Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to their physical health, for example, the post-00s have jumped into the health army, and even in order to prevent cervical spondylosis, they will use cervical massagers for massage in their daily lives. In fact, for us ordinary people, the use of cervical massagers is indeed very good, on the one hand, it relieves stress, and on the other hand, it can also relax and soothe the cervical spine that has not been active for a long time. However, as a professional nurse, I recommend everyone to use a cervical massager while reminding everyone that not every cervical massager has high standards, and inferior products not only have a bad massage effect, but also may cause damage to the cervical spine. Many people may not know what the hazards of electric cervical massager are, so today I will give you a science popularization.
(The picture above is some of the cervical massagers I have used)
1. What are the hazards of electric cervical massager?
What is the harm of electric cervical massager?High-quality professional cervical massager is very useful for our health, but now the cervical massager market is gradually moving towards a chaotic situation, many brands lack real technical adjustment, blindly spend money on advertising brush presence, massager should have a soothing effect is not achieved, and even damage the health of the cervical spine. The use of such products is harmful to us and not beneficial, everyone must be vigilant!
Hazard 1: The risk of fibrosis or atrophy occurs in the muscles. When the strength of the cervical massager is uneven or overused, the muscle tissue of the neck and shoulder and the intricate nervous system will be seriously damaged, and the original function of the muscles will be inhibited, and muscle fibrosis and atrophy will occur, which we cannot ignore because of its small possibility.
Hazard 2, aggravation of cervical spondylosis. Neck massager uses kneading or local transmission for massage, its compatibility is very important for different groups of people, if we use the neck massager its compatibility is not good, in the long-term use of the cervical spine to a large extent to stimulate the cervical spine, cervical spondylosis may gradually deepen, the neck more painful.
Hazard 3, cervical spondylosis worsening. If you use a massager or pulse massager with poor compatibility, it will be easy to stimulate the cervical spine through a long period of use, and the neck will become more painful and gradually deepen the cervical spondylosis.
Hazard 4: Feeling stiff or even loss of sensation in the neck. If you use inferior products or have a small massage area and too much massage force, it will also cause neck stiffness or loss of sensation due to excessive stimulation, and even the normal rotation of the neck will be affected, endangering normal life.
2. There are four reasons why inferior cervical massagers have the risk of injuring muscles
In order to let you understand the reasons why inferior products hurt muscles, so as to better avoid, I found a summary of the whole network spit voting on cervical massagers (as shown in the figure below), from which we can know what design loopholes are available for cervical massagers, and I will also summarize the four major reasons for the harm of inferior cervical massagers.
1. Useless functions are superimposed. Many neck massagers will add many useless features, such as built-in fragrance, smart APP, force sensing, audio, etc., which will have a serious impact on the structural stability and reliability of the neck massager. These additional features reduce the stability, precision, and uniformity of the massage process and increase the risk of injuring muscles, while also shortening the life of the neck massager.
2. Lack of kneading accuracy. The neck and shoulders have many important muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, which are very sensitive. If there is a deviation during the massage, not only will the actual massage effect be reduced, but it may also hurt the muscles.
3. Use a single-motor massager. If a single motor is used, the load of the motor will be larger, the kinetic energy utilization efficiency will be greatly reduced, and the loss of the machine will be accelerated, and the stability of the force is very poor, which will easily damage the muscles.
4. Overemphasizing the depth and strength of the massage. The depth and strength of the massage is not as large as possible, you should avoid choosing a neck massager that pursues the depth or strength of the massage too much, but choose a better one that takes into account the massage strength and comfort, otherwise although the strength is too large, the muscles will be damaged, resulting in discomfort for the shoulder and neck.
3. The four benefits of a professional electric cervical massager
What is the harm of electric cervical massager? We need to know a truth first, the current number of people with cervical spondylosis is increasing year by year, and the care of the cervical spine has become particularly important, and the high-quality cervical massager is recognized by doctors to effectively relieve and prevent cervical spine diseases. Therefore, although there are differences in product quality in the cervical massager market, we are people who have the ability to choose independently, and we can avoid inferior products to buy a professional cervical massager, if you use a professional cervical massager, you will find that it has many benefits:
Benefit 1: Helps with blood circulation. Cervical massager its transmission and kneading function, people in the process of massage, it can effectively improve the full circulation of blood in our neck, and then relieve long-term dizziness and headache symptoms, the discomfort of the head is reduced, and the quality of sleep is greatly improved, so that the brain can be fully nourished, bringing a comfortable feeling of the whole body.
