Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effects of spinal mobilization versus vertebral resonant oscillation (POLD) in patients with bilateral mechanical neck pain on pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity.
Detailed Description
The clinical practice guidelines for manual therapy management the neck pain including the spine mobilization. The vertebral resonant oscillation using the POLD method is similar to spine mobilizations, but there are some differens; the oscillatory movement has a sinusoidal waveform, the frequency used between 1.2 and 2 Hz and the amplitude is similar to "neutral zone" to described by Panjabi 1992. The spinal mobilizations has a posterior-anterior vertebral movement for spinous process, described by Maitland 2000.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in pain intensity before and after the intervention
Time Frame: Baseline, one week after the last session, 1 months and 3 months after the last session.
A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of neck pain
Secondary Outcomes
- Changes in disability before and after the intervention(Baseline, one week after the last session, 1 months and 3 months after the last session.)
