In brief
Non-specific neck pain is a prevalent condition causing discomfort, reduced craniovertebral angle, and disability.

Group A will receive SNAGs and CBT, while Group B will undergo SNAGs with cervical stabilization exercises, twice weekly for four weeks. Outcomes will include pain, craniovertebral angle, and disability, analyzed using SPSS.
