Description

Pneumatic spine massager {Massaging device for spine using pneumatic pressure}

The present invention relates to a spinal massager using a pneumatic, more specifically, a simple configuration that can be easily used by anyone, men and women, such as students or office workers or elderly people with poor back health to sit or study for a long time, At the same time, the present invention relates to a spinal massager using pneumatic pressure to massage the spine and the back, regardless of time and place.

The spine is the pillar of the body and consists of the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs (vertebral discs) between them, and is strengthened by strong ligaments and muscles from the skull to the pelvis, supporting the body and maintaining equilibrium.

These vertebrae are composed of 7 neck bones (cervical spine), 12 spines (thoracic spine), 5 lumbar spine (lumbar vertebrae), 1 sacrum and tailbone (sacral and vertebrae), and between the vertebrae and the vertebrae (Commonly called 'disc') is responsible for the buffer between bones. Also in the center is the spinal cord, which is connected to the brain, which controls and regulates all the body's functions.

The spine not only supports the body's weight but also protects the spinal cord, a connector that sends commands from the brain to each part of the body. The 24 pairs of vertebral nerves extending out of the spinal cord exit between the vertebral bones and are distributed to all organs, muscles, blood vessels, ligaments and skin of the body. These spinal cords and spinal nerves are responsible for all our body functions: maintaining our senses, movement, posture, body temperature, heart rate, breathing, and blood sugar.

Our nervous system controls everything we do consciously and unconsciously. Therefore, the 26 spine bones, pelvis, and skulls that protect these spinal cords are important to health.

The spine, which is made up of 26 bones, also serves as an intermediate link between the pelvis and the skull. When each vertebral bone is in place, the spinal cord or spinal nerves work without any impediment, but when the vertebral bones cannot find their place, the vertebral nerves, which must pass between these vertebrae, begin to be compressed and the disorders of the various nervous systems Begins. These disorders of the nervous system lower the function of related organs of the body and also lower the immune function, resulting in serious diseases.

From the moment you stand up with your feet, your back will support your body's weight with your back. Therefore, when the spine is deformed and transformed into a C-shaped or straight line shape, the spine is burdened and causes various adult diseases such as stiff shoulder, low back pain and sciatica.

In this way, the health of the spine, which plays a pivotal role in the human body, is maintained, and the deformation of the spine caused by disasters and heredity, such as accidents including wrong posture, wrong lifestyle, wrong exercise, stress, traffic accident, etc. For treatment, various methods such as drug treatment, injection therapy, orthosis, chiropractic, physiotherapy, exercise therapy and surgical therapy are used. The method of chiropractic has the disadvantage that it can be performed only by a professionally trained person.

Therefore, devices for massaging the spine by acupressure or the like have been developed, and these devices are mostly configured to massage the spine using a vibration motor or acupressure wheel.
