Electric massagers: These are convenient because they are hands-free, but they also allow you to change pressure and speed.

If you're considering a physical therapist for massage therapy, like percussive massage, a massage gun may be your best neck massager. According to Olufade, it’s best to start on the lowest setting when you first begin using your neck massager and slowly ramp it up.

To adjust the strength of the massage, you have to adjust your level of pull on the handles,” explained one of our testers.We love that this massage gun comes with six massage heads you can use to target different areas of your neck and upper back, such as the traps and shoulders.

It’s also worth noting that massage is generally not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy because it can cause dizziness or worsen morning sickness. If an electric massager causes your pain to worsen, stop using it and reach out to a healthcare professional.It is very easy to create fascial or cutaneous nerve damage if you use excessive pressure or excessive time under pressure. Details: This TENS device is battery operated and sends small, electrical impulses to the body through electrodes implanted in adhesive pads. Don’t avoid seeing a doctor or chiropractor if your pain becomes worse over time or affects your ability to complete daily tasks. We tested 29 neck massagers—from manual canes and roller balls to heated Shiatsu pillows—in the Verywell Testing Lab and found seven that met our rigorous standards. One of our favorite features is the ability to change the direction of the massage nodes, which allows for an all-over, deep massage experience.

If you suffer from migraines, you know how important it is to relieve tension in your upper neck on a regular basis. It’s essential to know what to look for when purchasing a neck massager, not only for great results but—most importantly—to ensure your safety.

Keep in mind that everyday activities, like working on a computer or holding a phone up to your ear for long periods, can strain your neck and shoulders. Nonpharmacological treatments — or those that don’t involve medication — are preferred by most healthcare professionals, since acute back pain generally improves over time regardless of treatment.
