Summary

Because changes in sagittal thoracic alignment have been reported to alter the mechanical loading of the cervical spine and decreased thoracic mobility has been identified as one of the predictors for neck and shoulder pain , it makes sense that thoracic articular treatment improves local kinematics and simultaneously neck pain improves. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a multimodal program, with thoracic hyper kyphosis rehabilitation using the Denneroll™ thoracic traction orthosis , applied to participants with chronic non-specific neck pain and thoracic hyper-kyphosis.

Interventions

OTHER

Denneroll traction

The participants will be instructed to lie flat on their back on the ground with their knees slightly bent at 20-30° for comfort and arms gently folded across their stomach. The examiner will position the apex of the Denneroll in one of three regions: lower thoracic (T9-T12), mid-thoracic (T5-T8), and upper-thoracic (T1-T4) depending on the apex of each participant's thoracic kyphosis deformity. For lower thoracic kyphosis (T9-T12) the Denneroll is turned 180° so the peak contacts the lower thoracic spine (T10) while the tapered end supports the mid thoracic region

OTHER

Multimodal Program

The multimodal program consists of physical pain relief methods, thoracic spine manipulation, myofascial release, and therapeutic exercises.
