Abstract

Physical therapists who deal with neck pain and its disorders in direct access settings are particularly interested in differential diagnosis. The recommendation to first rule out non-musculoskeletal pathologies as the cause of the patient's symptoms is shared by all international guidelines. Albeit the autonomic sensory system (ANS) plays a critical part and is likewise engaged with torment conditions, inclusion of it in neuroscience reading material and instructive projects is restricted and most medical care experts are new to it. Despite their benign nature, autonomic conditions are clinically significant because they may serve as a "red flag" for an injury along the sympathetic pathway. In this way, sound information on the ANS framework is fundamental for clinicians.
