Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work or stop participating in the activities they love. Whether it’s a sharp pain in the lower back, a dull ache between the shoulder blades, or chronic stiffness from sitting at a desk, the impact on your daily life can be exhausting.
At Bomberg Chiropractic, Dr. Tom Bomberg focuses on identifying the root cause of your back pain – whether it is joint restriction, muscle guarding, or disc stress – and correcting it without drugs or surgery. Using a combination of gentle adjustments and soft-tissue therapies, Dr. B helps Minnesotans move freely again.
Many treatments, such as pain relievers or heating pads, only address the symptoms of back pain (the inflammation or muscle tightness) rather than the cause.
In many cases, back pain stems from spinal misalignment or joint fixation. When a vertebra loses its proper motion, the surrounding muscles lock up to protect the area (spasms), and nerves can become irritated.
Dr. Bomberg’s chiropractic care restores proper motion to these fixated joints. Once the spine is moving correctly, the nervous system signals the muscles to relax, providing long-term relief rather than a temporary fix.
A 92-year-old Plymouth-area man with a history of hip and knee replacements came to Bomberg Chiropractic unable to sleep or walk without a cane. Gentle, seated Activator adjustments brought relief after his very first visit, restoring sleep, mobility, and independence.
A 51-year-old Plymouth business owner came to Bomberg Chiropractic with eight-out-of-10 low back pain and minimal range of motion. X-rays revealed disc degeneration at L4-L5 and L5-S1. Consistent chiropractic care over several months restored his mobility, letting him work and golf again.

Utilizing on-site digital X-rays, Thompson Drop table adjustments, and intersegmental traction, he restored full mobility without missing gym sessions.
Back pain presents differently for everyone. Dr. Bomberg creates personalized care plans for various conditions.
Dr. Bomberg doesn't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" crack-and-pop approach. He uses several specific techniques and chiropractic services to ensure your treatment is comfortable and effective for your specific type of back pain.
This is a favorite for patients with lower back pain. It uses a specialized table with segments that drop slightly when pressure is applied. This allows Dr. Bomberg to make precise adjustments to the lumbar spine and pelvis using gravity and low force, avoiding the twisting motion some patients find uncomfortable.
Ideal for stiffness and spasms, this therapy involves a table with dual rollers that move up and down the spine. It gently stretches spinal joints, increases blood flow to discs, and helps relax tight back muscles. It is a soothing, passive way to restore mobility.
For patients whose back pain is caused by compressed or herniated discs, Dr. Bomberg offers non-surgical spinal decompression. This motorized traction therapy creates space between vertebrae to relieve nerve pressure and promote disc healing.
Depending on your preference and condition, Dr. Bomberg may use traditional manual adjustments to realign joints or the Activator instrument for a gentle, low-force correction suitable for acute pain or sensitive patients.
You shouldn't have to worry about the cost of getting your back fixed. Bomberg Chiropractic is in-network with most major insurance providers, including Medica, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicare.
If your back pain is the result of a car accident or work injury, we can bill your auto insurance or workers' compensation directly, often resulting in 100% coverage for your care.
For those without insurance, Dr. B offers affordable cash packages to ensure you get the relief you need.
