Nowadays, the cervical massager has entered thousands of households and has become an indispensable massage equipment after a busy day's work, and it has a very important impact on our health. However, with the increasing number of cases of massagers damaging the cervical spine, more and more people are concerned about their safety. As a rehabilitation expert, I am particularly sensitive to this question, in order to better answer this question, I have done a lot of questionnaires for the majority of users who have purchased massagers, and visited a large number of cervical massager manufacturers, and also purchased a large number of common cervical massagers on the market to test in person. I did learn a lot of truths, and today I will share the inside story of the cervical massager with you.
Below are some of the actual pictures of the massagers I have reviewed.
1. What are the side effects of inferior cervical massagers?
What are the side effects of the cervical massager? The cervical massager is a very good massage tool, but there are always some businesses in the market who are not good at making products, and always opportunistically make some inferior products to fool consumers, according to the statistics of relevant departments, at least 30% of the cervical massagers on the market are substandard products. Long-term use of these products can seriously damage our health. What are the specific side effects?
1. Cause neck stiffness or numbness: If you use a massager with poor quality or limited massage range for a long time, it may cause neck stiffness, partial numbness and even pain. Not only can these issues affect your daily life and productivity, but they can also pose a potential threat to your health.
2. Aggravation of cervical spondylosis symptoms: the use of cervical massager is mainly operated by local transmission or kneading. However, if the quality of the product is too poor or the compatibility is not good, it may irritate the cervical spine, resulting in more severe cervical spondylosis, and the symptoms of neck pain cannot be relieved. Therefore, when choosing a treatment method, you should carefully choose a massager that suits your individual needs to avoid potential damage to the cervical spine and effectively relieve neck pain.
3. Damage to bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels: The quality of motors in the cervical massager market is uneven, and some products use inferior materials or excessive strength, resulting in limited massage range. Given that the bones, nerves and muscles of the neck are extremely fragile and sensitive, if the massager is not selected or used properly, it is very likely to cause damage to the body.
4. Induce headache and dizziness: Some low-quality or overly violent cervical massagers are likely to bring us unpredictable health risks. These massagers may irritate the cervical spine, causing a lack of blood supply to the brain, which can cause symptoms such as intermittent or persistent headaches and dizziness. Especially those electromagnetic pulse massagers need to be used with special care!
Second, pay attention to the five insiders of inferior cervical massagers!
What are the side effects of inferior cervical massagers, which have been described in detail above. In the process of combing through the negative reviews of neck massagers recently, I noticed that many consumers are strongly dissatisfied with inferior cervical massagers. In order to delve deeper into this issue, I carefully categorized and counted the relevant reviews (as shown in the chart below) and found that most people are generally concerned about the muscle damage that may be caused by inferior products. Therefore, it is necessary for us to deeply analyze the root cause of the injury caused by inferior cervical massagers, and only in this way can we avoid purchasing inferior products. Next, I will unveil the five inside stories of cervical massagers.
1. Blur the difference between the advantages and disadvantages of cervical massagers. It is true that there is no need to spend too much money to buy a cervical massager, but in the price range of 400-600 yuan, the product performs well in terms of materials, quality, technical adjustment and performance optimization. However, some low-end cervical massagers have some problems, especially the excessive depth and strength of the massage, which may cause damage to the muscles.
2. Blur the importance of massage accuracy. This type of product can cause considerable damage to muscles, blood vessels, and nerves when used for a long time. Because these areas are very sensitive, if you use a product that is too precise, it can cause the massage area to deviate, reduce the effect of the massage and cause damage to the muscles.
3. Deliberately emphasize the depth and strength of the massage. It is not good to have too much massage depth and strength, try to avoid choosing products that emphasize the depth and strength of the massage, but to choose products that better balance the massage strength and comfort, otherwise although the strength is too large, it will hurt or damage the muscles, resulting in the shoulder and neck can not adapt, it is more than worth the loss.
4. Use OEM products to pretend to be big brands. Most low-cost cervical massagers are OEM products with a very low level of technology. The massage range and performance uniformity of such products are usually very poor, resulting in insufficient massage force, high attenuation, and easy to cause damage to the muscles.
