Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether conventional physical therapy combined with manual therapy reduces pain and maintains life support in individuals with chronic mechanical neck pain, compared to conventional physical therapy alone. The study plans to evaluate the combined benefits of both treatment methods and manual therapy. Pain, quality of life, range of motion, and neck injuries will be assessed in the participants. The treatment protocol will be administered twice a week, for a total of 10 sessions over a 5-week period.

Conditions

  • Neck Pain
  • Neck Pain Musculoskeletal

Interventions

Traditional physiotherapy includes transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), infrared device application, and exercise programs.

OTHER

Physical therapy and manual therapy

Cervical region mobilization techniques include bridging, cervical manual traction, rotation with traction, lateral flexion with traction, antero-posterior sliding and lateral sliding techniques with traction. Prior to joint mobilization techniques, bilaterally, soft tissue techniques including myofascial release techniques and ischemic compression will be applied to the cervical paravertebral muscles, upper and middle trapezius, levator scapula, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), anterior-medius posterior scalene muscles, deep and superficial fascia to reduce muscle spasm in the soft tissues and relax the cervical muscles. Transverse friction massage will be applied to the occipital attachment points of the semispinalis capitis and splenius capitis muscles.
