If you are dealing with back pain, a herniated or bulging disc, sciatica, or related conditions, flexion-distraction decompression offers a non-surgical alternative that works. Dr. Tomburo uses a specialized table that simultaneously flexes and gently stretches — or "distracts" — the spine in a rhythmic, cyclical motion.

This motion creates a slight vacuum effect that pulls herniated disc material back toward its normal position, reducing pressure on spinal nerves and allowing the healing process to begin. The procedure is traction-based but remarkably gentle: minimal force, no invasive steps, no downtime.

Conditions commonly treated with this approach:

What you gain: Relief from nerve compression, reduced inflammation, restored range of motion, widened spinal canal, and better nutrient flow within the spine for deeper healing.

The manual adjustment — also called spinal manipulation — is the foundation of chiropractic care. A substantial body of clinical research supports its effectiveness in relieving pain and restoring normal function, without drugs or invasive procedures.

Dr. Tomburo uses his hands to apply a specific, controlled force to targeted areas of the spine. The direction, size, and placement of the force are chosen based on each patient's unique spinal anatomy and the goal of the adjustment. The approach is precise, not forceful — the familiar "pop" or "crack" is simply gas releasing from a joint and is not required for the technique to work.

Manual adjustments work by:

Dr. Tomburo's hands-on approach gives him a more thorough feel for your spinal health than instrument-based methods. He can identify subtle areas of restriction and dysfunction — including areas that may appear normal externally but are contributing to your symptoms.
