Therapy for long-term neck pain with limited movement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of hand-on treatments (a quick push to the upper back and gentle movements to the neck) to see if it helps people with ongoing neck pain and stiffness. It might be an option if you've had neck pain for more than 3 months and have trouble moving your neck or upper back.
