Such things can usually only be used on the advice of a doctor. The applicator causes blood flow and relaxes muscles. And with osteochondrosis it’s a little different. Usually these things relieve muscle pain and pinching. The doctor prescribed it for my husband, explained how to use it correctly, how long to lie down. If the condition worsens, stop using it and consult a neurologist, this is the doctor for depression.
I have a pinched nerve, I lie on these needles in the evenings, to no avail(
I’ve been using it for 10 years now, I even fall asleep on it. The doctor prescribed it for me. Then I got used to it and used it during pregnancy on the lumbosacral region. My husband sprained his back at the dacha - I immediately put him on pins and needles - everything is great, 4 days and everything went away. if your head hurts, also apply under the neck or the back of the head, but the back of the head hurts. In general, I take it with me everywhere, it’s a thing! and just for fun I lie on my back from neck to butt.

Oh, but it shouldn't get any worse! When my husband was lying down, he got high after it.
Try lying down for 1 minute first. 5-10 is too much if the case is advanced. When using the applicator, the blood supply increases sharply, and all manifestations of the disease become aggravated. If there are no negative feelings, gradually increase the time.

I have been using the applicator for a short time, about 1.5 months. Super! Really like. At first it was very painful to lie down, I couldn’t stand it even for a minute, but now I fall asleep on it, feeling the warmth spreading. I do the procedure at night and sleep great.

I have been using the applicator for more than 15 years, I had problems with my back, the first time my blood pressure rose, I took a break and started with short periods of time. It helps a lot, relieves fatigue from the muscles, and the legs obey better (stenosis, pinched nerves)
I also use the applicator, I like it, the feeling after it is cheerfulness, lightness, but after a while the condition is the same)) But no one said that in 1-2 times there will be a complete recovery)) Lightness sets in, but to remove the symptoms, especially chronic, I think you need to use it systematically.. I just started using it systematically by standing on it with both feet. It hurts, of course, but this is how I decided to treat my legs, which are swollen, numb, in a word, they hurt.. I don’t know, I still feel temporary improvement, then everything returns to its original position .. but I think that if you persistently use it like this for 10-15 days, then you can treat not only your legs, but also other organs, because it is known that in our stupid areas there are different points that are associated with each of our organs..)) But this is my personal experiment.. I don’t encourage anyone.)) Because I concluded that treatment with pills and injections is not a cure, but just temporary relief. I’m thinking of starting treatment with some more natural and folk remedies: influencing the points of the feet, contrast baths, herbs, etc.

I watched a program where Kuznetsov himself told how to use the applicator. You need to press hard (to the point of patience) the problem area, but only for 30 seconds. And so there are several approaches. I tried it myself - there is an effect. You can, of course, just lie down or stand, but this is for general tone.

I have medium-sized hernias in my spine and upon first use (prescribed morning and evening for 40 minutes), the pain went away for 5 minutes, but then it became impossible to lie down. The pain is unbearable. My legs started to go numb as I used it. I have never experienced such a rapid loss of sensitivity before. It only makes it worse. And afterwards my back hurts unbearably, my legs remain numb for a long time. So who cares
good stuff, but it seems to me that its needles are sharp. I fight my cellulite with Relaxmat, it doesn’t hurt the skin at all
Kuznetsov created an applicator, not an applicator. In our family, everyone has their own rug, we use it and love it very much! The back is purple, like after a quality massage! Super!

Description
Kuznetsov’s rug is an alternative medicine product created at the intersection of reflexology and acupuncture. It is a fabric mat, belt or roller with sewn plastic needle elements. The first applicators were equipped with metal needles and their impact was stronger and more painful. Today, a number of modifications of the massager are produced. Choose the most suitable option:
The devices also vary in size and color.
Dimensions: 5x18, 6x18, 10.5x23 and 12x47. The last size is considered the most convenient; use it as a massager for various areas of the body.
Colors rug will help determine the level of sharpness of the model’s spikes:
- green with mild thorns - intended for those who are just starting exercises and people with a low pain threshold;
- blue with pointed spikes, advanced level, needles have a strong effect on the skin, but the effect is higher;
- yellow with magnetic inserts that enhance the massage effect;
- orange, or yoga mat.
The use of a massager with metal or plastic needle modules, with or without magnets, is designed to help:
- improve blood circulation;
- restore joint mobility;
- eliminate headaches;
- reduce fat deposits by increasing blood microcirculation;
- increase skin elasticity;
- increase sexual activity.
Benefits and harms, myths and reality
Despite the fact that the massager was invented back in the 1980s and the peak of its popularity has already passed, experts still do not agree on the benefits and harms of Kuznetsov’s applicator. Reviews from doctors about the use of the applicator are varied.
Reviews from doctors
Experts note: Kuznetsov’s invention gives a certain effect in complex therapy as one of the means of stimulating reflexes. Improvements are especially noticeable after a course of use of the applicator in patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
An excellent and highly effective way to treat a host of diseases and ailments and improve vitality. But, to be honest, I don’t quite agree that the needles must be metal. Irritation from plastic needles is no worse..
An ambiguous device, not suitable for all patients, the degree of impact depends on the degree of suggestibility of the patient..
It has the right to be used as one of the auxiliary methods of restorative and relaxation therapy..
Real user reviews
The device is very popular and there are many reviews about its use. In general, they are positive, although most patients report pain after the first massage sessions.
I sometimes lie on the iplicator during an exacerbation of lumbar osteochondrosis, when I don’t want to take pills and rub in ointments. Of course, the applicator does not heal, but it “distracts” for a while, improving blood circulation..
Inexpensive, helps with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and excess weight. It takes some getting used to, the first uses may seem very painful. Convenient to lay on the mat and secure anywhere..
I've been using the applicator for a long time. I don’t know how effective it is, but it really helps me relax. I even fall asleep on it! I used the regular plastic one, but recently I used the magnetic one and began to notice unpleasant consequences, I think it caused dizziness. Benefit and harm at once..
5 facts you should know
