Neck pain is an important condition, social and economic health problem, affecting up to two thirds of adults at some point in their lives. The purpose: To determine the effect of correction of cervical lordosis using a denneroll on disability, vertebral artery blood flow, pain and restoration of normal sagittal cervical curve alignment. Subjects: Sixty patients (38 females and 22 males) with non specific neck pain were assigned randomly into two equal groups group (A) as an experimental and (B) as a control group with age ranged from 25-45 years. Methods: Measurements included functional neck disability, pain intensity, cervical curve lordosis and vertebral artery blood flow outcome measurements. The study groups (A) received traditional physical therapy program in addition to cervical denneroll equipment respectively while control group (B) received traditional physical therapy program only. The frequency of treatment was 3 times / week for 8 weeks with total sessions of 24 sessions. Results: The results revealed that there were a significant improvement of all measured parameters in group (A) (P<0.05) while there were no significant improvement of all measured parameters in group (B) (P0.05) when comparing between groups
