This page is part of the 'Should I receive manual therapy and exercise for my neck pain?: A patient decision aid' resource for patients. Please see the main project page for further information, or proceed to Step 1 below to describe your neck pain.
Neck pain alone for less than 6 weeks[edit | edit source]
There is low quality evidence available. Definitive recommendations cannot be made from this research.
Neck pain after whiplash injury for less than 6 weeks[edit | edit source]
Neck mobilizations and range of motion exercises performed frequently within your limits of pain provide greater pain relief in the short-term when compared to using analgesic medication and collar[1][2]. Neck pain alone for more than 12 weeks =
Neck exercises plus mobilization with or without manipulations or massage can help you in the short- and long-term. Moderate to high quality evidence suggests:
- Greater short-term pain relief than exercise alone, but no long-term difference in pain, function, or quality of life (QoL)[3][4][5].
- Greater long-term improvements in pain and function in comparison to advice[7]
- Similar benefit to advice and care from your doctor a year after the pain is started[4][8]
- Manipulation and mobilization appear to have similar effects for improving pain and function in the intermediate-term[9]
Exercise alone is also effective in the short- and long-term
- Neck and upper back range of motion and low-load strengthening exercises provide reductions in pain, improvements in function, and patient satisfaction. There is no difference in global perceived effect or quality of life[3][10][11][12]
Upper extremity stretching, strengthening and endurance training do not provide any additional benefit to normal activities in terms of neck pain and function[13]
Neck pain with headache for more than 12 weeks[edit | edit source]
Manual therapy and exercise provide greater short and long-term improvements in pain and function compared to no treatment[16]
Exercise also provides greater short and long-term improvements in pain and function compared to no treatment[17]
Neck pain after whiplash injury for more than 12 weeks[edit | edit source]
There is low quality evidence available. Definitive recommendations cannot be made from this research.
Neck pain with pain numbness and tingling down your arm[edit | edit source]
There is low quality evidence available. Definitive recommendations cannot be made from this research.
