Abstract
Cervical radiculopathy is a common condition that leads to neck pain, radiating arm discomfort, and functional limitations. This study compares the outcomes of conventional physiotherapy alone with those of physiotherapy combined with neural flossing techniques. Both treatment groups showed improvement in pain and mobility, but participants who received neural flossing reported greater reductions in symptoms and better functional recovery. The results indicate that integrating neural flossing with standard physiotherapy can enhance the overall effectiveness of rehabilitation for cervical radiculopathy. AIM :To study investigate effectiveness of Conventional Physiotherapy With or Without Neural Flossing Techniques on Cervical Radiculopathy. Methodology: A six-month comparative experimental study was conducted on patients aged 30–50 years diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: Group A received conventional physiotherapy with mechanical traction, while Group B received conventional physiotherapy with neural flossing techniques. Both groups underwent sessions three times per week for four weeks. The Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to assess outcomes before and after intervention, and data were analysed statistically to compare within- and between-group improvements. Result : Both groups showed significant improvement in Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores following treatment (p < 0.0001). Group A, which received conventional physiotherapy with neural flossing, demonstrated a greater reduction in disability levels (mean post NDI: 3.24 ± 1.86) compared to Group B, which received conventional physiotherapy alone (mean post NDI: 6.42 ± 4.21). The between-group comparison revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0002), favouring the combined intervention. Conclusion : The results indicate that both treatment methods effectively decrease neck-related disability; however, integrating neural flossing with conventional physiotherapy yields better clinical outcomes. The addition of neural mobilization techniques appears to promote greater functional improvement and faster recovery in individuals suffering from cervical radiculopathy when compared to conventional physiotherapy on its own.
