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. For residents of Wakefield, that combination of expertise and convenience, just 20 minutes from Wakefield, makes consistent care realistic.
Lake Quannapowitt joggers and commuter-rail riders in Wakefield are active but susceptible to running injuries and the neck tension that comes from daily train commutes. If any of that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. That's why we take the time to understand your routine before prescribing a single exercise or adjustment. The goal is a plan you can realistically sustain.
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.
Our Cambridge office is conveniently located for patients from Wakefield 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
