title: [Incident of the backache in secondary education professors].
abstract: The backache is one of the problems associate sanitary more pressing in the current world, which for years has centred the researcher's attention of the sanitary area, sociologists, statesmen... The educational community is not sufficiently studied from the perspective of the impact of the vertebral pains. Probably for the already rejected belief that they are pathologies that only concern population groups with a great physical wear It has been decided to approach the research from a qualitative methodology being the type of used method the descriptive study. The study realizes on 66 subjects that they are educational in an Institute of Secondary Education. A questionnaire is delivered them by three differentiated well parts: demographic information, medical record and Index of Oswestry's disability. In the results there is obtained a high index of participation (71%), emphasizing that 68% of the subjects demonstrates to have or to have had backache. The attributed mainsprings are wrong positions and not physical activity. And the treatment was principally medical therapy. As for the most affected regions they are cervical and dorsal, and 64% of the sample has 10% in the Index of Oswestry's disability. One concludes that, to weighing the high incident of the backache between the professors, it is not a habitual motive of labour fall. There is demonstrated that though it is not a disease that proves very disability for the professors, that is very frequent that concerns some tasks recovered in day after day.
