With the change of modern people's lifestyle, outdoor activities continue to decrease, people suffer from cervical spondylosis and other neck diseases are more and more, cervical massager is applied and born, more and more popular with the masses, but is there any harm to cervical massager? As a rehabilitation expert, I think I have the responsibility to give you a popular science about cervical massager, so that everyone has a basic understanding of the knowledge of cervical massager, and can also better choose massage products. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, I did a lot of user surveys, and I also personally purchased a large number of cervical massagers for testing (the picture below is some of the products I tested), and I did get a lot of information. I'm going to share that with you today.
1. Is there any harm to the cervical massager?
At present, the cervical massager on the market is mixed, and the price ranges from dozens to thousands, but not all products are worth using. According to the statistics of relevant departments, at least 3 percent of the cervical massager on the market is unqualified products, and those products with unqualified quality will bring great harm to our health if used for a long time. Next, I will popularize the common hazards of inferior cervical massagers.
1. Aggravate cervical spondylosis. Inferior cervical massagers or products with poor compatibility may produce excessive irritation during use, which can lead to worsening of cervical spondylosis symptoms, further triggering more severe neck pain and discomfort.
2. Cause neck stiffness or loss of consciousness. Prolonged use of low-quality massagers or products with limited massage range may lead to stiffness of neck muscles and loss of local sensation, which may affect the normal mobility of the neck.
3. Damage to bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Some low-quality cervical massagers may use low-quality motors or excessive force, resulting in a limited massage range. The bones, nerves, muscles and other structures of the neck are extremely fragile and sensitive, so when choosing and using a cervical massager, if it is not carefully selected or operated incorrectly, it may cause injury.
4. Cause muscle fibrosis and atrophy. Poor quality products, wrong or overuse can lead to fibrosis and atrophy of the shoulder and neck muscles. Although the probability of this happening is low, it should still be taken seriously.
Second, the four major routines of inferior cervical massager are not tricked!
According to my collection of a large number of inferior cervical massager negative evaluations, it can be seen that these inferior products will seriously harm our muscles (as shown in the figure below), the main reason is that the sales of inferior cervical massagers have no professional technology, and can only engage in some marketing routines to deceive consumers. What are the specific routines?
1. Engage in a lot of impractical functions to attract attention. Some cervical massagers are overly innovative, incorporating rich functions such as smart APP, audio, force sensing, and built-in fragrance. However, these additional features often lead to impaired stability of the massager, which in turn affects its precise and even massage effect on the muscles. To make matters worse, these potential problems can cause irreversible damage to the muscles while shortening the life of the massager. Therefore, when choosing a cervical massager, you should pay attention to its core functions and avoid being confused by flashy functions.
2. Take the massage accuracy inappropriately. The neck and shoulder area contains many sensitive muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Choosing a massager with poor kneading accuracy may cause deviation during the massage, reduce the actual massage effect, and may even cause damage to the muscles.
3. Use a single motor. Some cervical massagers adopt a single-motor design, which may lead to a large motor load and a reduced kinetic energy utilization efficiency. After long-term use, the transmission attenuation will increase, and the force will become less stable, which may cause damage to the muscles.
4. Deliberately emphasize the role of massage depth and strength. It is not necessary that the deeper and stronger the massage of the cervical massager, the better. Choosing products that place too much emphasis on depth and strength can cause pain or muscle damage during the massage, causing the neck and shoulder to not be able to adapt, and the benefits outweigh the benefits. It is best to choose a cervical massager that can take into account both strength and comfort.
3. Five benefits of high-quality cervical massager!
Is there any harm in the cervical massager? The inferior cervical massager is very harmful, and it is precisely because the inferior product merchants always focus on marketing routines and do not focus on the professionalism of the product. However, high-quality products with real professional strength have great benefits for our health, for example, to prevent cervical spondylosis. According to Tencent News, nearly 300 million people in mainland China suffer from cervical spondylosis. And high-quality cervical massager is an effective means to prevent cervical spondylosis. Below I will give you a popular science about the five benefits of high-quality cervical massagers.
