Summary

In some individuals, neck pain subsides within a year but reappearance is surpassing while for some patients it prevails for lifetime. According to a study on global burden of disease performed in 2010, neck pain was rated as number 4th when measured with Years Lived With Disability (YLDs) and stood 21st when overall burden was concerned. The estimated 1 year incidence of neck pain from available studies ranges between 10.4% and 21.3% with a higher incidence noted in office and computer workers. While the overall prevalence of neck pain in the general population ranges between 0.4% and 86.8% ; point prevalence ranges from 0.4% to 41.5% and 1 year prevalence ranges from 4.8% to 79.5%. Occurrence of neck pain is generally higher in women, high-income countries compared with low- and middle-income countries and in urban areas compared with rural areas. In addition, the patient characteristics like psychosocial factors are determinants, risk factors and prognostic factors of neck pain but this knowledge doesn't provide adequate information to the physician to deal with such patients.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain
  • Blood Pressure

Interventions

OTHER

Traction Mobilization technique

Traction Mobilization was given by Researcher at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again. Participant sits comfortably or leans against a chair backrest. Palms of the hands are placed on the mastoid processes of the patient's skull while pressing the elbows in a caudal direction. It was held for 5 seconds then relaxed.

Traction Mobilization technique with SNAGS

Traction Mobilization with SNAGS were given at the cervical spine followed by a one minute interval before post vitals were taken, that marked the end of the first session. Three similar sessions succeeded the first, each at an interval of 2 days for 2 weeks between the first and second session; third and fourth session respectively. At the end of the fourth session, cervical ranges and pain intensity were noted again The position of the therapist is behind him or her, medial border of therapist's right thumb is used to contact the spinous process of C6 vertebrae i.e. level above the suspected painful or hypo mobile region. Therapist's left thumb reinforces his/her (right) contact thumb. Therapist fingers are gently placed along the patient's mandible or thorax. Following the treatment plane towards the eye, lift comes from the mobilizing thumb not the contact thumb. While the glide is maintained, the patient is asked to rotate his/her head towards the side of pain or hypo mobility.
