title: [Coexistence of cervico-brachial neuralgia and backache among textile industry workers].
abstract: The paper has been aimed at searching for the correlation between neck and arm pain and low back pain to test the rate of concomitance of both disorders and the order of their appearance. The studies have been carried out in two big light industry plants in Lódź. The coexistence of the pain syndromes has been found to be frequent, low back pain usually developing first. It seems that the occurrence of one of those disorders disturbs the functioning of the whole vertebral column and thus predisposes to the development of the other one.
