Volunteers will take part in the study; Students of the university in the area of Rzeszow reporting chronic spinal ailments participation in remote learning. Applicant participants will be randomised into 3 groups of subjected to various electrotherapy procedures.
Study participants will be tested: 1. Before a series of electrotherapy treatments. 2. 7 to 10 days after the end of electrotherapy. 3. 3 months after the end of electrotherapy. The study will use 1. a self-authored survey taking into account: basic personal data (age, gender, value and BMI, lifestyle and degree of load on the cervical spine), information on the nature, intensity and frequency of the presence of pain in the spine cervical system, taking into account possible adverse reactions 2. a questionnaire for subcjective assessment of the state of the spine Neck Disability Index, 3. measuring the tone of the vertebral muscles in the cervical (myotonometer), 4. a visual analog scale used to assess the severity of symptoms (Visual Analog Scale -VAS) Intervention; <!-- --> 1. irradiation of the neck area with a sollux lamp with a blue filter 2. individual exercises conducted according to the prepared author's mobility improvement program 3. electrotherapy treatments: * Trabert currents * TENS currents (conventional) * TENS currents (pseudo-acupuncture)

Visual Analog Scale
A Visual Analog Scale used to assess the severity of symptoms. It enables the Patient to fine-tune the pain level on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain at all and 10 is the maximum imaginable.
