<p>The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as a subjective sensory and emotional sensation resulting from the action of stimuli that disturb the tissue.

Introduction
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as a subjective sensory and emotional sensation resulting from the action of stimuli that disturb the tissue. Pain significantly impacts the quality of our lives, mainly if it concerns the spine. In Poland, more than half of the population experiences pain in the spine, while as much as 44% of spine disorders concern the lower segment. Back pain is currently one of the most common reasons for contacting a GP, which makes it a medical and socio-economic problem.


Purpose of the study
Subjective evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation in people with degeneration of the intervertebral disc.


Material and methods
The study was carried out in a group of 153 patients. A self-constructed questionnaire was the study tool.


Results and conclusions
The patients were asked to carry out activities of daily living. At the beginning, they reported the occurrence of pain, and thus the ordered activities were carried out by them carefully and slowly. At the end of rehabilitation, a control analysis was carried out, which showed an improvement in the quality of life of the patients (the pain rating on the scale decreased from 3.33 points to 2.36 points). The activities were carried out naturally. Properly selected and conducted rehabilitation causes both the improvement of the patients’ quality of life and the reduction of pain associated with degenerative spine disease.
