Is the neck massager dangerous? This is a question worth discussing, after all, the neck massager is becoming more and more popular as a portable massage device. However, with the use of more people, its existing safety problems have also leaked out, some people say that the neck massager they bought after using the shoulder and neck muscles always feel uncomfortable, and even the muscles are red and swollen. As a rehabilitation expert with many years of experience, I think it is necessary for me to give you a science about the relevant knowledge of neck massager, for the authenticity of popular science data, I have done a lot of user questionnaires, collected a lot of data about neck massagers, and bought a large number of neck massagers for personal evaluation, now I will share this knowledge with you, and reveal the harm of inferior products!
(The picture below is some of the products I have tested)
1. Is the neck massager dangerous?
Is the neck massager dangerous? This mainly depends on the quality of the product and whether it has the strength of professional technical training, inferior neck massager due to the low cost of accessories, there is no professional training technology reserve for shoulder and neck products, the production of product massage is often not accurate and unstable, long-term use is likely to bring great danger to our health, what are the specific dangers?
1. Make the neck stiff or unconscious: If you use a low-quality massager or a product with a narrow coverage, if you use it excessively, it may lead to neck stiffness or local numbness, which will affect the normal rotation of the neck.
2. Cause damage to bones, muscles, gods, etc.: Some inferior neck massagers use low-quality motors or exert too much force, and their massage range is limited. However, structures such as bones, nerves, and muscles in the neck are extremely fragile and sensitive. If these products are not selected and used, they may lead to gradual atrophy of the muscles in the shoulder and neck area.
3. Cause cervical spondylosis to be more serious: During use, inferior neck massagers may cause irritation to the cervical spine, which will aggravate cervical spondylosis and neck pain.
4. Cause muscle fibrosis or atrophy: If you accidentally use an inferior neck massager or overuse it, it may lead to muscle fibrosis and atrophy of the shoulder and neck. Although the probability of occurrence is low, vigilance is still required.
Second, the four major scams of the inferior neck massager will hurt the muscles!
Is the neck massager dangerous? The above has introduced you to the danger of inferior neck massager, but have you ever thought about it? Why is there such a danger of inferior neck massage? In fact, this is mainly due to the unreliable businessmen's forgetfulness of profit, they do not pay attention to the quality but work the appearance and impractical functions, and only use some inferior and low-cost accessories for price competition. These kinds of products can seriously damage our muscles, and these can also be seen from the large number of negative reviews of inferior neck massagers I have collected (pictured below). Everyone complains the most about the phenomenon of neck massager hurting muscles. Therefore, we must be careful of the four major scams of neck massager merchants.
1. Do not pay attention to kneading accuracy. Using a poor-quality neck massager with poor accuracy can cause damage to the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, leading to health problems such as dizziness, headaches, nystagmus, cervical spine misalignment, and even stroke.
2. Save costs with a single motor. When a single motor product is subjected to a large load, its kinetic energy utilization efficiency is relatively low, and the transmission attenuation degree is high and the strength fluctuates greatly during long-term use. This condition can easily lead to muscle damage.
3. Add a lot of impractical functions. Many of the products in the design of the neck massager incorporate a wealth of features such as smart apps, force feedback, sound therapy, and built-in aromatherapy. However, these additional features do not really improve the massage results, but can rather diminish the stability and reliability of the product, which in turn affects its key metrics such as accuracy, uniformity, and stability. In addition, these functions can also lead to muscle damage and shorten the life of the product. Therefore, when choosing a neck massager, consumers should focus on its core features and not go for too many fancy additional features.
4. Excessive promotion of massage depth and strength. Depth and dynamics are not always better. Excessive pursuit of product depth and strength can lead to pain and muscle damage during massage, while limiting the ability of the neck and shoulder area to adapt.
3. Summary of the five benefits of high-quality neck massager!
Are neck massagers dangerous? Inferior massagers are indeed dangerous. I don't know how you feel after reading the four major scams of inferior neck massagers, do you dare not buy neck massagers? In fact, don't worry, after all, there are still professional neck massagers in this market. According to authoritative media reports, the number of people suffering from cervical spondylosis in mainland China is as high as 200 million, and high-quality neck massagers have miraculous effects in preventing cervical spondylosis. However, this is only one benefit of a good neck massager. The specific benefits are explained in detail below.
1. Prevention of cervical spondylosis: by stimulating the acupuncture points of the neck, regulating the meridian qi and blood, preventing cervical spondylosis and other diseases. It also has a significant effect on frozen shoulder, which is common in Chinese.
