Description

Cervical massager {APPARATUS FOR MASSAGING CERVICAL VERTEBRAE}

The present invention relates to a cervical massager, and more particularly, to a cervical massager capable of controlling strength while massaging the cervical spine in the vertical direction along the neckline of the back neck of the human body with a simple structure.

In general, massage promotes blood circulation of body organs by applying physical stimulation or compression to specific parts of the whole body or body, smoothes metabolism, relieves muscle tension, relieves physical and mental fatigue, and relieves fatigue. It is used by many people because it helps prevent disease, beauty, etc.

In particular, in recent years, with increasing interest in health, in order to relieve physical fatigue and stress, in general homes or offices, tap the legs and calf, neck and shoulders, spine and back parts, and waist, soles, or a variety of things such as handjob or acupressure. Massage therapy with massaging is popular, and as many people use it, many techniques for massaging have been proposed and commercialized.

On the other hand, the cervical vertebrae of the human body part refers to the upper part of the vertebrae, that is, the vertebrae in the cervical region of the human body. . Existing cervical diseases include cervical sprain, cervical intervertebral disc prolapse, cervical fracture, cervical spinal stenosis, posterior ligament osteochondrosis, and spinal tumor, among which common diseases are cervical sprain and cervical disc herniation.

A whiplash injury wraps around the neck muscles and cervical vertebrae when the surrounding muscles or ligaments supporting the cervical spine are abnormally tensioned or relaxed, or when the cervical vertebrae are overextended or overflexed by external forces, or are twisted or compressed by an axis. The muscles, ligaments, etc. are stretched or torn and swollen and have painful symptoms.

In addition, cervical disc prolapse (ruptured cervical disk), also called a neck disc, is a disease caused by degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc. As such, cervical disc herniation may occur due to trauma or chronic stimulation, and may occur degeneratively as aging progresses, or may occur acutely when a fixed state is maintained for a long time in an inappropriate posture in daily life.

In the case of cervical diseases, it is preferable to treat the stiffness or relaxation of the neck muscles using a physical therapy device that delivers physical stimulation. As described above, periodic and continuous treatment is possible using a massage device at home. .
