Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (40-to-60 years old) diagnosed as cervical spondylosis with vestibular dysfunction manifestation (Shi et al., 2024). * Normal BMI 20-to-25 kg/m². * All patients have chronic neck pain lasting for more than 3 months (Sadeghi et al., 2022). * The area of chronic neck pain will defined to the cervical region, possibly with referred pain into the occipit, nuchal muscles, and shoulders. Exclusion Criteria: * Signs of serious pathology (e.g., rheumatoid diseases, ankylosing spondylitis, tumor), * History of cervical spine surgery, * History of trauma or fractures in cervical spine, and * Signs of vascular syndrome such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency and no usage of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs two weeks before treatment (Sadeghi et al., 2022).
