Is the cervical vertebra massager useful?

The cervical massager just looks expensive, but it's actually very cheap. I bought two cervical massagers these two days, and it feels very easy to use. So I bought another one for my parents. It looks expensive, but it is very cheap.

Cervical Massager has a certain effect on some patients with cervical spondylosis, which can relieve muscle soreness. The cervical massager can relax the muscles and increase the blood supply of the muscles by massaging the muscles on the back of the neck, so as to relax the muscles and relieve the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. It is helpful for patients with mild cervical spondylosis, but it should be used with caution for patients with severe cervical spondylosis and spinal stenosis, especially when disc herniation has severely compressed nerves or caused spinal stenosis. When using cervical massager, these patients may be subjected to vibration or excessive massage, thus affecting neurological function and aggravating symptoms.

Therefore, whether patients will use cervical massager, it is recommended to go to the hospital for routine examination, such as cervical magnetic resonance imaging, to judge the degree of cervical spondylosis. For patients with mild cervical spondylosis, cervical massager is helpful. For patients with severe cervical spondylosis, cervical massagers are sometimes not helpful, but may be harmful.

Cervical massager has a good effect on some patients with neck muscle strain, which can obviously improve the symptoms of neck pain and neck muscle weakness. It is suitable for the treatment of cervical muscle strain or sympathetic cervical spondylosis, which is helpful for the recovery of the disease, but ineffective for the following types of cervical spondylosis:

1, cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, the symptoms of numbness and weakness of upper limbs appear obviously when intervertebral disc herniation compresses nerves. At this time, there is a possibility that the intervertebral disc will further protrude and the condition will worsen.

2. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is caused by the compression of spinal nerves in cervical spinal canal by intervertebral disc. Massage with massager will induce obvious disc herniation, which may further aggravate symptoms and even paraplegia.

3, esophageal cervical spondylosis, intervertebral disc protruding forward, pressing the esophagus in front, massage will lead to local prominent, aggravating the condition. Therefore, the choice of massage instrument also needs to be cautious, depending on the individual's physical condition.
