At The Family Wellness Center, Dr. Michael Berlin takes a unique hands-on approach to spinal decompression rather than relying solely on a computerized machine.
This allows for greater sensitivity, precision, and control throughout the treatment process, helping to decompress the discs in a gentler, more thorough, and personalized way. The result is improved comfort, better outcomes, and care tailored to each patient’s specific condition.
Spinal decompression is commonly used when a herniated spinal disc places pressure on nearby nerves and causes intense, radiating pain. This is not ordinary soreness. Disc-related nerve irritation can create severe symptoms that affect walking, standing, sleep, work, and daily life.
At The Family Wellness Center, we focus on helping patients with serious disc-related pain find a more targeted, non-surgical path toward relief and improved function.
When a spinal disc becomes injured or herniated, it can irritate or compress nearby nerves. This often causes pain that extends far beyond the spine itself. Many patients feel pain in the low back, but the most distressing symptoms are often in the buttock, leg, calf, or foot.
Disc-related pain may feel like burning, electrical pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or instability. Some people notice they cannot walk normally, feel unsteady, or begin developing drop foot.
Common causes include auto accidents, work-related injuries, slip and falls, repetitive physical strain, prolonged poor posture, and periods of extreme stress that increase tension and load on the spine.
If your pain is radiating down the leg or affecting balance and movement, it may be more than back pain. It may be a disc and nerve problem that needs focused care.
Herniated disc pain can become debilitating. When nerve pressure leads to burning, numbness, weakness, or balance changes, the problem may be progressing beyond simple muscular tension. Early evaluation and targeted decompression care may help reduce nerve stress and support safer movement.
Unlike most decompression offices that use robotic machines, Dr. Berlin is specially trained to exactly identify and gently release disc pressure BY HAND! This gets more targeted and long-lasting results.
Sciatic pain often travels through the buttock, leg, calf, and foot. Our approach focuses on the source of that nerve irritation rather than only the area where the pain is felt.
Burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, and instability can signal nerve involvement. We assess these patterns to help determine how disc stress may be affecting movement and function.
Every disc injury presents differently. Your care plan is based on symptom severity, nerve patterns, mobility restrictions, and how the pain is affecting your quality of life.
We use spinal decompression techniques to help reduce pressure on affected discs and nerves, especially in cases involving sciatic pain and radiating lower body symptoms.
Auto accidents, work injuries, falls, and long- term poor posture can all contribute to disc damage. We look at the mechanical stresses that may be driving your symptoms.
Restore spinal alignment, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural healing with gentle chiropractic adjustments tailored to your individual needs.
Personalized nutrition guidance designed to address the root causes of health concerns, improve overall wellness, and support long-term healthy living.

Disc injuries and nerve compression often develop after a specific event or repeated stress on the spine.
In many cases, the original injury may have happened weeks or months earlier before symptoms began worsening.
Spinal decompression may be considered when patients are dealing with symptoms such as:
These symptoms can indicate that a disc problem is affecting the nerves and should be taken seriously.
At The Family Wellness Center, we understand how intense herniated disc pain can become. When pain radiates into the buttock, leg, calf, or foot and is accompanied by numbness, tingling, weakness, or balance issues, focused spinal decompression care may help support recovery and better movement.
