At the present time, spinal pathology is one of the most frequent in affecting people.
Among these pathologies, our study focuses on these four most common: kyphosis, scoliosis, lumbarsciatica and spinal pain.
The study was performed at the Hospital General B^sico de Baza (Baza General Hospital) in Gra¬ nada, Spain, on patients from nearly towns.
Of the 34 patients with spinal pathology treated during the period May 1993 to June 1994, 22 were men and 12 women. Of these, 3 suffered from scoliosis, 4 from kiphosis, 2 from lumbarsciatica and 25 from spinal pain.
The physical therapy treatment they received included manual therapy, electro-therapy and programmed tables of exercises.
After completing the treatment, 23,5 % experienced a relapse.
