Radial pressure waves TherapyTherapeutic Exercise and Manual Therapy

Radial pressure waves Therapy: Combination of the usual physiotherapy treatment with the application of radial pressure waves compared with a control group in which only the usual treatment, in people with non-specific neck pain, will be applied. During the first month, the participants will perform 3 weekly sessions of home-based cervical therapeutic exercise and will come to the facilities, once a week, to get a manual therapy session based on the Maitland Concept (15 minutes of posteroanterior mobilizations in the restricted and/or painful vertebrae of the cervical and thoracic spine). Besides this participants of the experimental group will receive a radial pressure waves treatment sessión. Experimental Group: Home-based cervical therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and radial pressure waves.

Study summary

The present study aims to know the effectiveness of radial pressure wave therapy in the treatment of people with nonspecific neck pain. The study hypothesis is that including radial pressure wave therapy in a protocol based on manual therapy and therapeutic exercise is more effective than the protocol alone for the treatment of nonspecific neck pain.

Participants will be randomly assigned into 2 groups, one will be applied only the manual therapy and exercise protocol and the other the same protocol, plus shock wave therapy. Data related to the pathology will be collected and compared between the two groups to determine which treatment is more effective.
