Cervical Manual Therapy and Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain

This non-invasive system is activated by the cutaneous distribution of vagus nerve afferents through the external ear. Somatosensory innervation is provided by the auricular branch.

Manual therapy is mostly defined by the tissue targeted by the practitioner; it can be joint biased, muscle and connective tissue biased and/or neurovascular system biased techniques.
