•Subjects suffering from non-specific neck pain, defined as non-articular or non-systemic as per the referring physician.
•Subjects will be required to have neck pain of less than 3 months duration as well as active TrPs inthe upper trapezius muscle, defined as a tender nodule in a taut band that referred pain beyondthe area of contact

•If patiant with neck symptoms will be related to a motor vehicle collision or significant trauma, they will not be included in our study
•If patiants will be presenting with signs of serious pathology (e.g. malignancy, infection, inflammatorydisorder, or fracture), then he/she will not be included in the trial
•Patients with signs of cervical spinal cord compromise (e.g. diffuse sensory abnormality, diffuse weakness, hyperreflexia, or the presence of clonus), two or more signs of nerve rootinvolvement (e.g. dermatomal sensation changes, myotomal weakness, or diminished/absenttendon jerk reflexes)
•A history of neck surgery during the previous 12 months, and a history of cervical degenerativejoint disease as per radiographs, endocrine disorders, and autoimmune conditions (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc.)
•If pateints had received trigger point injections in the upper trapezius muscle within the past 6 months, they will not be included in our study
