The back of the neck includes the cervical spine and the muscles and ligaments that surround and support it. The cervical spine is made up of seven bones called cervical vertebrae. The first two are slightly different to the rest, as they attach the spine to the skull and allow the head to turn from side to side called Atlas and Axis. The lower five cervical vertebrae are roughly cylindrical in shape – a bit like small tin cans – with bony projections.

When the treatment procedure starts, the first organ which will be in contact with the medicine is the skin, Skin is a large, highly complex organ and structurally integrated organ system and the component of the skin are cutaneous membrane associated with hairs, nails and exocrine glands, the cutaneous membrane has two components, superficial epithelium or epidermis and the underlying connective tissue of the dermis.

The Quality of the skin is supported by an extensive network of blood vessels, and sensory receptors that monitor touch, pressure, temperature and pain The cervical spine region is surrounded by nerves, connective tissues, muscles and spinal segments.

Our body is made up of different types of cells and each cell membrane is made up of Phospholipids, lipid soluble substances can easily cross the cell membrane because of this the base of the medicine which we use is in lipid form (medicated oils)

When the procedure starts, medicated oil cross the cell membrane through the skin, and the functions of phospholipids will increase thereby act as a carrier for various cellular elements or impurities which are responsible for the formation of diseases, The Luke warm oil will increase the temperature to more than 2 to 3c in the localized area, by which vasodilatation will happen and the blood circulation will increase and necessary oxygen and nutrition materials are supplied and the free radicals which are responsible for the disease will be removed.

This therapy produces sedative effect because of the pharmacological action of the used medicine like Anti-inflammatory action, Analgesic action, muscle relaxant, gives the proper space to the nerves to travel through the spine etc. and also acts as a counter irritant which is the thermal stimulus and may affect the pain sensation. It also induces muscles relaxation and increases the efficiency of muscle action as the increased blood supply ensures the optimum condition for muscle contraction; it nourishes the muscle, bone and nerve, cartilage and lubricates the joint and stop the denegation of the cervical spine and vertebral column because of the therapeutic action of the medicine and procedure.
