Summary

Cervicogenic headache (CGH) manifests as unilateral neck pain referred from the neck's soft tissues or bony structures. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of Shi style cervical mobilization versus Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides on pain, strength and functional disability in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

shi style mobilization

Step 1 soothing tendon stepTherapist will aerate patient's neck 3 to 6 times.Step 2 moblization step Therapist will apply low velocity small amplitude oscillatory movement without thrust. Head will be in 45 degrees of flexion or extension. Repeat this for 3 to 6 times. Then distraction force is applied to the cervical. Step 3 dredging collateral step Therapist holds thenar and hypothenar muscles of patient's hand on affected side and gently shook the upper limb ebb and flow with small shaking and high frequency. Repeat the procedure 3 times 6 sesions over 2 weeks for 20minutes

OTHER

SNAGS

Patient will receive sustained natural apophyseal glides as described by brian mulligan. Patient position will be upright sitting when therapist will apply a sustained passive assesory glide while patient moves actively through available physiological range of motion in the direction in which symptoms are produced. the headache SNAG technique will be performed with the patient sitting on a chair in the erect posture. The therapist will handle C2 spinous process with the middle phalanx of one hand. With the other hand, he will perform ventral gliding on C2 for 10 repetitions holding for 10 seconds in each glide with a rest time of 30 seconds in between. Patient will be asked to report dizziness or any other symptom after procedure. If patient reports symptom then angle of application is changed to ensure symptom free treatment in all patientsNumber of repetitions are increased gradually from 6 to 10 and end physiological movement is maintained for 10second
