Brief summary
Spinal pain or misalignment is a very common disorder affecting a significant number of populations resulting in substantial disability and economic burden. Various manual therapeutic techniques such as spinal manipulations and mobilizations can be used to treat and manage pain and movement dysfunctions such as spinal malalignments and associated complications. These manual therapeutic techniques can affect the cardiovascular parameters . \-
Detailed description
Group A group (n=20). All participants will receive only single session of neck mobilization. Grade IV unilateral posteroanterior pressure and sustained extension to be applied restricted joints and muscle energy technique. \- Group B (n=20) will receive single session of neck manipulation with high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.
Interventions
All participants will receive only single session of cervical mobilization
All participants will receive only single session of cervical manipulation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| systolic blood pressure measurement | it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment | systolic pressure - the pressure when your heart pushes blood out and is measured by Mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| diastolic blood pressure | it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment | the pressure when your heart rests between beats is measured by Mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope |
| oxygen saturation | it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment | Oxygen saturation is a vital parameter to define blood oxygen content and oxygen delivery and is measured by pulse oximetry |
| perfusion index | it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment | Perfusion index is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The PI's values range from 0.02% for very weak pulse to 20% for extremely strong pulse.Perfusion index is normally monitored with pulse oximeters |
| pain assessment | it will be measured immediately before and after single session treatment | The visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool widely used to measure pain |
