As a therapist, I found that with the fast pace of modern life and the increase of work pressure, more and more people are facing cervical spine problems, and in order to effectively relieve cervical pain, fatigue and other symptoms, many people choose to use cervical massagers for physiotherapy. However, some people find that many brands of products are not easy to use, and even aggravate the original pain and discomfort of the cervical spine. Next, I will answer this question and share some of the knowledge I know about cervical massagers to help you avoid the harm of inferior products.
(Here are some of the products I've reviewed)
1. Does the cervical massager have an effect?
Is the cervical massager effective? Now that everyone bows their heads and uses electronic devices for more time, neck problems have become a common health hazard, and there are 200 million people in the mainland who have cervical spine problems. In the face of this situation, we need to use an efficient cervical massager to improve and prevent. The massage of the cervical massager can promote shoulder and neck relaxation, relieve stress, and improve sleep quality. I have summarized 4 aspects of the excellent results of using a cervical massager:
1. Effectively alleviate cervical spine pain and physical fatigue:
Modern people can easily lead to cervical spine pain and physical fatigue due to improper sitting posture for long periods of time and excessive use of electronic devices. By simulating the techniques of a professional masseuse, the high-quality cervical massager can effectively soothe the muscles around the cervical spine and relieve cervical spine soreness and physical fatigue.
2. Prevention of cervical spine diseases:
Bad Xi such as looking down at the mobile phone for a long time and sitting incorrectly at work will bring great pressure to the cervical spine and easily lead to the occurrence of cervical spine diseases. A high-quality cervical massager can reduce the pressure on the cervical spine and prevent the occurrence of cervical spine diseases by soothing the muscles and ligaments around the cervical spine. It can simulate the techniques of professional masseurs, massage the acupuncture points around the cervical spine, promote blood circulation, improve the flexibility of the cervical spine, and effectively prevent the occurrence of cervical spine diseases.
3. Promote human blood circulation:
The cervical massager can stimulate the acupuncture points around the cervical spine and promote blood circulation by simulating the hands of a masseuse. It can improve muscle tone, accelerate blood circulation, promote the supply of oxygen and nutrients, eliminate metabolic waste products from the body, and improve the body's metabolism.
4. Correct shoulder and neck muscle compression:
As a result of maintaining an incorrect sitting posture for a long time, the shoulder and neck muscles are easily compressed, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as stiffness and pain. A high-quality cervical massager can stimulate the acupuncture points around the shoulder and neck through massage, percussion, massage and other techniques, relieve muscle tension, and correct shoulder and neck muscle compression.
Second, the four hazards of inferior cervical massagers
By using the cervical massager, it can stimulate the blood circulation in the neck, improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients, promote the metabolism of cells, enhance immunity, and prevent shoulder and neck diseases. However, according to the announcement of the State Administration for Market Regulation, more than 30% of the massagers in the mainland massager market are unqualified, and if you accidentally buy an inferior massager, it may cause serious threats and injuries to the neck and the overall body. So in addition to these, everyone should be careful of the following 4 harms:
1. It may aggravate cervical spine disease.
The design and material of inferior cervical massagers are usually not ergonomic, and excessive pressure or wrong massage methods may be applied to the cervical spine, which will increase the burden on the cervical spine and thus exacerbate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Long-term use of inferior cervical massagers may lead to worsening of the symptoms of cervical spine disease and aggravation of cervical spine disease.
2. Cause neck stiffness or loss of sensation.
The massage head of an inferior massager may be too hard, causing overstretching or injury to the neck muscles, and prolonged use may lead to neck stiffness or even loss of sensation in the neck. Such a situation can seriously affect the quality of daily life, and even affect work and Xi.
3. It may cause dizziness and headache.
The massage force of an inferior massager may be uneven, or the shape of the massage head is not suitable, which will adversely affect the blood circulation in the neck. Prolonged use of an inferior massager may lead to poor blood circulation in the neck, causing symptoms of dizziness and headache.
4. Damage to bones, muscles, blood vessels and nerves.
Low-quality massagers may have design flaws or use substandard materials that cause the massage head to be too stiff and put excessive pressure on the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in the neck when used, causing unnecessary stress and damage.
Summary of the three and five types of IQ tax cervical massagers, stay away
Is the cervical massager effective?Unprofessional massager does have poor massage effect, and there may be a risk of harming the cervical spine, many people may be worried about whether it is necessary to start a cervical massager, in fact, as long as we grasp the cause of injury caused by inferior cervical massager, we can reasonably avoid injury. There are a lot of pitfalls on the market that are easy to step on the thunder, the following picture is a summary of the negative evaluation statistics table of the cervical massager on the whole network summarized by the relevant forum, and I have summarized the 5 pit goods that often lead to muscle damage:
1. Products with too much massage depth and strength
Some cervical massagers are designed with too much strength and depth, which can easily cause overstimulation to the neck when used, resulting in discomfort and even injury. Consumers should pay attention to choosing the intensity and depth of massage that suits them.
