Features of an integrated approach to the prevention and treatment of military personnel with dorsalgia in outpatient settings

Dorsalgia – pain in the back, in particular in the lumbar spine, suffers from 50 to 90% of the adult population. The occurrence of such pain is facilitated by a sedentary lifestyle, a decrease in strength abilities, functional insufficiency, and muscle imbalance. An integrated approach to the treatment of dorsalgia includes drug and non-drug treatments that have a mutually potentiating effect. The complex of active treatment of military personnel with dorsalgia should include a rationally organized daily physical activity, physical education, as well as therapeutic physical culture. The modern system of physical rehabilitation of patients with dorsalgia is characterized by three stages, which correspond to the periods of the course of the disease (exacerbation, unstable and stable remissions). Each of the stages (relaxing, restoring, and training) has its tasks, the solution of which is achieved by using methods appropriate to the period.
