Summary

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of manual therapy plus cervical stabilization exercise compared to manual therapy alone on balance, proprioception, and neck muscle morphology in chronic neck pain.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Manual Therapy

Cyriax's mobilization techniques will be applied as manual therapy. Before the mobilization, soft tissue mobilization techniques will be applied to relieve muscular spasm and preventing the patient' s anxiety. Bringing, manual traction, manual traction with rotation, manual traction with anterior-posterior gliding and lateral gliding mobilization techniques will be applied. Appropriate mobility techniques will be selected according to the complaints and symptoms of the patients. Cervical mobilization applications will take an average of 15-20 minutes.

OTHER

Cervical Stabilazation Exercise (CSE)

The CSE program aims to maintain a neutral spine position and activate deep cervical muscles during exercises. It is performed in stages with gradual progression according to the stages of motor learning and sensory-motor integration, namely, static, dynamic, and functional. The program will start with postural training and then the cervical bracing technique with the activation of deep neck flexors for CSE was performed. The patients will be asked to maintain a neutral spine during the exercises and throughout the day as much as possible. The difficulty and variety of exercises will be increased weekly. It will be carried out 2 days a week for 6 weeks (12 sessions) by the supervisor physiotherapist.
