· at 6 weeks the group receiving manual therapy with advice and exercise were more

satisfied with their physiotherapy compared with

those who had advice and exercise on its own.

· on average patients receiving advice and

exercise with no further addition to treatment

tended to have fewer treatment sessions than the

other two approaches.

“In an attempt to find out what really works, British physiotherapists conducted a rigorous clinical trial……. These findings

are important. They show that the best options for neck pain are fairly simple and

Manual therapy (manipulation, mobilisation) plus advice plus

exercise versus pulsed short wave diathermy plus advice plus

exercise versus advice plus exercise alone:

One subsequent pragmatic multicentre RCT (350 people with chronic neck pain)

assessed whether the addition of manual therapy (hands on, passive or active

assisted movements, mobilisations, or manipulations; 63% had mobilisation

physiotherapy) or pulsed short wave diathermy over 6 weeks to advice plus

exercise was more effective than advice plus exercise alone. [26] The primary

exercise was more effective than advice plus exercise alone. [26] The primary

outcome measure was pain as measured by the Northwick Park Neck Pain

Questionnaire. The RCT found no significant difference in pain between adding

manual therapy to advice plus exercise and advice plus exercise alone at 6 weeks

or 6 months (6 months, difference in mean Northwick Park change scores: + 1.4,

95% CI –2.8 to + 5.5). [26] It also found no significant difference in pain between

adding pulsed short wave diathermy to advice plus exercise and advice plus

exercise alone at 6 weeks or 6 months (6 months, difference in mean Northwick

Park change scores: + 1.3, 95% –2.9 to + 5.5). [26]

Core treatment recommendations for non-specific neck pain

Keele University

Core treatment recommendations for non-specific neck pain

Exercises, manual therapy, analgesics, acupuncture, and low-level laser

therapy have been shown to provide some degree of short-term relief of

neck pain without trauma.

Manual therapy is often used with exercise to treat neck pain for pain

reduction and improved quality of life.

Exercises and mobilization have been shown to provide some degree of

short-term relief after a motor vehicle collision.
