The number of patients equal 88, including 39 males and 49 females, after lumbar microdiscectomy, was examined in this study. The patients were divided into 3 groups. Control group (28 patients) received a basic rehabilitation complex (therapeutic gymnastics, massage, low-frequency magnetotherapy); the 1st study group (30 patients) - basic complex and procedures of thin layer applications with peat muds preparation (Tomed-applikat) at 20-24 °C; the 2nd study group (30 patients) - basic complex and procedures of fluctuoresis of 2% solution of peat mud Tomed-aqua preparation. There was a significant reduction of pain syndrome, recovery of sensitivity and motor activity, decrease of Oswestry index, characterizing the degree of vital activity disturbance, in patients of the study group compared to the control group after treatment.
