The neck massager is very popular at the moment, it is an efficient and convenient massage tool. By kneading the muscles of the cervical spine, it can improve the quality of our sleep, reduce the symptoms of dizziness and headaches, and also prevent the occurrence of cervical spine diseases. However, are neck massagers really good to use and safe? What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? In the current market, the quality of many neck massagers is worrying, and some can also damage the neck muscles. As a professional with eight years of experience, I have evaluated a variety of neck massagers (as shown in the picture below), and today I will share with you my actual experience of using neck massagers through this article.
OneWhat are the disadvantages of a neck massager?
What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? According to CCTV reports, more than 30% of the neck massager samples on the market currently have quality problems, and may even lead to the risk of electric shock. This phenomenon has really caught our attention, so I will summarize the 4 major disadvantages that a neck massager may have for you:
1. It may cause dizziness and headache. The muscles and nerves of the cervical spine are very sensitive, and some unprofessional neck massagers may overstimulate them during use, resulting in compression of the blood vessels in the neck and shoulder area, and insufficient blood ** in the neck will lead to symptoms such as dizziness. Especially current pulse massagers, this type of massager is more prone to such problems.
2. It may lead to muscle fibrosis or atrophy. Muscle wasting can be caused by the use of low-quality products, improper use or overuse of the neck and shoulders area, so it should not be ignored because it is unlikely.
3. It may aggravate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. If we use an inappropriate massager or pulse massager, it will cause severe irritation to the cervical spine under long-term use, resulting in the gradual aggravation of the symptoms of cervical spondylosis and the aggravation of neck pain.
4. It may cause neck stiffness or loss of sensation. If the quality of the product is poor or the massage range is not extensive enough, the neck may become stiff or partially unconscious after the massage, which will affect the normal rotation of the neck and seriously affect daily life.
IINeck massagerThere are four reasons why there is a risk of muscle injury
What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? We have learned about the disadvantages of neck massagers, but many people may wonder, aren't neck massagers specifically designed to relieve muscle stress? Why does it hurt muscles? Through the following negative evaluation table of neck massagers that are the most complained about on the whole network, we can get a glimpse of some reasons. At the same time, I will also explain it to you in detail:
1. Excessive addition of useless functions. Many neck massagers will add many useless features, such as built-in fragrance, smart app, force sensing, sound, etc. These features can have a serious impact on the structural stability and reliability of the neck massager, reducing the stability, precision, and uniformity of the massage process, increasing the risk of muscle injury, and shortening the life of the neck massager.
2. Excessive pursuit of strength and depth. When choosing a neck massager, you should avoid going too far for the depth and strength of the massage, as over-massage may lead to muscle damage and shoulder and neck discomfort. Instead, focus on the balance of massage strength and comfort for a better experience.
3. Lack of precise kneading techniques. The neck and shoulders have many sensitive muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. If the massage process is deviated, the actual massage effect will be greatly reduced, and it may even cause damage to the muscles.
4. Use single-motor products. Single-motor products will increase the burden on the motor, resulting in a decrease in kinetic energy utilization efficiency, accelerated machine loss, and poor strength stability, which is easy to damage muscles.
3. Popular scienceNeck massagerThe six major contraindications to use
What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? After learning about the common drawbacks of inferior neck massagers, can we use professional products with confidence?This is not the case. Not only can an unprofessional neck massager cause damage to the muscles, but improper use can also lead to physical discomfort. Next, I will give you a brief science popularization:
1. Pay attention to the frequency of use, it is generally recommended to use it 2 times a dayEach massage should last 10 minutes.
2. When using the neck massager, ensure that the surrounding air is circulated. Avoid using it in places with poor air circulation to prevent the machine from heating, fire, electric shock, or injury to the user.
3. When using the current pulse massager, do not set the frequency too high. Too high a frequency can cause muscles to relax, and electric shock stimulation can cause damage to muscles.
4. **Sensitive people should use neck massagers with caution. When using, pay attention to the time should not be too long, so as not to aggravate the sensitivity of local fever.
5. Avoid using the neck massager on a full stomach, on an empty stomach and after drinking. In these cases, massage may cause rapid blood flow, which can increase stomach peristalsis and cause symptoms such as chest tightness and vomiting.
6. Don't blindly pursue excessive massage intensity. For the first time, choose the most comfortable massage pressure that suits you.

Fifth, choose a majorNeck massagerEight guides
What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? At this point, we've learned which brands are more trustworthy. However, this is not enough. We also need to learn the difference between the various properties in order to find the neck massager that really suits us in the ever-changing market. Here are some tips for choosing a neck massager:
1. Reasonable massage depth and strength. It is unreasonable for some merchants to over-pursue strength and depth. In order to protect the muscles from damage, we should choose products that combine the strength, depth and comfort of the massage.
2. Pay attention to wearing comfort. The choice of materials in contact with **, the air permeability of the material, the tightness of the neck, and the feeling of shoulder and neck drag are all factors that affect comfort, which deserve our attention.
3. Kneading accuracy requirements. The neck massager with high precision of massage landing point is affected by the performance quality of the motor and the technical adjustment of the brand, which can effectively protect the blood vessels, nerves and muscles in the shoulder and neck area. Unprofessional products are prone to deviation during continuous massage, which can damage muscles and reduce the actual massage effect.
4. Brand technology adjustment ability. Professional brands have a more comprehensive consideration of the core massage comfort and transmission performance of the product. They will make a lot of technical optimizations and adjustments for many parameters such as massage depth, transmission frequency stability, massage force uniformity, kneading accuracy and range, etc.
5. Pay attention to battery quality. Choose a neck massager with a battery capacity greater than 2200 mAh, and the battery life will be better. Generally speaking, the neck massager can be used for about 8-10 times for 10 minutes at a time. However, it should be noted that the battery quality of inferior products is poor, and the battery life will be significantly shortened after a period of use.
6. Number and distribution of massage heads. The number and distribution of massage heads directly affect the comfort of the massage. If the massage head is concentrated, the massage area will be smaller, and the experience will be greatly reduced. Choose a massager with four massage heads and a trapezoidal distribution to better take care of the trapezius muscles and provide a better massage experience.
7. Dual motors are better. Dual motors can improve the efficiency of kinetic energy utilization and reduce the load on the motor. After long-term use, the transmission attenuation degree is lower, the force stability is better, and the service life is longer.
8. The physical kneading type is more worth buying. It is recommended to choose a physical kneading massager, which is more in line with the needs of the Chinese people, **smaller. In contrast, the actual massage effect of the electrical pulse massager is not good, and many people say that they cannot accept electrical stimulation, which can easily lead to muscle damage.
What are the disadvantages of a neck massager? Be sure to choose a brand product with professional technical tuning to avoid the adverse effects of an unprofessional neck massager. I firmly believe that the neck massager is an excellent product that is well worth using for everyone. Every use makes people feel relaxed and has a great help for physical health.
