What this pillar covers
A pain control clinic is a place that treats the structure causing the pain rather than muting the signal. At ChiroMed that means imaging first, then decompression, electroanalgesia or graded rehabilitation, chosen by Dr. Justin Bergin, DC after he has read your films. Four services sit in this line and all four run at both offices.
Dr. Justin Bergin, DC performs every examination personally, 22 years into practice, at Lakeland and at Lady Lake for the Villages market.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is computer-controlled traction that creates negative pressure inside a disc, which encourages protruding material to retract and helps nutrients move back into the disc space. It is the first line of care here for a herniated or bulging disc, for degenerative disc disease and for the leg pain that travels with them. Read about computer-controlled traction for a compressed disc.
Neuromed Electroanalgesia
Neuromed electroanalgesia delivers controlled electrical stimulation aimed at nerve pain that has not responded to medication or physical therapy. It is run as a course rather than a single session, and it targets circulation and symptom control in the feet, hands and limbs. It is the service behind our peripheral neuropathy work. See the Neuromed protocol for nerve pain.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Surgery fixes a structure. It does not restore the movement lost while that structure was protected. Post-surgical recovery here is a graded program of mobility work, soft tissue treatment and progressive loading, timed around your surgeon's restrictions rather than against them. It suits patients weeks or months out from a spinal, knee or shoulder operation. Read what structured recovery after an operation looks like.
Pelvic Floor Recovery
Pelvic floor problems are common, rarely discussed and very treatable. Weakness or overactivity in those muscles shows up as leaking, urgency, pelvic pain or instability in the low back, and the usual advice stops at exercises nobody demonstrates. This program treats the pelvis as part of the spine it belongs to. See what rehabilitation for a weak or overactive pelvic floor involves.
Physical rehabilitation center
Rehabilitation is a different job from pain control, and two tracks sit under it here: post-surgical recovery and pelvic floor recovery. Both are graded programs, and both are measured in what you can do again rather than in a pain score.

Where this sits
This pillar is one of six at ChiroMed. Start at the ChiroMed practice overview to see how they fit together.
Independent background: Cleveland Clinic sets out the non-surgical options for a herniated disk.
“I have had sich a great experience seeing Dr. Bergin. When other offices have told me I just had muscle damage or the only thing they could do for me was give shots, he said he had others ways to manage my pain and numbness, along with improving mobility. And he was right! I feel so much better!”
“I have had pain in my right upper back quadrant by my shoulder blade for at least a year now and the doctors have been unsuccessful in making the pain go away. I came to Dr. Bergin looking for some help. Within 3 to 4 weeks. My pain in that area is completely gone.”
“Dr. Bergin is phenomenal. Chronic lower back issues led a different doctor to mention back surgery to me. That was not an option I wanted to entertain. After a consult with Dr. B, he was confident that he could help resolve my back issues. I’ve been seeing him weekly to resolve the issue, and I am so pleased with the results so far! More mobility, less pain, and a great customer experience.”
“I bless the day that Dr. Bergin started working on me. I have had long standing pain for so long. After just a few visits my pain left and I feel so good. He is very patient oriented and caring. I regard him highly.”
“Dr. Bergin was instrumental in relieving my back pain which I had for many years. The techniques he used on relieving my back pain were impressive. I been going to chiropractors for years and Dr. Bergin is the best.”

Pain control clinic questions
Tap a message for the honest answer. Call Lakeland (863) 940-3444
Does spinal decompression actually work?
It works for a defined group of people: those whose pain is driven by pressure inside a disc, confirmed on imaging, without a surgical lesion or a red flag. It is not a general back pain treatment, and anyone who sells it as one is overselling. Dr. Bergin reads your films before recommending it, and he will tell you when you are not a candidate rather than start a course anyway.
the clinic teamWill insurance pay for spinal decompression?
Coverage varies by plan and by service, and it is one of the least consistent items in musculoskeletal care. Some plans cover a portion under a physical medicine benefit, some exclude it outright. Our front desk checks your specific policy and tells you what applies before you commit to anything, and payment plans are available for self-pay care.
the clinic teamHow do you know if your spine needs to be decompressed?
Three things point that way together: symptoms that match a disc, such as pain travelling into a leg or arm, numbness or weakness in a nerve pattern; imaging that shows a disc pressing where the symptoms say it should; and a history of conservative care that has not held. One without the others is not enough. That is what the examination and the report of findings sort out.
the clinic teamDo you need a referral to go to a pain management clinic?
Not here. You can book an evaluation directly at either office. Some insurance plans require a referral before benefits apply, which our team checks when it verifies your coverage. Bring any imaging you already have, because a recent MRI or set of X-rays often shortens the first visit considerably.
the clinic teamWhat is the difference between pain management and a pain clinic?
In common use, a pain management practice usually means injections, nerve blocks and prescription medication managed over time. This clinic does neither. The work here is mechanical: decompress the structure, treat the irritated nerve, rebuild the function that was lost. Where an injection or a surgical opinion is genuinely the right next step, we say so and refer.
the clinic teamDoes Medicare cover this kind of care?
Coverage varies by plan and by service. Medicare treats chiropractic manipulation differently from device-delivered therapies, and supplement plans differ again. Our front desk will tell you exactly what applies to your plan before you commit to anything, which matters most to our Lady Lake patients across Lake, Sumter and Marion counties.
