Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseA. Manual therapy & exercise -  indicated for patients with neck pain, +/- headache, & +/- arm pain. B. Mobilization and/or manipulation and exercise is more effective than either alone. (Level 1 evidence, systematic review, Gross et al. Spine. 2004) NNT = 2 with Manual Therapy and Exercise to achieve one additional successful outcome than would have occurred with an alternative treatment approach
Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseLong-Term ResultsA. Walker et al, Spine, 2008 – RCT, MTE vs MIN interventionDisability, UE pain, & patient perceived recovery significantly better at 3 week, 6 week, and 1 year follow-up in the MTE group.B. Bronfort et al, Spine, 2001 – RCT, Manip+ low tech TEX, high tech TEX, Manip alone1 year follow-up: Manip + low tech TEX group demonstrated significantly greater satisfaction with care
Pain better in both exercise groups vs. manip alone  C. Evans et al, Spine, 2002 – 2 yr f/u of Bronfort et alSatisfaction maintained @ 2 yrs; Imp pain with both exercise groups maintained 
Evidence: Manual Therapy + ExerciseHoving et al, Ann Intern Med, 2002A. RCT – Man Ther (no thrust, 6 visits) vs Ex/Stretch (12 visits) vs Meds/Advice (1 visit, more optional)    B. Outcomes @ 7 week follow-up    1. Patient Perceived Recovery (defined a priori)        Man Ther 68%; Ex/Stretching 51%; Meds/Advice 36%    2. Pain - Manual Therapy > Ex/Stretch > Meds/Advice C. Other Noteworthy Items    1. Man Ther & Ex/Stretching took less analgesics    2. Man Ther - missed less work    3. NNT with Manual Therapy is 3  
Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseCost EffectivenessA. Korthals-de Bos, BMJ, 2003Cost effectiveness analysis of Hoving et al RCT
Over 1 yr, patients with neck pain treated with 6 visits of Manual Physical Therapy and Exercise incurred an average cost of $402, compared to exercise alone ($1,167) or Meds/Advice group ($1241)Evidence - Manual Therapy + Exercise Cervicogenic Headache (CGHA)A. Cervicogenic Headache Criteria - Sjstaad et al, Headache, 1998Unilateral or unilateral dominant side-consistent headache associated with neck pain and aggravated by neck postures or movement
Tenderness with palpation in at least one of the upper 3 cervical segments
Headache frequency of at least one per week over a period of 2 months to 10 years B. Results of Jull et al, Spine, 2002 Man Ther & Exercise - most effective in treating CGHA , outcomes lasting up to 1 yr
Patients :less additional care sought, reduction in headache duration, neck pain, headache intensity, & frequency,  reduction on medication intake (93% decrease in MT with Ex,100% decrease in Ex/MT only)
Average length of headaches was 6.1 years with moderate intensity headaches; Jull et al did not find chronicity to be a prognostic factor
10% better chance of having a good to excellent outcome with combined therapiesIntervention: TractionI. Types of traction   A. Manual vs. Mechanical   B. Continuous vs. Intermittent1. Kisner, 1996.II. Effects of traction may include:   A. Separation of vertebral bodies   B. Distraction/Gliding of facet joints   C. Widening of the intervertebral foramen   D. Straightening of spinal curves   E. Stretching of spinal musculature2. Graham N, 2006.