Benefit 2: Effective relief of difficulty falling asleep. Nowadays, many people have poor sleep conditions, when our neck is under greater pressure, it is easy to lead to difficulty falling asleep and poor sleep quality, and the neck massager can effectively massage our head, shoulders and neck, and solve the sleep problems that have been troubled for a long time in the past, help you fall asleep quickly and ensure the quality of sleep.
Benefit 3: It can prevent cervical spine disease. Nowadays, there are many people who suffer from frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis, and the use of cervical massager can effectively relieve neck fatigue through a certain regular massage and kneading operation, and the stiffness of shoulder and neck muscles is also improved, and can promote blood circulation and help prevent cervical spondylosis.
Benefit 4: Reduces the risk of cold in the shoulders and neck. The hot compress function in the neck massager can knead our neck and shoulders during the massage process, and can also be hot compressed, which is soothing and warm, which greatly reduces the situation of cold air entering the body, and effectively avoids the cold and cold of the shoulder and neck.
In view of the harm of inferior electric cervical massager we have done a detailed science popularization, now there are a large number of cervical massager brands on the market will only advertise their own product performance is excellent will not be harmful to the cervical spine, but in fact, the effect of use is not like this, in the face of this chaotic cervical massager market, are we consumers passive? In fact, otherwise, we can look at a comparison chart of the core performance evaluation of mainstream cervical massagers made by a professional organization, and you can see which products are really of good quality.
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", because of the "unconventional" sports equipment concept and technical precipitation by a large number of professional athletes, sports enthusiasts love, it has a strict pursuit of performance, safety and does not hurt muscles, massage uniformity, massage penetration, Kneading more accurate has reached the highest level within 1,000 yuan, tested by authoritative institutions, compared with the vast majority of similar competing products, the deep muscle relaxation rate is increased by 130%, the massage comfort is increased by 124%, the performance is top-notch and the muscle damage rate is reduced by 97.2%!
"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 addition to the wild AGVIEE, you can also take a look at it easily, the online popularity is relatively high, and the appearance is atmospheric and durable. If you have a limited budget, you can also consider Xiaomi, which has a certain advantage in the same price range.
Fourth, eight guides for purchasing a professional electric cervical massager
After reading the above popular science, many friends have an understanding of what the harm of inferior electric cervical massager is. Therefore, I have concerns about the purchase and use of cervical massagers, and I am worried about buying products of poor quality. In the face of the mixed products of the cervical massager market, what choice should we make in order to avoid those inferior products Xi?
1. The choice of price should be reasonable. Many of the products below 300 yuan are OEM products or Internet celebrity products, they do not have technical tuning and material guarantee, it is easy to damage the muscles during use, and the general feedback massage effect and other performance is insufficient, and the attenuation degree of long-term use is high!
2. Brand professionalism. Professional brands will take into account the massage comfort and transmission performance at the core of the product. There are a large number of adjustment indicators and technical optimizations for various parameters such as massage depth, transmission frequency stability, uniformity of massage strength, kneading accuracy and range, etc.
3. Massage depth and strength level. Some businesses blindly pursue strength and depth, in fact, it is unreasonable, if you want to avoid damage to muscles, you can't overly promote massage depth and strength products, you have to take into account massage strength, depth and comfort.
4. Choose the one with low running sound. The generation of noise is closely related to the quality of the motor and the precision of the motor structure, and choosing less than 40 decibels not only has better product performance, but also has a more comfortable experience.
5. The quality of dual motors is better. The dual motors will improve the efficiency of kinetic energy utilization and will greatly reduce the load on the motor. Under long-term use, the transmission attenuation degree is lower, and the strength stability is better, and the service life is longer.
6. The size of the massage area should be reasonable. The massage area directly affects the soothing effect of the massage and is key in terms of the massage head. If the distribution of the massage head used is concentrated, it will lead to a smaller range of massage area, and the effect of massage will be greatly reduced, which will make people uncomfortable! If you want to solve this problem, you should choose four massage heads and trapezoidal distribution can take into account the trapezius muscle, bringing a better massage experience.
7. Whether it is comfortable enough to wear. For example, the choice of materials in contact with the skin, the breathability of the material, the tightness of the neck, the feeling of heaviness of the shoulders and neck, etc., such factors should be paid attention to.
8. Massage and kneading precision. The neck massager with high accuracy of massage landing point is affected by the motor performance quality and brand technology tuning, which can effectively protect the muscles, blood vessels and nerves of our shoulder and neck parts.
Throughout the whole text, we have an understanding of the hazards of inferior electric cervical massager and the benefits of professional electric cervical massager, the most important thing is that we should pay attention to whether the professional and technical strength of the product is strong when purchasing, otherwise once you buy unprofessional products, it is easy to cause serious muscle damage, and even cause other irreversible damage!
