    Introduction: Pain in the area of the lumbar spine has become a serious problem not only in medicine, but also in society. Lack of knowledge and errors resulting from improper load during professional work lead to the formation of microtraumas, and thus permanent changes in the structure of the spine. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of pain in the lumbar spine in people performing office work and physical work. Material and methods: The study included 70 people of both sexes in the age groups below 18, 18–25, 26–31, and over 40. The respondents were divided into two groups: manual workers – 39 people and office workers – 31 people. The study used a self-authored questionnaire, a standardized Oswestry questionnaire and the VAS pain scale. Results: Pain in the lumbar spine is more common in people who work physically at work. Treatment, after the diagnosis was made, was started by 20 subjects (87.0%). They were all physically working respondents and 62.5% of people working in a sitting position (p=0.011). The impact of pain on functioning in everyday life was assessed in ten aspects using the Oswestry questionnaire. No differences were found between the influence of pain on the size of the limitations of the two groups (p>0.05). The greatest limitations of the respondents were found in terms of the intensity of the pain experienced and changes in its intensity, as well as in the performance of lifting and sitting activities. Conclusions: Regardless of the nature of the work performed, most professionally active people experience pain in the lumbar spine, but it occurs more often in people who work physically. For people who perform manual work, the frequency of pain is defined as “sporadic”, while among office workers, pain occurs more often – several times a month.