  • 12. Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseA. Manual therapy & exercise - indicated for patients with neck pain, +/- headache, & +/- arm pain. B. Mobilization and/or manipulation and exercise is more effective than either alone. (Level 1 evidence, systematic review, Gross et al. Spine. 2004) NNT = 2 with Manual Therapy and Exercise to achieve one additional successful outcome than would have occurred with an alternative treatment approach
  • 13. Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseLong-Term ResultsA. Walker et al, Spine, 2008 – RCT, MTE vs MIN interventionDisability, UE pain, & patient perceived recovery significantly better at 3 week, 6 week, and 1 year follow-up in the MTE group.B. Bronfort et al, Spine, 2001 – RCT, Manip+ low tech TEX, high tech TEX, Manip alone1 year follow-up: Manip + low tech TEX group demonstrated significantly greater satisfaction with care
  • 14. Pain better in both exercise groups vs. manip alone  C. Evans et al, Spine, 2002 – 2 yr f/u of Bronfort et alSatisfaction maintained @ 2 yrs; Imp pain with both exercise groups maintained 
  • 15. Evidence: Manual Therapy + ExerciseHoving et al, Ann Intern Med, 2002A. RCT – Man Ther (no thrust, 6 visits) vs Ex/Stretch (12 visits) vs Meds/Advice (1 visit, more optional)    B. Outcomes @ 7 week follow-up    1. Patient Perceived Recovery (defined a priori)        Man Ther 68%; Ex/Stretching 51%; Meds/Advice 36%    2. Pain - Manual Therapy > Ex/Stretch > Meds/Advice C. Other Noteworthy Items    1. Man Ther & Ex/Stretching took less analgesics    2. Man Ther - missed less work    3. NNT with Manual Therapy is 3  
  • 16. Evidence - Manual Therapy + ExerciseCost EffectivenessA. Korthals-de Bos, BMJ, 2003Cost effectiveness analysis of Hoving et al RCT
  • 17. Over 1 yr, patients with neck pain treated with 6 visits of Manual Physical Therapy and Exercise incurred an average cost of $402, compared to exercise alone ($1,167) or Meds/Advice group ($1241)Evidence - Manual Therapy + Exercise Cervicogenic Headache (CGHA)A. Cervicogenic Headache Criteria - Sjstaad et al, Headache, 1998Unilateral or unilateral dominant side-consistent headache associated with neck pain and aggravated by neck postures or movement
  • 18. Tenderness with palpation in at least one of the upper 3 cervical segments
  • 19. Headache frequency of at least one per week over a period of 2 months to 10 years B. Results of Jull et al, Spine, 2002 Man Ther & Exercise - most effective in treating CGHA , outcomes lasting up to 1 yr
  • 20. Patients :less additional care sought, reduction in headache duration, neck pain, headache intensity, & frequency, reduction on medication intake (93% decrease in MT with Ex,100% decrease in Ex/MT only)
  • 21. Average length of headaches was 6.1 years with moderate intensity headaches; Jull et al did not find chronicity to be a prognostic factor
  • 22. 10% better chance of having a good to excellent outcome with combined therapiesIntervention: TractionI. Types of traction   A. Manual vs. Mechanical   B. Continuous vs. Intermittent1. Kisner, 1996.II. Effects of traction may include:   A. Separation of vertebral bodies   B. Distraction/Gliding of facet joints   C. Widening of the intervertebral foramen   D. Straightening of spinal curves   E. Stretching of spinal musculature2. Graham N, 2006.
  • 23. Evidence: TractionA. Mechanical traction for the cervical spine involves a tractive force applied to the neck via a mechanical system    - Intermittent or ContinuousB. Indications: radicularsxs,  sx with distraction test, fit CPR by Raney et alC. Systematic review, mod evidence of benefit for intermittent traction for acute @ chronic neck pain (Level 1 Evidence) (Graham, J Rehabil Med. 2006.)
  • 24. Evidence: Traction CPR                                                                           Raney et al, Eur Spine J, 2009A. Developed CPR to determine who would respond to traction68 patients/30 positive outcomes included in analysisB. 5 variable CPR identifiedAge >55Positive shoulder abduction testPositive ULTT ASymptom peripheralization with central posterior–anterior motion testing at lower cervical (C4–7) spinePositive neck distraction testC. 3/5 variables present= +LR of 4.8D. 4/5 variables present= +LR of 11.7 and post-test probability of     90.2% of having improvement 
  • 25. Intervention: Patient Education and CounselingEarly return to pain-free activity, active role in recovery1 
  • 26. Yellow Flags - Psychosocial factors that indicate risk for chronicity, potential work loss
  • 27. Pain Neurophysiology Education in presence of yellow flags2
  • 28. Multidisciplinary Approach: Referral to appropriate discipline (psychologist, vocational specialist, pharmaceutical) as indicated by presence of yellow flags1,3 1. Childs et al. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2008.2. Nijs et al.  Man Ther. 2011. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/216322733. Sterling M. Man Ther. 2009.
  • 29. Evidence: Patient Education and CounselingRCT for patients with whiplashEncouragement to exercise/move vs collarExercise/move advice -  outcomes/  pain vs collar (Crawford 2004)B. RCT for patients with whiplashEarly PT/education vs collarPT/education -  long term outcomes vs collar (Rosenfeld 2003))
  • 30. Refer: Who, Why and How to Refer- High quality evidence supports manual physical therapy and exercise for neck pain of gradual or sudden onset (ie trauma) that is provoked by movement, +/- associated headaches. Send to PT with“Evaluate and Treat” option checked.
