ABSTRACT

In this study, we will try to explore the concept of “Manipulation and Mobilization for Mechanical Neck Disorders”. The focus of the research will be to reflect on the best practices in Healthcare and how they are implemented. The research will also analyze the effectiveness of manipulation and mobilization for mechanical neck disorders. Neck pain is a common problem and different forms of manual therapy used in treatment. Manipulation is associated with a small risk of serious cerebrovascular injury; whereas mobilisation is generally consider a safer technique.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

In this thesis we will discuss The Effect of Manipulation and Mobilization for Mechanical Neck Disorders. Neck injury are the disabling and costly to various angles. Neck pain without or with radiation to the head or arms that may include neurovascular or musculoskeletal structures including gangli, uncovertebral joints, periosteum, ligaments, inter-vertebral joints, nerve roots, bones and muscles. The neck pain also includes cervical origin and headaches that is actually the pain emanating from the sub occipital and neck region, radiating from the orbital region, temples, forehead, ears or vertex, and is exacerbated by continuous movement including neck or neck movement position (Frank, 1990, 1431-7).

Many people who have a significant episode of neck pain from a musculoskeletal or mechanical needs to seek treatment. "Neck symptoms" annually account for more than eight million visits to allopathic physicians and millions of visits to ...
