Abstract
Purpose of study. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of sacral-lumbar orthoses on the occurrence of pain in patients with low back pain (LBP) and the effects of these orthoses on the muscles that stabilize the trunk based on the available literature.
Methods. For the purpose of this study, the following databases were searched: Pubmed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Medline, and others using the Google Scholar search engine using the following keywords: low back pain, lbp exercise, low back pain epidemiology, low back pain orthosis, low back pain therapy, LBP treatment, lumbar sacral orthosis.
Results. 26 of the 92 articles searched by the above method were analyzed in relation to the subject of the use of sacral-lumbar orthoses in patients with spinal pain syndrome. The analysis did not show that wearing a corset negatively affects muscle strength. Most current studies recommend using a corset in combination with exercise and/or pharmacotherapy for LBP.
Conclusion. There are not enough studies to conclusively determine the effect of lumbar sacral orthoses on the sensation of pain in the lumbar spine. Among the main limitations of the analyzed studies are difficulty in measuring pain, as pain is a subjective sensation, and the significant number of possible causes of LBP, which are sometimes difficult to specify.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem of pregnant women. The aim of the study was the assessment of the impact of classic massage on LBP among pregnant women. The group of 57 pregnant women was included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. The women in Group 1 (n=28) were subjected to a series of classic massage treatments, performed by their partners (after instruction during antenatal classes). Women in Group 2 (n=29) did not change their lifestyle. The applied research tools were the following: The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (VAS), Roland-Morris Questionnaire, Spielberger’s Questionnaire and the authors’ tailored survey. Mann-Whitney U- test was used for comparison of the results between the groups. The minimum level of signi­ficance was set at p<0.05.After the series of treatments, the LBP (measured by VAS) was significantly lower in the research group (p=0.018). A po­sitive impact of massage performed by the partner on the functional activity (p=0.041) as well as and on self-esteem and psychological state (p=0.014) was proved. 1. Massage reduces LBP in pregnant women. 2. Massage performed by pregnant women’s partners may fa­vourably affect the women’s mental condition and improve their general well-being.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the main causes of health problems in developed countries. LBP can lead to a high degree of disability and sometimes involve high costs of treatment. The causes of LBP can be classified into the basic three groups: non-specific pain, pain potentially related to radiculopathy or spinal stenosis, pain potentially related to another specific cause. Treatment of low back pain should be directed to the cause of the disorder, and mainly includes non-invasive treatment, physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy, education. Invasive treatment of LBP includes pharmacological blockade, surgery.
