| Sumario: | Physiotherapy acts on neck pain, not only aiming at reducing the pain, but also at improving the dysfunctions caused by it, acting directly to improve the function of the neck region and, mainly, its functionality. For the treatment of neck pain, physical therapy has various resources such as electrotherapy, phototherapy, kinesiotherapy, manual resources and specific methods of postural realignment. This study addresses chiropractic as a therapeutic practice used for the treatment of neck pain. The research problem of this work is: what is the scientific evidence about chiropractic in the treatment of neck pain? The general objective of this study is to seek scientific evidence about chiropractic in the treatment of neck pain. The specific objectives are: to identify articles published from 2013 that show data about the effectiveness of chiropractic in the treatment of neck pain, to analyze the data found and the possibility of applying chiropractic in Primary Health Care. Studies published since January 2000 provide low to moderate quality evidence that various types of manipulation and/or mobilization reduce pain and improve function in chronic nonspecific neck pain compared with other interventions. |
