Nerve flossing technique is a quick mobilization of the strained nerves which will reduce pain .This study aim to determine the effects of nerve flossing technique on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Conditions

  • Cervical Radiculopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Median nerve flossing technique and conventional physical therapy

Median nerve flossing technique and conventional physical therapy Nerve flossing will be started from root along brachial plexus,median nerve root. Before starting the procedure ,subjects will be shown the flossing technique as it will be performed actively by the subjects. Each flossing will be performed with 10 repetitions starting from neck,arm,elbow,wrist and whole nerve flossing (12). It will be a 3 week treatment with 4 session per week (12 sessions)

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy

The subjects in this group will be treated with TENS and hot pack. All the subjects will be screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria .Written informed consent will be taken from all the subjects before the treatment. The subjects will be allowed to withdraw the treatment any time.The subjects will be divided into 2 groups through convenience sampling.All the subjects from both group will be given trancutaneous electric nerve stimulation TENS ,hot pack, isometrics and stretching as a conventional physical therapy followed by respective group techniques The session will last for 20 -25 minutes , TENS pad will be placed in the suboccipital region and the trapezius unilaterally with hot pack simultaneously for 10 minutes
