摘要

Background Few studies have addressed the appropriate joint mobilization dosage for neck pain. Furthermore, the efficacy of manual therapy in patients with post-spinal fusion neck pain is unreported. Case Description A 63-year-old man with a 2-year history of unresolved neck pain post-cervical fusion presented to therapy with an exacerbation of neck and left-shoulder pain. The patient presented with cervical impairments of intervertebral hypo-mobility above and below the fusion site. He exhibited a high Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score of 8/10 related to his neck pain. Additionally, he demonstrated marked loss of cervical mobility. Indicators of central sensitization were present, including both hyperalgesia and allodynia. High-dose cervical joint mobilization was applied for durations of up to 10 minutes. Corrective exercises were added to improve muscle strength and endurance. Treatment was applied for 12 sessions over 4 months. Outcomes At the time of discharge, this patient reported a full recovery of neck function. This treatment reduced pain, improved passive joint accessory motion, and restored upper quarter function. The patient demonstrated a 33-point improvement in his Neck Disability Index (NDI) score and his pain was reduced to 0-1/10 on the NPRS. Markers of central sensitization were resolved. Intervertebral passive accessory joint mobility was pain free in addition to concurrent restoration of functional mobility. Conclusion A paucity of evidence exists for appropriate dosage with manual therapy interventions. This case report demonstrates marked improvement of pain and function with the use of high-dose joint mobilization. Improved cervical accessory joint mobility and central pain modulation were achieved with high-dose joint mobilization.
