cervical stabilization exercises
Neck stabilization exercises included the following: Chin tuck, cervical extension, Shoulder shrugs, Shoulder rolls, Scapular retraction
Ultrasound therapy
The Chattanooga Intelect ultrasound made in America. Year of production: 2013. It was clinically proven to provide the best possible treatment outcomes by utilizing a high-quality transducer to ensure maximum ultrasound delivery to the treatment area. The output is a clean, culminated beam with the lowest available beam non-uniformity ratio
traditional treatment program
US, IR and therapeutic exercise program that consisted of Stretching exercises included the following: 1) stretching pectoralis muscle, placing both hands on the occipital area and pulling the elbows back up, and performing arm abduction and external rotation. 2) Stretching the cervical extensors, placing both hands on the occipital area in a sitting position followed by a flexed neck posture with the head down to stretch the cervical extensors.
Infrared therapy
Infrared therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality that uses infrared light to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve circulation. It involves the application of infrared light, which penetrates deep into the tissues, providing therapeutic benefits.