5. Too many impractical functions affect the stability and reliability of the system. In order to attract consumers, many products have added various functions, such as smart APP, force sensing, audio, built-in fragrance and other dazzling additional functions. However, these functions often lead to a decrease in the internal stability and reliability of the product, which affects the accuracy and uniform stability of the product, further leading to a decrease in performance. In addition, overuse of these features can also cause damage to the muscles and drastically shorten the life of the product. Therefore, while pursuing innovation, manufacturers should also fully consider the stability and reliability of products to ensure the user experience of consumers and the long-term value of products.
3. Summary of the five positive effects of high-quality cervical massager!
What are the side effects of cervical massagers?After an in-depth understanding of the potential damage to muscles caused by inferior cervical massagers, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of the side effects of inferior neck massagers. Of course, it also helps us to recognize quality products. From the data of relevant websites, it can be seen that there are about 200 million patients with cervical spondylosis in the mainland, and one of the major advantages of high-quality cervical massager is to prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis. Next, I will elaborate on the five positive effects of high-quality cervical massagers.
1. Effectively prevent cervical spine diseases. More than 90% of Chinese people have frozen shoulder, and the cervical massager can greatly relieve neck fatigue, improve shoulder and neck stiffness, and promote internal blood circulation in the body, so it has a very good positive effect on the prevention of cervical spondylosis.
2. Relieve neck muscle soreness and physical fatigue. The cervical massager has excellent efficacy in relieving shoulder and neck pain, and can effectively improve the problem of movement limitation in the neck and shoulder area after stiff neck. For people such as office workers, teachers and drivers who sit quietly in their seats for a long time or work at their desks for a long time, the cervical massager is undoubtedly a valuable product.
3. Promote blood circulation. The cervical massager uses kneading and passing massage techniques, which can promote blood circulation in the neck and relieve headaches, dizziness, etc. These symptoms are usually caused by a lack of qi and blood. This helps to improve sleep quality, provide adequate nutrients for the brain, maintain vitality for a long time, and greatly relax the body and mind.
4. Solve sleep problems. Nowadays, many people will have insomnia and dreams, and the cervical massager has a good massage effect on the head, neck, shoulders and back, which can well alleviate people's sleep problems, help people quickly enter deep sleep, and alleviate symptoms such as insomnia and dreams.
5. Relieve the compression of shoulder and neck muscles. In modern life, people often use mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices, and need to maintain a fixed posture for a long time for work, Xi or entertainment activities. These fixed positions for a long time can cause tremendous stress and tension on our shoulder and neck muscles, and long-term use may lead to problems such as frozen shoulder, stiffness and pain in the shoulder and neck muscles. To relieve overly tense muscles, prevent and relieve pain caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, and at the same time relax overly tense muscles, using a cervical massager is an effective method.
High-quality cervical massagers have many functions, so I will not repeat them here. At present, many businesses are advertising their own products with high safety factors and will not damage muscles, but the actual use is not the case, and the muscle injury rate is obviously very high, in order to help you have a deeper understanding of the common cervical massagers on the market and avoid inferior products, I consulted many authoritative evaluation agencies and obtained a professional evaluation report from them for your reference.
According to the measured data, the extreme sports and health care brand AGVIEE Weiye has the best performance, as the recognized originator in the field of "no muscles", it has a strict pursuit of performance, safety and muscles, massage uniformity, massage penetration, kneading more accurate, etc. have reached the highest level within 1,000 yuan, and have been tested by authoritative institutions to increase the deep muscle relaxation rate by 130%, massage comfort by 124%, and the performance is top-notch and reduces the muscle damage rate by 97.2%! In addition, the compatibility of the crowd is top-notch, the technical adjustment is in place, suitable for the whole family, and the gift is also very suitable! It also has the original TRX acupoint matrix massage technology, which helps sleep quality, relieves headaches, etc., and is good news for most people with poor sleep quality and frequent headaches!
"Unconventional" Weiye is one of the three major massage care brands with the same name as Bei Easy, but insists on not advertising, focusing on technical tuning and research and development, purely relying on word-of-mouth to gather popularity, mid-to-high-end perennial sales, word-of-mouth first, and is deeply loved by sports gods and physiotherapists, including speed skating, skiing world famous Guo Dan, Li Shuang, Tu Xiao and a large number of professional athletes!
