Abstract: Mechanical neck pain is a major health problem in modern society. Intervertebral joint dysfunctions are defined as a reduction of mobility of cervical segment and if identified on clinical examination, is often the focus of treatment of mobilization/ manipulation. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of conventional treatment alone with added effect of cervical mobilization/ manipulation with conventional treatment and cervical and thoracic spine mobilization /manipulation in patients with mechanical neck pain. Methods: 60 participants of mechanical neck pain were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly allocated to three groups, 6 treatment sessions over a period of 2 weeks were given. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale and the Neck Disability Index score was considered in pre and post assessment. Statistical comparison amongst the groups was made using the one way ANOVA & POST Hoc analysis. Result: The present experiments indicate that both mobilization/ manipulation were equally effective as compared to conventional treatment.
