Conditions

Cervical Radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cervical pain

    Score on numeric pain rating scale (points)

    6 weeks

  • Cervical disability

    Disability will be measured with Northwick Park neck pain Questionnaire.

    6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cervical proprioception

    6 weeks

Study Arms (1)

PNF plus mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

This single group will receive passive mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for cervical region.

Other: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitationOther: Passive mobilization

Interventions

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitationOTHER

Contract relax technique for each neck motion for three repetitions.

Also known as: PNF
PNF plus mobilization
Passive mobilizationOTHER

To restore normal joint play, postero-anterior passive joint mobilization of cervical spine segments and cervicothoracic junction in limited motion will be applied.

PNF plus mobilization
