•All potential participants with suspected cervicogenic dizziness were invited to undergo comprehensive assessment by a neurologist in which other causes of dizziness were excluded. They were screened prior to inclusion by measuring their lateral cervical radiographs for a cervical absolute rotatory angle from the posterior body margins of C2\-C7 and anterior head translation. If the absolute rotatory angle was less than 25 degrees and anterior head translation distance was more than 15 mm then a participant was included in the study.
•Further, the patients were included if they had a recurrent episodes of dizziness (by self\-report) with symptoms lasting longer than three months, dizziness that can be provoked by certain head positions or movements, dizziness described as imbalance or unsteadiness (not rotatory vertigo),and dizziness associated with stiff or painful neck.

•Exclusion criteria included previous history of stroke, a diagnosis of a bleeding disorder, currently undergoing anticoagulation treatment, presence of inflammatory joint disease, infection, tumor, or fracture of the spine or cranium, central vascular/ neurologic condition suspected of causing neck pain and/or dizziness/vertigo and evidence of narcotic or other drug abuse.
