This book provides of treatment of NSNP. Neck pain (or cervicalgia) is a common problem, with sixty percent of the population suffering with it at some point in their lives. Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by many other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, and pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical spine. Non-Specific Neck Pain is the most common one. This is also known as 'simple' or ¿Mechanical' neck pain. The causes may be minor strains and sprains to muscles or ligaments in the neck. Bad posture seems to be the major contributing factor in many cases. Neck pain can be caused due to many other physical and emotional health problems as well.It is concluded that Ultrasound Therapy with Sub Occipital Muscle Release Technique training group showed statistically significant reduction in pain than the other group.

This book which provide treatment of MLBP.Mechanical low back pain is one of the most common problems in modern society. It causes major economic problems in industrialized nations. It accounts for the second leading cause of absenteeism from work.To compare the effects of McKenzie approach and Kinesio Taping technique in individuals with Mechanical low back pain.Mechanical low back pain is described as a musculoskeletal pain which varies with physical activities and not involving root compression or series of spinal disease.9 Bed rest is considered to be an effective management of acute low back pain. There is strong evidence that supports bed rest greater than two days is not effective in the treatment of acute low back pain. Restriction of activity is impressive for recovery from mechanical low back pain.The results of this study concluded that McKenzie¿s approach is more effective therapy for mechanical low back pain patients.

This book which enable to provides Mechanical low back pain is essentially a universal and self limiting phenomenon. It continues to be one of the enigmas of modern medicine. It is not only a medical problem ,but a social, legal and practical one as well. Men and women are equally affected. It occurs most often between ages 30 and 50. The natural history of Mechanical low back pain depend upon the influence of age, injury and adaptive changes to the different neuro musculo skeletal changes.Through the results, alternate hypothesis is accepted and also the study could be concluded that there is a significant difference between endurance training of extensors with corestabilization exercise and corestabilization in improving the propioception in patients with Mechanical low back pain.

Shoulder subluxation is a most significant problem in post stroke hemiplegics, resulting in pain and loss of function. Surface electrical stimulation was found to reduce existing subluxation, but showed no significant improvement in motor function. The main purpose of this study was to determine the short term effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and motor activity eliciting exercises in preventing the occurrence of shoulder pain and subluxation and in enhancing early shoulder mobility. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and motor activity eliciting exercises have short term effect in preventing the occurrence of post stroke shoulder pain and subluxation and also in improving shoulder motor function.
