Summary

Neck pain is considered one of the very common cause of musculoskeletal pain. It is 4th leading cause of disability with a prevalence ranges between 30% and 50% among general population. cervical pain is among 5 most contributing factors in causing years lived with disability. Mechanical neck pain is identified by neck pain that gets evoked by sustained neck postures, neck mobility and by the palpation of cervical muscles. diagnosis is made through history and physical examination and can be helpful in differentiating from other causes of neck pain. functional impairments suffered by mechanical neck pain patients include weakness of deep cervical flexors, because of activation of superficial cervical muscles, reduced mobility of cervical spine, development of forward head posture, altered proprioception and disturbed balance leading to functional disability and decline in health related quality of life. there are different treatment approaches that include pharmacotherapy, manual therapy, active exercises, stretching, traction and electrotherapy. physiotherapy is often the first line treatment approach for individuals with mechanical, idiopathic and insidious neck pain but manual therapy is preferred through its biomechanical and neurophysiological responses that eventually leads to reduction in pain and improved function in clinical practice.thoracic manipulation and kinesio taping has proved to be very effective in treating mechanical neck pain patients according to several studies despite of their certain limitations. this study aims at evaluating effects of kinesio taping combined with thoracic manipulation in mechanical neck pain patients.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

kinesio tape

kinesio tape will be applied while patient is in sitting position. Y strip will be applied along C1 till T1.while patient's cervical spine is in contalateral side bending and rotation. same will be performed on the other side. on top of it, an I strip will be applied horizontly along C1 to C4. Both strips will be applied with 15% to 20% stretch.

PROCEDURE

standard therapy

Thoracic manipulation along with conventional including Tens, stretching and strengthening exercises of entire neck musculature
