This page is part of the 'Manual Therapy & Exercise for Neck Pain: Clinical Treatment Tool-kit' resource for clinical decision making, which provides evidence, techniques, and dosages for the use of manual therapy and exercise in the treatment of neck pain. Please see the main project page for further information, or to return to Step 1 to identify your patient. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3 below to inform your technique.
The techniques utilized in the positive trials investigating the use of manual therapy and exercise for the treatment of neck pain are presented below, organized by patient characteristics
- 3.1 Neck pain alone
- 3.2 Neck pain with cervicogenic headache
- 3.3 Whiplash associated disorder
- 3.4 Neck pain with radiculopathy
Once you have found the techniques most applicable to your patient, click on Step 4-inform your technique to see the techniques utilized in the positive studies for that patient population
3.1 Neck pain alone (non-specific)[edit | edit source]
