Objective : The purpose of the study is to compare the effects and efficacy of both treatments. Methods : 2 groups were divided among 6 patients who admitted to Jeonju Wonkwang hospital attached to Wonkwang University from 2009. jan. 1 to 2009. feb. 28 were diagnosed as herniated lumbar disc by lumbar CT or MRI. Each groups were treated by decompression therapy and chuna traetment daily and were measured under visual analogue scale and ODI score starting from the day of admission, after 1week, and second week to compare the results. Results and Conclusions : Decompression therapy and chuna treatment both showed effects on treating the patients though chuna traetment apparently revealed to be slightly more efficient. Due to the lack of abundant clinical data it was not objective in a strict sense but it was clinically meaningful enough.
