Manual Therapy for Neck Pain

Manual therapy includes: Massage, which applies pressure to the soft tissues of the body, such as the muscles. Mobilization, which uses slow, measured movements to twist, pull, or push bones and joints. Manipulation, which uses rapid, forceful movements to move the bones and joints. Chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, and physical therapists sometimes use manual treatment.

 Manual therapy is sometimes used for neck pain. A review of multiple studies shows that exercise and mobilization, either separate or used together, are likely to be helpful in the treatment of nonspecific neck pain. Manipulation is also likely to be helpful. Rare problems, such as a herniated disc, may occur when chiropractic adjustment is used to treat neck or back pain. This can cause pain, weakness, and numbness in the buttocks and down the legs. And it may affect bladder and bowel control. Before you try manual therapy for neck pain, think about the following:
First try home treatment, like ice, heat, pain relievers, and mild exercise or stretching. These things may help your neck pain the best. Before you try manual therapy, see your regular doctor or physical therapist about your neck pain. He or she can look for signs of a serious problem. Good manual therapy will include information on self-care and strength exercises.