2. Improve sleep quality: Excellent products have significant curative effects on the head, neck and back, which can effectively alleviate sleep disorders and help people quickly enter a deep sleep state, thereby reducing the occurrence of insomnia and dreaminess.
3. Promote blood circulation: The high-quality neck massager effectively promotes blood circulation, eliminates dizziness, headache and other symptoms through precise transmission and logistics kneading technology, and relieves the pain caused by insufficient blood or poor circulation. In addition, it can also promote blood circulation in the neck, increase metabolism levels, improve sleep quality and oxygen supply to the brain.
4. Relieve soreness and fatigue: high-quality products can effectively relieve the fatigue of neck muscles, soothe tense muscles and restore their vitality. A high-quality neck massager is undoubtedly an ideal tool for professionals such as office workers who sit still in their chairs for a long time, teachers who work at desks for a long time, and drivers who sit still for long periods of time.
5. Relieve muscle pressure: In modern life, continuous use of mobile phones, computers and sitting at a desk for long periods of time can easily lead to stress and tension, and lead to problems such as shoulder inflammation and neck pain. High-quality products can effectively relieve tension and relax the body and mind.

Fourth, eight tips for purchasing high-quality neck massagers!
Is a neck massager dangerous? An inferior neck massager will damage the health of the cervical spine, which is indeed very dangerous. We also know the benefits of high-quality neck massagers, I believe everyone must want to choose a high-quality product, but the choice is indeed a laborious thing, in order to help you save a little time and avoid stepping on thunder, I specially summarized eight purchase tips for you.
1. It has a brand with professional R&D strength. It is recommended to choose products from professional brands instead of pursuing influencer brands or cross-border brands. The professional brand has a more comprehensive debugging and optimization in terms of the core transmission performance and massage comfort of the product, and will take into account multiple indicators such as the uniformity of massage force, the stability of the transmission frequency, the kneading accuracy, the depth and range of the massage.
2. Products with a large massage area. Choose a neck massager with multiple massage heads and a trapezoidal distribution to ensure that it can massage multiple areas such as trapezius muscles. If the massage heads are concentrated and distributed, the massage area will become smaller, which will reduce the massage efficiency.
3. The depth and strength of the massage are appropriate. Don't blindly pursue too much depth and strength, but choose products that combine massage strength and comfort. Excessive force can cause pain or muscle damage, and make it difficult for the neck and shoulder to adapt.
4. Physical kneading massage. It is advisable to opt for a traditional physical kneading massager as it is more acceptable to most people. In contrast, the current pulse massager may be less effective in terms of actual massage results, and the current stimulation may cause muscle and nerve damage, so the risk is much greater.
5. Dual-motor system. Preference is given to the dual-motor system over the single-motor system, because the dual-motor system can reduce the load on the motor, improve the efficiency of kinetic energy utilization, reduce the transmission attenuation, make the massage force more stable, the overall noise is smaller, and the service life is longer.
6. Products with high precision of massage and kneading. Choose a neck massager with high precision in the massage landing point. The muscles, blood vessels and nerves in the shoulder and neck area are sensitive, and if the product shifts during continuous massage or the kneading accuracy is poor, it is easy to damage the muscles and seriously affect the massage effect. The accuracy is greatly affected by the performance quality of the motor and the technical tuning of the brand.
7. Products with the right price. Choose cost-effective products within a reasonable price range, don't be greedy for cheap, but don't have to buy more than your budget. Do not choose products with a price of less than 300 yuan, because most of these products are OEM products, lack of technical adjustment and quality assurance, easy to cause use hazards and muscle damage, and the performance often does not meet expectations, and the attenuation degree of long-term use is high.
8. Strength uniformity products. Choose a professional neck massager and adjust the pressure evenly. If the strength and frequency of transmission of the product are uneven due to inferior motors, it may cause muscle damage and fail to achieve the desired massage effect.
Is the neck massager dangerous? After reading my popular science article, I believe you already know the answer to the question. A high-quality neck massager can effectively reduce neck muscle tension and pain, improve sleep quality, and also have various benefits such as preventing and alleviating cervical spondylosis. Therefore, for the sake of our health and to enjoy the happiness of massage without burden, we must choose brand products with R&D strength and will not damage muscles when purchasing, so as to avoid the risk of shoulder and neck damage caused by following the trend and buying inferior products!