1. Correct shoulder and neck muscle compression. In modern life, prolonged use of mobile phones, computers, and sedentary lifestyles can lead to excessive compression and tension of the shoulder and neck muscles, which in turn can lead to frozen shoulder and shoulder and neck muscle pain. Cervical massagers are effective in relieving muscle tension, preventing and relieving pain, and helping muscles relax.
2. Relieve cervical spine soreness and fatigue. The cervical massager has a significant effect on relieving shoulder and neck pain, and can effectively improve the problem of limited movement caused by cervical spine discomfort. For white-collar workers who sit for a long time and lack exercise, as well as people who have been engaged in desk work, driving and other occupations for a long time, the cervical massager is undoubtedly an ideal care tool.
3. Improve sleep quality. The cervical massager has an excellent massage effect on the head, neck, shoulders and back, helping to relieve sleep problems, help people fall into deep sleep faster, and alleviate problems such as insomnia and dreaminess.
4. Promote blood circulation. Through transmission and kneading, the cervical massager can promote blood circulation in the neck and relieve headaches, dizziness and other discomforts caused by insufficient blood supply. High-quality blood circulation can improve the quality of sleep, provide sufficient nutrients for the brain, maintain long-lasting energy, and make the body and mind get sufficient rest.
5. Prevention of cervical spondylosis. Cervical massager can effectively relieve neck fatigue, improve shoulder and neck stiffness, and promote blood circulation, thereby preventing cervical spondylosis. For the prevalent problem of frozen shoulder, the cervical massager has a significant effect.
Through my popular science, everyone should have a clearer understanding of the benefits of cervical massagers. In order to make a better choice, I think it is necessary for everyone to have a basic judgment on the common neck massagers on the market, in order to figure out these, I consulted a lot of authoritative evaluation agencies, and they provided me with an evaluation report (as shown below), showing the key evaluation data of common neck massagers on the market, which is shared with you below.
After actual testing, it was found that the performance of the extreme sports and health care brand Weiye AGVIEE is extremely good, it is recognized as the originator of the field of "no muscle damage", and is loved by a large number of professional athletes and sports enthusiasts because of its "unconventional" sports concept and technical precipitation. Its transmission stability, massage penetration, kneading accuracy and other core technologies have achieved the ceiling level, the first ten high-performance and non-muscle black technology, tested by authoritative institutions, compared with most similar competing products deep muscle relaxation rate increased by 130%, massage comfort increased by 124%, top-notch performance and reduced muscle damage rate of 97.2%! It has also developed innovative TRX acupoint lattice massage technology, which greatly improves sleep quality, relieves dizziness and headaches, etc., which is good news for most people with poor sleep quality and frequent headaches!
As one of the three major massage care brands with the same name as Bei Easy, his family never advertises, but it is loved by sports gods and physiotherapists, including speed skating, skiing world famous Li Shuang, Tu Xiao, Guo Dan and a large number of professional athletes are used, and the sales reputation ranks first in the middle and high-end!
"Unconventional" Weiye removes redundant public functions and interactions, over the years of fever performance and does not hurt muscles, the original X-Hive5.0 honeycomb metal power engine, dual-channel approved transmission technology, DPP micro-frequency dynamic compensation technology and other black technology, massage range increased by 52%, strength uniformity increased by 78%, the strongest performance and the lowest muscle damage rate!

Durable, certified muscle damage rate, perfect performance, stable and accurate without hurting muscles!
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 purchase skills of high-quality cervical massager!
Is there any harm to the cervical massager? There is no need to repeat this issue, as long as we choose carefully and buy high-quality products, we can feel the benefits brought by high-quality products. However, there are a dazzling array of cervical massagers on the market, and the business routines are constantly updated, so it has become a very troublesome thing to buy. Hope it helps.
