To compare the effects of kinesio taping, cervical thrust manipulation and conventional therapy on neck pain, functional status and range of motion

Full description

Neck pain is most prevalent condition affecting globally, which also create threats to the individuals. Mechanical neck pain affects mainly two third of population at some time in life possibly in middle age, some people may be acute mechanical neck pain while some leading to chronic stage. Mechanical neck disorders usually associated with pain, decreased cervical mobility, spasm. Often neck pain is mechanical in nature, according to literature mechanical neck pain is defined as, that pain originating from cervical spine which may be aggravated with cervical motion, prolonged posture, muscular stiffness. Due to widespread occurrence of mechanical neck pain mainly in modern society, proper interventional strategies of this problem is needed to facilitate that problem. Incidence of neck pain may range from 10.4-23.3%in one year, while according to previous literature prevalence of neck pain was 0.4 to 86.8%, with high proportion in office workers, computer users, and females especially 35 to 55 years. Pain, stiffness, tenderness and restricted mobility is most common symptoms associated with neck pain, manual therapy techniques, exercises, mobilization, manipulations, kinesio taping are treatment strategies used for this problem may improve neck pain.

The main purpose of my study is to improve neck pain, discomfort and functional status in patients with mechanical neck pain.
