Care at our Cambridge office starts with understanding exactly what's driving your symptoms.

Woburn patients appreciate that progress is measured and reassessed, so you always know where you stand. Our office is just 18 minutes from Woburn.
Office park desk workers and I-93 commuters in Woburn commonly develop chronic lower back pain and neck tension from prolonged sitting and high-stress daily driving. If any of that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. 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.

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

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.

Auto accident whiplash recovery
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.
