Summary

Cervical radiculopathy is a pain and/or sensorimotor deficit syndrome that is defined as being caused by compression of a cervical nerve root. The compression can occur as a result of disc herniation, Spondylosis, instability, trauma, or rarely, tumors.

Thoracic spine manipulation (TSM) is defined as a high-velocity/low amplitude movement or "thrust" directed at any segment of the thoracic spine. Recent research has shown that Thoracic Joint Manipulation directed to the thoracic spine provides a therapeutic benefit to patients with neck pain and has been suggested as an appropriate strategy to minimize the risks associated with manipulation of the cervical spine

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Thoracic Manipulation and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides and conventional therapy

After the segmental mobility examination of thoracic spine, the therapist will apply a high-velocity, end range screw thrust to a restricted segment of the thoracic spine as described by Maitland.

OTHER

Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides and conventional therapy

Position of therapist: stands beside the patient, while his\\her head is cradled between your body and your right forearm (when you stand at his\\her right side). Gentle pressure is now applied in a ventral direction on the spinous process of C7 while the skull remains still due to the control of your right forearm. (The really gentle moving force to do this comes from your left arm via the thenar eminence over the little finger on the spine of C7).
