Summary
To compare the effects of Cervical Retraction Exercise and Facet Oscillatory Mobilization in chronic Mechanical Neck pain. To compare the effects of Cervical Retraction Exercise and Facet Oscillatory Mobilization in chronic Mechanical Neck pain at improving Neck Disability. To compare the effects of Cervical Retraction Exercise and Facet Oscillatory Mobilization in chronic Mechanical Neck pain at Improving Range of Motion The study design used for this literature would be Randomized Control Trial This study would include total 32 participants which would be divided into two groups, 16 each.

Interventions
Neck retraction exercises are performed on patients either in sitting or standing in an upright position while pushing their chin backward and simultaneously raising their head within the pain-free range (3 seconds hold)of 10 repetitions in each session at sitting position. Conventional treatment (TENS (2 to 10 Hz),10 mints, Heating pad, stretching of tight muscles Trapezius and SCM)should be included. The patients will received 20-30-minute sessions on 3 alternate days for two consecutive weeks, making it a total of 6 sessions. Patients were advised to revisit after 4 weeks (1 month from the baseline) for follow-up.
Facet joint oscillatory mobilization on the cervical spine C2-C7(6 to 10 repetitions in each session) in the sitting position. Conventional treatment (TENS (2 to 10 Hz) 10 mints, Heating pad, stretching of tight muscles Trapezius and SCM) should be included. The patients will received 20-30-minute sessions on 3 alternate days for two consecutive weeks, making it a total of 6 sessions. Patients were advised to revisit after 4 weeks (1 month from the baseline) for follow-up.
