The patient is in supine lying. The head and neck of patient are held in the hands of the practitioner, and then a gentle traction of a pulling force is applied. Intermittent periods of traction can be applied, holding each position for about 10 seconds. Traction is usually applied at about 20-30 degrees of neck flexion.

Patient lying in prone. Therapist stands to side of patient placing their pisiform/ulnar surface of hand over the selected spinous process (SP) with their wrist in full extension. Other hand placed on top of hand to reinforce. Therapist's shoulders should be directly above the SP with elbows slightly bent. Therapist uses their body weight to apply a PA force to the selected SP by leaning their body over their arms and performing rocking movements to provide oscillatory movements of the vertebra.

The progression of exercises will be done using different colours of Thera-band indicating varied resistance

Time: 20 minutes Duration: thrice a week for 4 weeks.

A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. The simplest VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).

This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. Patient-completed, condition- specific, functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation.

Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means "no pain" and 5 means "Worst imaginable pain".

The Spurling's test (also known as Maximal Cervical Compression Test and Foraminal Compression Test) is used during a musculoskeletal assessment of the cervical spine when looking for cervical nerve root compression causing Cervical Radiculopathy. There are different ways described in the literature to perform the Spurling's test. The version that provoked upper limb symptoms the best was with the neck in extension, lateral flexion and axial compression.

A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint. Goniometer have different types; the most use is the universal standard goniometer, which is either made with plastic or metal tool. It consists of a stationary arm, a movable arm and a fulcrum.
