether your neck pain comes from poor posture, a car accident, sleeping wrong, or years of desk work, we provide targeted cervical treatment. The focus is on fixing the structural cause, not just managing the pain.
When neck pain & stiffness affects your daily life, finding the right provider matters. Stoneham patients come to Bromberg Chiropractic, just 20 minutes from Stoneham, where Spinal Decompression Therapy addresses what's actually causing your pain. A small, community-oriented town on the edge of the Middlesex Fells. Stoneham residents tend to be active outdoors, using the Fells for hiking and mountain biking. The town's proximity to I-93 makes the drive to Cambridge straightforward. Our approach combines thorough diagnosis with hands-on treatment tailored to your specific condition.
Drive via I-93 South (20 min). Bus 132 to Sullivan Square, transfer Orange Line to Downtown Crossing, then Red Line. The drive from Stoneham takes approximately 20 minutes. Free street parking and metered spots are available on Broadway and surrounding streets.

Rather than applying the same routine to everyone, Dr. Bromberg builds each plan around your specific findings. Because spinal decompression therapy rarely has a single cause, your plan addresses the full chain of contributing factors, not just the spot that hurts. Stoneham patients appreciate that progress is measured and reassessed, so you always know where you stand. Our office is just 20 minutes from Stoneham.
Active use of the Middlesex Fells for hiking and mountain biking keeps Stoneham residents fit but also leads to ankle sprains, knee injuries, and back strains from trail falls. These everyday demands are exactly what turns a minor ache into a persistent problem when they go unaddressed, and they're a big part of why a local, individualized approach works better than generic advice.

Our Cambridge office is conveniently located for patients from Stoneham seeking expert neck pain & stiffness 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.
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
