Summary

Neck pain ranks as the 4th leading cause of disability, with high prevalence of mechanical neck pain in young population. As high as 30% of %. Individuals suffering from neck often report difficulty in performance of daily life, absence from work and decreased productivity. Several manual therapy treatment approaches are used for mechanical neck pain. The focus of this study is to compare the effectiveness of thrust and non-thrust thoracic manipulation for the treatment of mechanical neck pain in young population

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Thrust Manipulation

Prone thoracic extension manipulation technique will be applied from T2 - T6 to participants of Group A (Experimental group). Intervention will be applied on alternate days with a total of 4 treatment sessions

PROCEDURE

Non-Thrust manipulation

Maitland grade III or IV thoracic 0manipulation will be given to participants of Control group from T1 to T6. Posterior to anterior glide over spinous process will be maintained for 30 seconds. Intervention will be applied on alternate days with a total of 4 treatment sessions

PROCEDURE

Standard Treatment

Standard treatment protocol includes moist heat, TENS and Post isometric relaxation technique. Standard treatment will be given to both groups on every session. Standard treatment consists of: Superficial Moist Heat (Device): Superficial moist heat will me applied for 10 minutes on Upper Trapezius TENS (Device): TENS will be applied for 10 minutes at 80-100Hz, the electrodes will be placed at upper trapezius. Post-isometric Relaxation (procedure/surgery): 5-10 repetions of Post Isometric relaxation technique will be applied on various muscle groups which include Upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid and scalenes.
