Massage pistols can relax muscles and even help to mobilise joints. But if you use it in the neck area in the usually manner, it often causes brain vibration and dizziness (and potentially more). This technique is a much safer alternative. So, whether you have a Bob and Brad massage gun, a hypervolt, hyperice, or a no-name cheapy massage gun, watch this video to find out how to use a massage gun on your neck safely.
IS USING A MASSAGE GUN ON YOUR NECK SAFE?
If you do it in the normal manner, no, it causes too much vibration in the brain and spinal cord. BUT if you use the technique that I show in this video, you can reduce that brain vibration significantly. The key is to reduce the percussion effect in the neck.

[@BodyFixExercises]

If you have had surgery on your neck you need to be even more careful. In your case you sound really check with your doctor first. You don't want to irritate the surgery site.

[@jeffallen3382]

@@BodyFixExercises I understand, that sounds reasonable. I've had my 4,5,6 and 7th vertebra fused together. I still have tremendous pain that radiates down my mainly left arm but I do get some down the right. In the last few weeks the pain has shifted and runs right up the spine to the base of my skull. That's when I got this hammer vibrato. The muscles get so tender to touch I was using this to loosen them up.

TY this video is great and hopefully, I can stop getting neck injections. My question is that, has to do with TMJ. Is there a way to use the Massage Gun (safely) on my jaw. Any thoughts, or idea how to proceed, with this?

[@BodyFixExercises]

You can use the gun sideways (only), like in this video, on the masseter muscle (see my TMJ pain video first this muscle). But very carefully! Jaw is very easily irritated!!!

Did this to my face and neck and ears now they been hurting as well as my jaw almost feels like a burning tension pain.should I be worried. Or should I go to the urgent care?

[@BodyFixExercises]

Depends on how bad it is. As long as you didn't do it at the front of your neck you should be alright. Mostly it'll just inflame things and make them sore. A cold pack for 10 minutes should help. (If you have dizziness (or breathing difficulties if you did it at the front of the neck) get it checked out asap.)

Can someone tells me what happens if I use the massage gun in the front of my neck? My neck hurts after I did it yesterday without thinking

[@BodyFixExercises]

The most likely is that you just irritated soft tissue structures, but if it's more than mildly painful, or doesn't settle down, get a checkup with your doctor.

My husband has a constant headache since past few weeks. It might have started right after he used a flat headed powerful massage gun at the nape of his neck. His symptoms are - constant headache that starts right after waking up, throbbing headache when he walks or does some movements with his body, he has no issue with moving neck or head, but he just had headache during those movements, and lastly, this pain originates at the right side of the nape of his neck and then his entire head aches, not just one portion. he feels a little better when lying down. He has tried muscle relaxant and nerve relaxant pain killers based on doctors recommendations, and they sometimes work and sometimes don't. It's been 7 weeks but his headache just doesn't stop. What could it be?

[@BodyFixExercises]

I can't tell without examining him sorry. He needs direct professional advice
