One hundred and six patients with dorsalgia of lumbar-sacral spine have been examined and treated. The developed and tested optimal methodology for using biofeedback, reflex therapy and manual therapy in a combined treatment of patients of different age in acute and chronic stages of the disease raised treatment efficacy. Combined treatment, including biofeedback, manual therapy, acupuncture of patients with dorsalgia, provides rapid arrest of pain syndrome, reduction of high tonicity of paravertebral muscles, motion volume increasing in lumbar spine region. Biofeedback allows patients to self-regulate muscle tone, therefore prevent further possible exacerbations.
