About this trial

Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as a sensation of rotation, resulting from an alteration of the neck proprioceptive afferents of the upper cervical spine.Sub-occipital Release, a type of Myofascial Release (MFR) is a form of manual therapy technique which can be used for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness. Sub-occipital muscles, dura matter and C2 vertebrae are connected to each other through the fascia. Sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) are also an effective treatment for cervicogenic dizziness. This study aim to determine Comparative Effect of Sub-Occipital Myofascial release with and without Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide among patients with Cervicogenic Dizziness.
