Abstract

spine, 3 -rheumatoid polyarthritis and tuberculosis were present in 2 patients. The remaining 173 (94,02%) patients had a nonspecific cause of back pain associated with degenerative spinal disease and included low back pain -94 (54,33%), low back pain with nerve root pain suggestive of disk herniation 73 (42,2%), and low back pain with nerve root pain and lumbar spinal stenosis -6 (3,47%). When clarifying the anamnesis, it was revealed that the main initiating factor was inadequate physical activity and emotional stress.
