Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients (40-to-60 years old) diagnosed as cervical spondylosis with vestibular dysfunction manifestation (Shi et al., 2024).
  • Normal BMI 20-to-25 kg/m².
  • All patients have chronic neck pain lasting for more than 3 months (Sadeghi et al., 2022).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Signs of serious pathology (e.g., rheumatoid diseases, ankylosing spondylitis, tumor),
  • History of cervical spine surgery,
  • History of trauma or fractures in cervical spine, and
  • Signs of vascular syndrome such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and no usage of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs two weeks before treatment (Sadeghi et al., 2022).