In order to avoid bloated products, poor stability, etc., Weiye Pure has been working hard for many years on high performance, safety and reliability, compatibility, and has also pioneered the creation of 10 "high-performance and muscle-free" black technologies, such as V-ZUS intelligent engine algorithm, dual-channel approved transmission technology, 3D dynamic balance technology, etc.!The massage range has been increased by 52%, the uniformity of strength has been increased by 78%, and after more than 6 years of anti-attenuation design and testing, it has achieved 6 years of comprehensive performance, durability, and muscle damage rate certification, achieving strong performance and the lowest muscle damage rate!
If the requirements for the performance experience are not demanding, then you can consider the next relaxation, which is more famous and has exquisite packaging, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in the performance experience.
5. Eight major purchase skills of cervical massager are summarized and shared!
After understanding the side effects of inferior cervical massagers and the many effects brought by high-quality cervical massagers, it is self-evident how to choose cervical massagers. However, choosing the best one for you from a wide range of products is undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task. In order to help you cope with this challenge with ease, I have carefully compiled eight shopping tips for you.
1. Choose a strong professional brand: choose a brand with professional R&D strength rather than an Internet celebrity brand, and the professional brand will take into account the core transmission performance and massage comfort of the product more in place, and have a large number of adjustment indicators and technical optimization for the uniformity of massage strength, transmission frequency stability, kneading accuracy, massage depth and range, etc.
2. Wearing comfort: The wearing comfort of the cervical massager is very important, such as the selection of materials in contact with the skin, the breathability of the material, the tightness of the neck, and the feeling of dragging on the shoulders and neck.
3. Durability and reliability: Durability and reliability are extremely important criteria, however, many cervical massagers overemphasize various fancy functions, such as smart APP, force sensing, audio, built-in fragrance, etc., which will greatly reduce the internal stability and reliability of the cervical massager. This will greatly shorten the service life of the cervical massager, and it will also affect the accuracy, uniformity and stability of the massage.
4. Massage and kneading accuracy: In order to ensure the effectiveness of shoulder and neck massage, we need to select a cervical massager with high precision. Since the muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in the shoulder and neck area are very sensitive, if the precision of the massager is not high, it will lead to muscle damage, which will reduce the massage effect. Therefore, we need to choose a cervical massager with high-quality motors and technical tuning to ensure the accuracy and effect of massage. This is determined by the quality of motor performance and the technical tuning of the brand.
5. Dual-motor system: When we choose a massager motor, we should give priority to a dual-motor system instead of a single-motor system. Because compared with a single-motor system, a dual-motor system can effectively reduce the load on the motor and improve the efficiency of kinetic energy utilization. In addition, the dual-motor system has a lower transmission attenuation degree, more stable use strength, less overall noise, and longer service life in long-term use. Therefore, choosing a dual-motor system can not only bring a better user experience, but also extend the life of the massager.
6. Massage area range: The scope of massage, the number of massage heads, the distribution mode and the traditional massage principle are closely related. In order to be able to effectively massage the trapezius muscles, it is recommended to choose four massage heads with a trapezoidal distribution. If the massage head is too densely distributed, the massage area will be limited, which will affect the massage effect.
7. Massage depth and strength: When massage, we should pay attention to the depth and strength of the massage, not necessarily the stronger, the better. Therefore, we should avoid products that place too much emphasis on depth and strength, and instead choose products that combine massage strength and comfort. If we choose a massage product that is too forceful, it may cause pain or muscle damage during the massage, which will make the shoulder and neck more uncomfortable. Therefore, we need to choose massage products carefully to ensure that they can provide the right amount of massage strength and comfort to achieve the best massage results.
8. The price is right: do not choose products below 300 yuan, most of them are OEM products, there is no technical tuning and material guarantee, it is easy to bring harm to the use of muscles, and the general feedback massage effect and other performance is insufficient, long-term use attenuation is high, and repeated quality problems.
What are the side effects of cervical massagers? Inferior products not only cannot relieve shoulder and neck pressure, but may also damage the cervical spine. The high-quality cervical spine massage appliance has many positive effects, it simulates the massage of the human hand, and massages the neck at a deep level, so as to prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, relieve the pressure of muscles, promote blood circulation and improve sleep quality. Therefore, when we buy cervical massagers, we must be careful to choose those professional brands with research and development strength, only in this way can we buy high-quality and practical cervical massagers, and enjoy the relaxed fun brought by massage.
