ABSTRACT

Background: There is limited evidence available which support that SNAG Mobilization (manual therapy) can be used as an intervention in the management of mechanical Neck Pain.

Study Design: experimental study design & 20 to 50 years of age, both male and female.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with computer professionals with mechanical Neck Pain and mobility deficit underwent a standard evaluation including the Neck disability Index (NDI), and active Neck range of motion (ANROM). 100 patients were randomly divided in two groups, to be treated with either Conventional therapy or Manual therapy approach. Outcomes of treatment were captured on the 1st day and after 6th week of the treatment session.

Results: The data was analysed using sample ‘t’ test In this study after administration of exercises, the Neck Disability index of computer professionals of both the groups, A and B were improved. But, Better Disability index experienced by computer professionals of group B than computer professionals of group A. Overall, the pain status was found to be different after administration of exercises in groups.

At post intervention, the mean difference in Neck Disability index among computer professionals between group A and group B were statistically highly significant (p<0.001).

Conclusion: In this study the result showed that the computer professionals intervened with sustained natural apophyseal glide mobilization(SNAG’S)with conservative treatment is better and more improved in angles of neck flexion and extension, lateral rotation, bending at right and left sides and neck disability index, than computer professionals treated with conservative treatment alone.

KEY WORDS: SNAG Mobilization, Mechanical Neck Pain, Mobility deficit, Neck disability index.
