Neck pain is second only to low back pain as the most common musculoskeletal disorder
in population surveys and primary care, and, like low back pain, it poses significant
health and economic burden, being a frequent source of disability. While most
individuals with acute neck pain do not seek health care, those that do account for a
disproportiona...

Background
A considerable number of studies have suggested that there is a strong correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D or vitamin D levels and overall health, with reported impacts ranging from mental health and vital organ health to musculoskeletal health. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and identi...

Non-specific neck pain is neck pain that arises due to the wrong posture when doing activities or working for a long time. Based on a study, as many as 40% of the total population experience neck pain, while workers found as many as 6-76%. Pain in the neck area if not followed up properly will have an impact on a person's activities, productivity, and income as well as the quality of life. Clinical management of this case can be in the form of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) therapy and Ultrasound Therapy which directly works on pain trigger points. Postural correction and home-based exercise (HBE) are intervention services in the form of preventive, promotive, and curative that are safe and inexpensive to do at home. This pre-experimental research was taken using a randomized pre-test and post-test control group design method. This method carries out short-term goals in the form of accurate and valid results carried out by carrying out research according to the specified procedure and time. The aim of long-term research is to carry out the application of research results on an ongoing basis through postural correction and home-based exercise interventions with INIT and Ultrasound Therapy so that it can reduce disability and the data obtained is useful for researchers, subject, and for the Indonesian people. This research is included in TKT 3 category. Keyword: Postural Correction, INIT, Ultrasound Therapy, Non-specific neck pain
Introduction: Chronic neck is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition affecting individuals worldwide, often leading to decreased range of motion and diminished quality of life. It is characterized by persistent discomfort and functional limitations in the cervical region. The increasing prevalence of chronic neck pain is attributed to various factors, including sedentary lifestyles, poor ergonomics, and psychological stressors. This study presents a comparative investigation into the effects of proprioceptive training vs conventional training on increasing range of motion and reducing pain in patients with chronic neck pain. Objectives: To improve range of motion and reduce pain in patients with chronic neck pain. To assess the effectiveness of proprioceptive training and conventional training. Methods: ll the participants were explained about the purpose of study. The subjects were screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria and then the baseline measurement was taken. An informed consent was taken from patients who were willing to participate in the study. Eligible subjects were randomly allocated into two groups. Group A participants receiving conventional training. Group B participants receiving proprioceptive training along with conventional training. Both groups had received exercises program for chronic neck pain. The study was of 6 weeks, 5 days per week at department of physiotherapy in SMIH. Examination include assessment which was performed on first and the last day of treatment & data was recorded in group A pre scoring was via VAS, NDI, cervical goniometer and after the scoring the patient undergone treatment with conventional and proprioceptive training. Results: The data were analysed using the statistical software SPSS version 15. To analyse the difference of NDI, ACROM and VAS of Group A (Conventional therapy) and Group B (Proprioceptive training), the paired t-test was applied. The p values <0.0001 in Group A and Group B showing extremely significant. Conclusions: Conventional therapy and proprioceptive training both shows improvement in range of motion and pain in chronic neck pain patients. But proprioceptive training shows more improvement in range of motion and pain in chronic neck pain after 6 weeks of therapy.
Background: Lumbar radiculopathy is the compression of lumbar nerve root. The most common causes of nerveroot compression are intervertebral disc herniation and degenerative alterations. About 3% of cases, disc diseasecauses lumbar radiculopathy. Pain is the major symptom.Purpose: The study is to compare the effectiveness of neural mobilisation and McKenzie approach in reducingpain, improving mobility and functional ability for peoples with lumbar radiculopathy.Materials and Methods: A Experimental study which consists of 64 subjects who were selected based on inclusionand exclusion criteria from A.K.B physiotherapy during the period of November 2022 to April 2023. They weresplit into two groups , the Neural mobilisation group(n=32) and McKenzie group(n=32).The intervention wasgiven for 5 days a week for 4 weeks . The pre and post test values were measured using (NPRS), Modified Schober’smethod and (MODI).Results: With a p value of 0.0001, the mean of the Neural Mobilization at the post test was shown to be greaterthan the mean of McKenzie Exercise.Conclusion: This study concluded that Neural mobilisation was found to be more effective than McKenzie indecreasing pain , improving mobility and functional ability for peoples with lumbar radiculopathy.
