Samtidigt efterfrågas Komplementär och Alternativ Medicinska (KAM) behandlingar allt mer från allmänheten. Behovet att öka hälso- och sjukvårdens kunskap om KAM som behanlingsalternativ sågs. Studiens syfte var att beskriva människors erfarenheter i samband med rygg- och nackvärk och reflexologisk behandling. Metoden var kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Urvalet omfattade sju klienter som sökt reflexologisk behandling pga rygg- och/eller nackvärk och identifierades genom tre olika reflexologer i Skåne län. I resultatet identifierades kategorin Vardagen med underkategorierna Smärta och värk, Försök till anpassning samt Söka vård och behandling. I Kategorin fysiska och psykiska sensationer sågs underkategorierna Personligt bemötande, Zonsmärta, Cirkulationsökning samt Avslappning. I Kategorin Förändring av vardagen ingick Symtomlindring, Hjälp till självhjälp samt Arbete och idrott. Slutsatsen dras att reflexologisk behandling kan erbjuda bra smärtlindring för människor med rygg- och nackvärk samt erbjuder en chans till avslappning, bättre sömn, vara aktiv i arbetslivet och få ny energi. Mer forksning inom reflexologisk behandling behövs.
