Disc Issues and Spinal Decompression in Sheboygan
Understanding Spinal Disc Problems
Spinal disc problems can range from mild bulges to severe herniations, significantly impacting your quality of life and daily function. At the Wisconsin Spine Center, Dr. Kroneck specializes in treating disc-related conditions such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs, and disc protrusions or extrusions.
These issues often place excessive pressure on spinal discs and surrounding nerves, causing pain, numbness, weakness, or radiating symptoms into the arms or legs. Our comprehensive approach targets both the structural misalignments and the neurological effects of disc problems—offering real solutions to patients who may have been told there’s no hope for relief.

Advanced Spinal Decompression Therapy
At the Wisconsin Spine Center, we offer specialized spinal decompression therapy—a computerized, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on damaged or degenerated discs. Unlike traditional traction, this advanced system gently alternates between targeted pulling and relaxation phases. This rhythm creates a vacuum-like effect that encourages bulging or herniated discs to retract and promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the disc space.
By reducing nerve compression and enhancing disc hydration, decompression therapy supports the body’s natural healing process. Many patients who have undergone failed back surgery or haven’t responded to other treatments report lasting relief through this safe, comfortable, and effective approach.
Gentle Precision Adjustments for Disc Health
To complement our decompression therapy, Dr. Kroneck uses advanced handheld adjusting instruments that deliver gentle, highly precise spinal corrections—without the need for forceful twisting or cracking. This technique is especially well-suited for patients with disc issues, as it minimizes stress on compromised areas while still restoring proper alignment and function.
These instruments deliver rapid, low-force impulses that effectively bypass the body’s natural protective muscle-tightening response. The result is a comfortable, safe adjustment that helps reduce nerve irritation and improve mobility. For patients who are hesitant about traditional manual chiropractic methods—especially those with herniated or degenerative discs—this gentle, targeted approach offers a reassuring and effective solution.
Comprehensive Approach to Disc Healing
At the Wisconsin Spine Center, we believe lasting relief from disc problems requires more than just one treatment. That’s why we offer a multi-faceted approach designed to support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function. In addition to spinal decompression and gentle adjustments, your care plan may include:
- Cold Laser Therapy and Infrared Treatments – to reduce inflammation around the disc and nearby nerves.
- Specific Targeted Vibration – to improve circulation, relax muscles, and stimulate healing.
- Myofascial Release Techniques – to relieve tension and address soft tissue imbalances caused by compensatory movement patterns.
- Neurological Exercises – to enhance nervous system function and communication with the affected areas.
- Electric Muscle Stimulation (E-Stim) – to reduce pain and muscle spasms in the surrounding tissues.
Each treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to your unique condition and symptoms. By combining therapies that work synergistically, we aim to provide effective relief and support your body’s natural healing process for disc-related issues.
Supporting Your Recovery Process
Dr. Kroneck understands that disc healing requires a comprehensive approach beyond in-office treatments. During your care at the Wisconsin Spine Center, you’ll receive guidance on specific lifestyle modifications to support disc health, including proper hydration strategies, movement patterns to avoid aggravating your condition, and positions that reduce disc pressure. We’ll also recommend therapeutic exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and improve stability around the affected area. Many patients find that these supportive strategies significantly enhance their recovery and help prevent future problems.
Dr. Kroneck recognizes that true disc healing involves more than just in-office therapies—it requires a comprehensive, whole-person strategy. At the Wisconsin Spine Center, you’ll receive personalized guidance on lifestyle habits that promote disc recovery and help prevent future flare-ups. This includes:
- Hydration strategies to support disc nutrition and elasticity.
- Recommendations on posture and movement to avoid positions that place excess pressure on the discs.
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen the core and stabilizing muscles around the spine.
- Ergonomic tips and activity modifications tailored to your daily routine.
