Chiropractor Fanwood Says Mobilization With Physiotherapy Helps Chronic Neck Pain

Mobilization Combined with Physiotherapy Beneficial to Those with Chronic Neck Pain

The study involved 68 participants who received either mobilization with traditional physiotherapy or traditional physiotherapy alone ten times over a four-week period.

Chiropractors often combine these conservative treatments when managing patients with conditions such as chronic neck pain.
