The effectiveness of mobilization and manipulation on patients suffering from cervical spine injuries
Keywords:
neck pain, cervical pain, mobilization, manipulationAbstract
Patients with neck pain undergoing cervical mobilization and manipulation were monitored for changes in ROM and pain. The cervical spine was manipulated and mobilized. An inclinometer was used to measure cervical range of motion. VAS was used to gauge the severity of the pain in the cervical region (VAS). A total of 35 patients agreed to participate. The participants' ages ranged from 15 to 70, with an average of 46.5 years. Neck pain and limited cervical range of motion were common symptoms among the participants in this study. We saw a decrease in pain intensity and an increase in cervical range of motion in our patients. All metrics had significant pre-treatment variations (p0.01 at the first, fourth, and tenth visits). Patients with neck pain may benefit from the use of cervical spine Mobilization and Manipulation procedures, according to the findings of this study.
