Efficacy Comparison of Osteopathic Muscle Energy Techniques and Cervical Mobilization on Pain, Disability, and Proprioception in Cervical Spondylosis Patients.

BACKGROUND Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a degenerative disease of the cervical spine characterized by persistent neck pain. Cervical facet joint mobilization (CM) and the osteopathic muscle energy technique (MET) are effective manual procedures for the treatment of neck pain. In this study, we compared the efficacy of the MET and CM techniques on pain, disability, and proprioception in 76 patients with CS.
