Columbus chiropractor, Dr. Larry Van Such, specializes in spinal decompression therapy for the treatment of herniated discs, disc protrusions, disc bulges and degenerative disc disease.

Spinal decompression treatments are painless.  They last approximately 30 minutes.  On the average, treatment of herniated discs require approximately 25-30 treatments for maximum correction and benefit.  Patients are seen typically three times a week for eight to ten weeks.  Of course, each case in unique and the number of treatments you may require could be more or less, depending on your condition.

Spinal decompression treatments are relaxing.  Since the approximate time is about a half hour, many patients usually fall asleep on the table, while others prefer to listen to the music of their choice.  Still others prefer to read while undergoing treatment. 

Treaments for disc bulges and disc protrusions may require less than the 25-30 visits recommended for herniations.  However, this again depends upon the severity and location of the injury.

Disc injuries in the neck (cervical spine) will typically require around 20% less treatments.  A special neck decompression device (although it may sound intimidating, is rather comfortable) is placed under the back of your skull.  Soft foam pads are tightened against your skull.  Your body position is placed opposite that for lower back (lumbar) disc lesions.   Treatment times are typically 15-20 minutes long.
