NormaTec compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions. This new therapy has a multitude of uses, such as pain relief and muscle recovery. NormaTec is a type of pneumatic compression system—it inflates with air to put pressure on your arms or legs in a similar manner to how blood pressure cuffs work. The system is designed to improve circulation and therefore shorten recovery times, making it very useful for athletes and other active individuals.
 
NormaTec is at the forefront of recovery in the field of medicine, and is used internationally and at the highest levels of athleticism, such as with Olympic athletes; it is also incredibly popular among professional athletes and college sports athletes.
 
NormaTec uses dynamic intermittent compression, which is recommended for increasing the healing rate of wounds, especially in the presence of chronic non-healing wounds, severe venous stasis ulceration, or venous insufficiency. Pneumatic compression is typically employed as a continual treatment used in conjunction with conventional methods. Regular use of dynamic intermittent compression is also associated with a decrease in the rate of ulcer recurrence. Advanced pneumatic compression devices are able to reduce swelling and tissue pressure, improve circulation, and enhance venous and lymphatic return.

To expedite recovery, NormaTec employs three types of biomimicry:

– Pulsing — dynamic compression mobilizes fluid
– Gradient Hold — prevents fluid back-flow
– Distal Release — allows normal circulation
 
NormaTec compression therapy uses compressed air to massage your arms, legs, or hips. In a 20 to 30-minute session, the patented technology first molds to your body shape, then compress your feet, hands or upper quads, before working its way up the limb toward the body.

The massage pattern is also patented, and is based on years of research and human physiology. Like a traditional massage, it compresses in a pulsing manner and then releases, which improves circulation, reduces swelling, and shortens recovery times.

How often a person should use NormaTec compression therapy depends on a number of factors, including:

– The intended use (recovery, enhancement, etc.)
– The chronicity of the condition (for recovery)
– The goals of the patient
– The areas of focus
– Individual response to the treatment

In some cases, the recommendation for NormaTec therapy is to be used before and after exercise for 10 to 30 minutes. However, this is not always convenient, especially if traveling to a clinic to receive this type of therapy. Because each treatment is individualized to meet the unique needs of each patient, it is difficult to generalize when it comes to NormaTec therapy. Therefore, the only way to truly know how often you should use NormaTec is to schedule a consultation at a NormaTec clinic, such as AIM Chiropractic & Fitness.
