Summary

Chronic neck pain is an important health problem in modern society and is frequently encountered today. Approximately 10% of the adult population experiences neck pain at least once in their lives.

Anamnesis of the patient with neck pain; It should include the patient's complaints, illness history, family history, social status, work life and leisure activities.

The age of the patient, the severity of the symptoms, the mechanism of the injury, the activity history, the duration of the symptoms, the location and limits, the spread of the pain, the relationship of the complaints with the change in position, the restrictions during movement, and the sleeping positions should be taken into account. In addition, past diseases, operations and current diseases, medications used should be recorded.

Among chronic pains, neck pain ranks second after low back pain. Physical stresses in daily living activities, maintaining static posture and sleeping habits, carrying bags and weights in the wrong position, muscle imbalance are important factors in neck pain. Although cervical spine involvements have a great effect on neck pain, almost all of them have paravertebral muscle spasm, especially trapezius muscle spasm. Physiotherapy applications are widely used in the treatment of chronic neck pain.

  • Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Manual therapy

In lower cervical lateral flexion problems, manipulative correction technique will be applied from the articular pillar part of the superior vertebra on the side where the limitation is present. In lower cervical lateral flexion problems, manipulative correction technique will be applied from the articular pillar part of the superior vertebra on the side where the limitation is present. A rotational maneuver will be performed from the posterior side of the articular pillar part of the superior vertebra, on the opposite side of the side where the movement restriction is present.

OTHER

myofascial release

The soft tissue is palpated by the physiotherapist and pressure is applied directly to the skin until the tissue barrier is felt in the direction of restriction. Once the tissue barrier is present, it is applied for 90-120 seconds, without slipping on the skin or forcing the tissue, until the fascia complex begins to loosen and a softening sensation is achieved.
