Back pain is experienced by 75% of the adult population. The frequency of pain increases with age. Most often women suffer from this pain. In most cases,
back pain is not associated with a serious problem and ends with complete recovery, but in 10% of cases it becomes chronic, which entails the need for longterm
treatment. In chronic pain, the psychogenic factor is of particular importance. According to the localization of spinal pain, 4 zones can be divided: cervicalgia,
thoracalgia, lumbaglia, coccygalgia, as well as transitional zones.
