Group (A) received Ultrasound addition to Manual Therapy. Group (B) received Manual Therapy only. Group(C) received only Ultrasound treatment. Results: - The result showed that there was a significant decrease in cervical pain and a significant increase in cervical ROM using Manual Therapy combined with Ultrasound better than Manual Therapy or Ultrasound only.
