Lynn's revitalizing community includes a growing workforce dealing with the physical demands of construction, service industry jobs, and long daily commutes to Boston and Cambridge. If any of that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. 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.

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

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.

Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, most commonly from a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis in the lumbar spine.
Chiropractic adjustments can relieve the spinal pressure causing sciatic nerve compression. Many patients experience significant relief without surgery.
Many patients feel improvement within a few sessions. Full resolution depends on the underlying cause and may take 4-8 weeks of treatment.
