Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how certain procedures work for individuals with chronic neck pain.

Individuals who are 18 years of age or older and have chronic neck pain will participate in this study. The study involves randomly assigning individuals into two treatment groups (i.e. manual therapy and resistance exercise). Both treatments are recommended treatments and are part of clinical practice guidelines and are well supported in the literature.

Participants will be asked to complete a 4-week training program which includes physical examination, education, treatment, and an exercise plan. Participants will also complete a brief set of questionnaires at their baseline visit, 4 weeks, and 6 months after their initial visit
