Cervical Acupressure Device

The present invention relates to a cervical acupressure device for acupressure and correction of the cervical spine, and in particular, while designing the neck rest portion where the back of the neck is seated at the same time, while allowing the entire back of the neck to be uniformly acupressure, each joint of the cervical spine It relates to a cervical cervical acupressure apparatus that allows the pressure manipulation to pressurize the site together with the exercise manipulation to bend or straighten to the physiological limit of exercise.

In general, acupressure is a hand therapy that corrects the alteration of the living body by pressing a certain part of the body surface with the thumb and the palm, and promotes health or treatment of diseases, and presses the surface of the body with the palm or the thumb. Manipulation and exercise manipulation to bend or straighten each joint of the body to the limit of physiological exercise.

Particularly, the neck part of the body is an important connecting passage and circulation circuit connecting the head and the body. The neck is passed through numerous nerves connected to the head, and the cervical spine becomes a straight neck or the neck disc protrudes and the nerve bundle is suppressed. Of course, neurological function may be impaired.

This cervical spine deforms due to poor posture in sleeping posture and work or learning. For example, cervical spine if the posture is not correct when working on a computer, which is a necessity for modern people, and when students are sitting in a chair for a long time. Some studies have reported that over 90% of modern people have abnormal neck curves.

However, about 90% of patients with neck discs do not undergo surgery and are recovered by treatment such as acupressure, which is one of the natural therapies.

However, acupressure is literally a therapy that puts pressure or parts of the body by putting strength or weight using fingers, so if a long time acupressure is repeatedly performed, the operator will not only feel fatigue but also cause pain in the finger, which makes it difficult for the procedure. There is a problem to feel.