2. Poor massage and kneading accuracy
Some low-quality cervical massagers on the market have problems with the accuracy of massage kneading, and cannot accurately locate the neck muscles, resulting in poor massage results. Consumers should choose products with reliable quality and accurate operation when purchasing.
3. Current pulse massager
The current pulse massager may produce a large electrical stimulation to the human body, and if it is not used properly or the current is not properly controlled, it may cause discomfort and even damage to the muscles and nerves. When using the current pulse massager, it is necessary to adjust the appropriate current intensity according to the individual's experience and feelings to avoid overstimulation and injury to the neck muscles.
4. Single motor products
In order to reduce costs, some cervical massagers adopt a single-motor design, which cannot meet the massage needs of different parts. Consumers should choose a cervical massager with multi-function and multi-motor to get better massage results.
5. The uniformity of product strength is poorly adjusted and unstable
Some low-quality cervical massagers on the market have problems with the uniformity and adjustment of massage strength, which may lead to uneven massage strength or unstable frequency. Consumers should choose products with reliable quality and stable strength when buying to get better massage results.
After in-depth research and analysis of the benefits of a high-quality cervical massager and the reasons that lead to the harm of an unprofessional cervical massager, I believe that everyone will want to buy a high-quality and professional massager. Although almost all businesses on the market claim that their cervical massager has the function of protecting the cervical spine and not hurting the muscles, this is not the case. Many products not only fail to provide a good massage experience, but can cause harm to the body. Therefore, in order to help you choose more easily, I would like to share a survey report published by an authoritative organization for you to refer to when purchasing. In addition, I also recommend several cervical massagers that are worth buying after many evaluations.

Fourth, the eight major purchase skills of high-quality cervical massagers
Is the cervical massager effective?High-quality cervical massager can relieve a variety of discomforts such as neck pain and tension, and is very effective for the improvement of cervical spine problems. But now the phenomenon of cervical massager OEM is more common, some manufacturers will sell the same massager on different brands, and the quality and performance of these OEM products may be different, not only the massage effect is poor, but also aggravate the discomfort of the cervical spine, so in order to avoid these risks and enjoy the benefits of massage, I have summarized the following 8 practical purchase tips to help you buy high-quality massagers.
1. Choose a cervical massager with the function of adjusting the uniformity of strength. In order to avoid muscle damage and get the desired massage results, we should avoid choosing inferior products. These inferior products often use low-quality motors, resulting in uneven massage force and transmission frequency. This unevenness can be damaging to the muscles and not achieve the desired massage results.
2. Durability and reliability are an important indicator. Some cervical massagers pursue various functions while pursuing gimmick functions such as smart APP, force sensing, sound and built-in fragrance, which may reduce the stability and reliability of the interior. This significantly reduces the performance and longevity of the product, as well as the accuracy, uniformity and stability of the massage.
3. Choose a cervical massager that weighs between 650-800 grams. Such a product is moderately weighted and does not bring excessive pressure to the shoulders and neck. In contrast, a product that is too heavy may cause pressure and discomfort on the neck and shoulders, while a product that is too light will not fit the skin and will not achieve a good massage result. Therefore, choosing a cervical massager with moderate weight can get a better massage experience.
4. Choose a brand with professional R&D strength. The professional brand has improved the core transmission performance and massage comfort of the product, and adjusted and optimized a number of adjustment indicators such as transmission frequency stability, kneading accuracy, massage depth and range.
5. Don't pursue the depth and strength of the massage too much. Instead, choose products that better balance massage strength and comfort. Excessive force may cause pain or muscle damage, making it difficult for the neck and shoulder to adapt.
6. The massage range is related to the number and distribution of massage heads. It is also related to the traditional principle of the massage head. Try to choose a product that has four massage heads and is distributed in a trapezoidal pattern, so that the trapezius area is covered. If the distribution of the massage head is too concentrated, the massage area will be small, which will affect the massage effect.
7. Choose a cervical massager with a high-precision massage landing point. The muscles, blood vessels and nerves in the shoulder and neck area are very sensitive, and if the product shifts during continuous massage or the kneading accuracy is poor, it is easy to cause muscle damage.
8. Do not choose products below 300 yuan. Due to the lack of technical debugging and high-quality material guarantee of most OEM products, they are prone to cause harm and damage to muscles. In addition, these products generally suffer from insufficient massage effects and performance, have a short lifespan, and frequent quality problems.
Professional cervical massager can effectively improve blood circulation in the neck, avoid discomfort and diseases caused by neck cold, and help everyone prevent cervical spine diseases. The low-cost and low-quality products may use substandard materials, which are uncomfortable to massage, and even overstimulate the muscle groups and bones of the shoulder and neck, causing irreversible damage to the cervical spine. Therefore, it is very important to choose a safe and reliable professional brand cervical massager to ensure that the cervical spine can receive effective physiotherapy.
