Summary

Non-specific neck pain (NSBA) is defined as pain in the posterior and lateral parts of the neck in the absence of neurological and specific pathologies (fracture, infection, inflammation, etc.) between the superior nuchael line and the 1st thoracic vertebra. The lifetime neck pain rate is approximately 12-70%; Neck pain is the reason for admission in approximately 25% of applications to outpatient clinics of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. Neck pain is the most common spinal problem after low back pain, and it is defined as nonspecific neck pain due to its multifactorial etiology. Many conservative treatment methods are used in the treatment of NSBA. These include medical treatments, exercise, massage, acupuncture, neural therapy and physical therapy modalities. The basis of Mulligan's theory is based on a positional error that develops secondarily, causing misplacement of the joint. With the Mulligan mobilization technique, the joint is displaced to normal and positional error is corrected. Restoration of motion is aimed by repositioning the bone. The main indication in this technique is increased pain, stiffness and weakness in movement. The Mulligan mobilization technique is performed by asking for active movement while maintaining a manually applied joint shift. Painless movement is aimed at the joint. According to the general principles of Mulligan treatment, all techniques are applied in a way that does not cause pain and creates an effect that will eliminate the pain in a short time after the application.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mckenzie Exercises

1. Cervical Retraction Exercise in Sitting Position The participant sits on the chair, puts the second and third fingers on his chin and pushes his head posteriorly and inferiorly. 2. Cervical Rotation Exercise in Sitting Position 3. Cervical Retraction Exercise in Supine Position 4. Cervical Rotation Exercise in Supine Position The participant turns his head to the right and left, respectively, while taking his head back in the supine position with his head out of the bed. 5. Cervical Lateral Flexion Exercise 6. Cervical Flexion Exercise in Sitting Position

BEHAVIORAL

Mulligan Exercise

The exercises to be applied are listed below. 1- C1-C2 Self Mobilization Slip is applied for natural apophyseal cervical right rotation. The belt is put on level C1. At the same time, the participant actively pulls the belt and turns his head to the right. To facilitate the rotation of the belt in C1, pressure is applied to the belt in the same direction as C2 and rotation of the head towards the restricted side is requested. It waits like this for 3 seconds. These movements are done in the painless range.