1. Pay attention to the choice of professional brands: choose professional brands with professional R&D strength, rather than Internet celebrity brands that pursue fashion. Professional brands have more advantages in core transmission performance and massage comfort, from force uniformity to transmission frequency stability, there are many optimizations.
2. Reasonable trade-off of massage depth and strength: Don't blindly pursue excessive massage depth and strength, but choose products that balance strength and comfort. Excessive force can cause pain or muscle damage, which is not conducive to shoulder and neck adaptation.
3. Pay attention to massage accuracy: choose a massager with high massage accuracy. The muscles, blood vessels, and nerves in the shoulder and neck area are very sensitive, and if the massager shifts during use or the kneading accuracy is not good, it may damage the muscles and affect the massage effect. Kneading accuracy is affected by motor performance and brand technology tuning.
4. Dual-motor system preferred: Dual-motor system is preferred over single-motor system. The dual-motor system can reduce the load of the motor, improve the efficiency of kinetic energy utilization, reduce the transmission attenuation, and make the use of strength more stable, less noisy, and have a longer service life.
5. Choose a suitable massage method: The traditional physical kneading massager is recommended, which is relatively more popular with the public. The current pulse massager may be less effective, and its current stimulation may cause damage to the muscles and nerves.
6. Ensure the appropriate massage range: choose a massager with multiple massage heads and trapezoidal distribution, so that it can cover multiple muscle areas. An overly concentrated distribution of the massage head may reduce the massage area and affect the results.
7. Pay attention to the uniformity of strength: choose a cervical massager with uniformity adjustment. Inferior motors can lead to uneven force and transmission frequency, causing muscle damage and also affecting the massage effect.
8. Reasonable price: avoid choosing products with too low prices (less than 300 yuan), these are usually OEM products, quality and technical adjustment may be insufficient, the risk of injury is higher, the performance may not meet expectations, and the attenuation phenomenon is more obvious.
Fifth, the use of cervical massager six taboos popular science!
Whether the cervical massager is harmful or not is related to its own professionalism. However, no matter how good the product is, it is not available to all people. For some special populations, even mild massage stimulation may have a negative effect on their physical condition. The following six groups of people are prohibited from using cervical massagers.
1. People with acute sprains and contusions. If you accidentally twist into the swollen area, do not massage the injured swollen area with a cervical massager at this time, otherwise it will cause more severe swelling and pain.
2. Children under 8 years old. Children under the age of 8 are in the period of skeletal development, and the vibration of the cervical massager should avoid directly acting on the parts with fewer bones and muscles, so as not to affect the development of the child, so it is generally not recommended for children under the age of 8 to use the cervical massager.
3. People who are too thin. What are the characteristics of people who are too thin? Touching your body is bones, and we all know that massagers cannot be used directly on bones.
4. Elderly people over 70 years old and pregnant women. The elderly have severe muscle atrophy and fragile and sensitive bones, so the elderly over 70 years old are not suitable for using cervical massagers.
5. Hypertension and anemia. This type of group cannot be used, otherwise it is extremely easy to fall off the hardened plaque by compression, which will block the blood vessels and lead to the occurrence of stroke. If the cervical spine is uncomfortable in this group, they should seek medical attention immediately.
6. Suffering from underlying diseases such as thrombotic diseases. If the massage is too strong, it will have adverse effects on our health. This is because excessive pressure will cause embolus or plaque in the blood to vibrate and fall off, and follow the blood flow to various organs, resulting in blockage. In this way, it may cause a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Through my popular science, I believe you already know that inferior products are very harmful, we must understand its routines, try to avoid purchasing, high-quality products have many benefits, such as preventing cervical spondylosis, correcting muscle compression, relieving physical fatigue, promoting blood circulation, improving sleep, etc. Therefore, when purchasing, we must buy a professional brand with R&D strength, rather than an Internet celebrity brand with a strong marketing wind but no actual professional technology.
