Abstract [eng] The study includes theoretic analysis of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation pain reduction with the help of water therapeutics. The hypothesis that exercises for spine in water will be more effective than swimming while curing pain caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation has been raised. The research which aims to evaluate effect of exercises in water on spine, reducing pain caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation has been carried out practising survey method. Statistic analysis has been carried out. 58 respondents who suffer from lumbar intervertebral disc herniation pain have been participating in the research. Empirical part analyses evaluation of pain using visual analogy scale (VAS), pain of lower part of the back evaluation based on Oswestry questionnaire, Lasegs test results and waist muscle static endurance results. The most important conclusions of empirical research: 1.Back pain evaluation according to VAS scale after course of pricedures for both of research groups decreased statistically significantly, but alteration did not differentiate statistically significantly between groups. 2.Research data analysis have shown that Oswestry index after course of procedures have improved in both research groups, but the results were better in the exploratory group this means that pain, which affects various spheres of activities have decreased. However alteration of research results statistically did not differentiate between research groups significantly. 3.Research results have shown that performing Lasegs test results of both research groups have improved, but the alteration of results statistically did not differentiate between research groups significantly. 4.Performing tests of back and belly muscles static endurance after the course of procedures results of groups have improved. Even though, the exercises in water had positive influence increasing back and belly muscles static endurance, however, alteration of research results statistically did not differentiate between research groups significantly. 5.Research hypothesis confirmed partly, because all local indexes after course of procedures have shown that lumbar intervertebral disc herniation pain in both research groups decreased, but alteration of research results statistically did not differentiate between research groups significantly.
