A significant place in the article is devoted to the means of physical therapy and the evaluation of the effectiveness of physical therapy for protrusions of the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine. The features of the cervical spine is a complex anatomical organization, which determines its high biomechanical mobility. Currently, most people have a sedentary, sedentary lifestyle. Of all the muscle groups, only the muscles of the trunk and neck carry a constant load, which, with their small but constant static tension, maintain and maintain work and household postures. With an increase in fatigue of the muscles of the trunk and neck, their depreciation function is taken over by the structures of the spine. With an unchanged lifestyle, secondary degenerative changes develop in it, primarily in the intervertebral discs. This causes the occurrence of osteochondrosis, and then protrusion of the wilds of the cervical spine. In elderly and elderly patients, protrusions of the cervical spine are a risk factor for the development of age-related disorders of the blood supply to the brain and are often the cause of various encephalopathies and autonomic disorders. This disease, due to a severe and continuously relapsing process, leads to disability. The analysis of scientific works, familiarization with the results of theoretical developments of scientists and the practical experience of higher educational institutions on this issue made it possible to identify the features and effectiveness of some means of physical therapy. Among the modern and effective means of physical therapy are massage, therapeutic exercises, electrophoresis with novocaine, traction with a Glisson loop and wearing an orthopedic corset, diet therapy. On the basis of the program of physical therapy, the following indicators of its effectiveness were obtained: according to the visual analogue scale for assessing pain; goniometry indicators also gave positive changes; de Klein's test made it possible to suspect compression of the vertebral artery. The study confirms that the use of the methods that were used in the developed program are an effective means of recovery after an acute period of protrusion of the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine. Therefore, the study directly shows that the use of these methods of physical therapy gave positive changes in both direct movement in the cervical spine and the general condition of patients.
