Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides With and Without Facilitated Positional Release Technique in Cervicogenic Dizziness

Cervicogenic Dizziness is characterized by non-rotatory dizziness and a sense of disequilibrium associated with neck pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. It arises from the abnormal afferent inputs from the upper cervical spine. Patients may experience lightheadedness and neck pain triggered by neck movements, leading to functional limitations. The present study aims to compare the effects of sustained natural apophyseal glides only and in combination with the facilitated positional release technique on pain intensity, severity of dizziness, range of motion, and functional status among patients with cervicogenic dizziness
