THE EFFECT OF THE FITGUN MASSAGE GUN FOR NECK PAIN

How does the FitGun help with neck pain?

Many people suffer from neck pain .

Whether it's due to an incorrect sleeping position, hard work or simply genetics, everyone feels the same pain. Naturally, you immediately ask yourself what you can do about it.

First, we will list how neck pain occurs so that you can get an idea of where the pain comes from.

Neck pain can occur for a variety of reasons, and its causes can be varied. Here are some common factors that can cause neck pain:

Poor posture : Poor posture, whether at work, while sleeping or while standing, can lead to tension in the neck muscles.
Muscle tension: Stress, overload, prolonged sitting or unusual strain can lead to muscle tension in the neck area.
Injuries: Neck pain can also be caused by injuries such as whiplash, falls or accidents.
Age-related/degenerative changes: As we age, degenerative changes can occur in the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, which can lead to neck pain such as degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis.
Herniated disc: If a herniated disc in the neck presses on the surrounding nerves, it can cause severe neck pain that can also radiate into the arm.
Inflammation: Inflammatory diseases such as cervical spondylitis or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to neck pain.
Overuse: Repetitive movements or strenuous physical activities, especially if they are unfamiliar, can trigger neck pain.
Stress and psychological strain: Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety or depression can lead to muscle tension and neck pain.

As listed, the causes are very variable. Of course, neck tension or general neck pain can also be chronic or caused by an unfavorable sleeping position.

The topic of "treatment" obviously plays the most important role, because nobody wants to suffer through pain. However, not every treatment is the best for everyone, which is why we list several treatment options below.

Treatment for neck pain depends on the underlying cause and severity of the discomfort. Here are some common treatment options:

Rest and relaxation: In cases of acute neck pain, it can be helpful to temporarily rest the neck and avoid any overly strenuous activities.
Heat and cold therapy: The application of heat, e.g. through warm compresses or a hot bath, can promote blood circulation and relieve tension. The application of cold, e.g. with ice packs, can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. It is advisable to alternate between the two methods and try out what works best in each individual case.
Painkillers: Medications such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can temporarily relieve pain and inflammation, but it is important to follow dosage recommendations and consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
Physical therapy: A physical therapist can recommend exercises and techniques to strengthen neck muscles, improve mobility and relieve tension.
Massages: Professional massages can improve blood circulation and relax the neck muscles. Alternatively, you can purchase a high-quality massage device to save yourself the hassle of going to the masseur.
Stretching exercises: Regularly stretching the neck muscles can prevent and relieve tension. Care should be taken not to make sudden movements that could increase the pain.
Ergonomic adjustments: Ergonomic factors must be considered at work and at home to promote healthy posture and minimize neck strain. Various solutions can be considered, such as an adjustable desk or a different chair with neck support.
Stress management: Relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce stress and tension.
Sleeping position: An ergonomic sleeping position with appropriate head and neck support can prevent or relieve neck pain.
Treating the underlying condition : If the neck pain is caused by a specific underlying condition, it is important to treat that condition specifically.

Now the question arises as to how the Fitgun helps against neck pain .

The Fitgun massage gun is a portable device that provides a type of vibration massage known as "tap therapy" or "deep tissue massage." It is a popular way of self-massage that is often used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and people with muscle tension and pain. Fitgun massage guns can also help relieve neck pain by working in a number of ways:

Muscle relaxation: The massage gun can be aimed at the corresponding muscles in the neck area. The oscillations and vibrations help to relieve muscle tension and improve blood circulation. This can accelerate muscle relaxation and pain relief.
Increased blood circulation: Massage with Fitgun can increase blood circulation in the treated areas. The improved blood circulation supplies the muscles with more oxygen and nutrients while promoting the removal of waste products. This can help reduce inflammation and promote the healing process.
Nerve Calming: Some neck pain conditions can involve nerves being affected by tension or irritation. The Fitgun's vibration massage can help calm nerves and reduce potential nerve compression.
Release of endorphins: Massage can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. This can help temporarily reduce pain and create a feeling of relaxation and well-being.

Trigger point treatment: The Fitgun can be used to specifically treat trigger points in the cervical spine area. Trigger points are painful, localized hardenings in the muscles that are often caused by tension. Vibration massage can help to release these trigger points and relieve pain.
Flexibility and mobility: When you have neck pain, mobility is often limited. Using the Fitgun can loosen and stretch the muscles, which leads to improved mobility in the neck area.
Relaxation and stress relief: A massage with the Fitgun can be relaxing not only physically but also mentally. Stress and tension can contribute to neck pain and a massage can help relieve these stressors and promote overall relaxation.
Self-treatment: The Fitgun allows for self-massage, giving you control over the massage intensity and the area you want to treat. This allows you to tailor the massage to your needs and pain sensitivity.
Quick to use: The Fitgun massage gun is easy to use and can be used quickly. This is especially useful when you are on the go or do not have the opportunity to visit a masseur or therapist.
Long-term pain relief: Regular use of the Fitgun in combination with other treatment methods can help strengthen the muscles in the neck area and prevent tension. Strengthened muscles can reduce or prevent neck pain in the long term.

With the massage finger and massage pen, the Fitgun offers the ideal attachments for treating neck pain or neck tension.

The massage pen is suitable for sensitive pain points.

The massage finger is suitable for specific pain points.

Both attachments increase the intensive treatment scope in the neck area.

This means that you can use massage guns to treat any pain points without having to pay a lot for physiotherapists or masseurs.
