If you deal with a fair amount of edema (swelling) in the aftermath of injuries, you are a good candidate for NormaTec therapy. Spring Chiropractic in Spring, TX, is pleased to offer NormaTec compression therapy to our patients. Many people find it a more comfortable option to treat swelling and pain than traditional methods of cryotherapy. Here’s what you need to know about our NormaTec treatment and how it can help you.
What Is NormaTec?
NormaTec is a treatment tool that is highly prized by coaches, athletes, trainers, and more because of its promise of rapid recovery from injuries that often require far lengthier rehabilitation periods. It works by pulsating so that muscles move in a manner that promotes fluid circulation and removal to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation in targeted treatment areas.
What Types of Injuries Does NormaTec Address?
NormaTec compression therapies address a variety of needs, but are especially useful for aiding in recovery from the following types of injuries:
- ACL replacements.
- Hip and knee replacements.
- Joint, tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries.
Not only does the machine help promote blood flow to affected areas of the body, but it also works to promote the regrowth of tissues in targeted areas, which work together to promote faster healing.
Why Is NormaTec Therapy So Effective?
Unlike other treatment tools, the NormaTec compression sleeve inflates to fit your body perfectly. It is, essentially, a custom-made treatment method that works to address your specific injuries. Of course, there is the added benefit that it simply feels good. It’s as if the targeted treatment area is getting a full massage for the duration of the treatment. The type of massage that helps your body heal itself long after the treatment ends with improved circulation and pain relief.
Is NormaTec Treatment Right for You?
Because every injury is unique, we work with you to identify whether or not NormaTec is a viable treatment option for your specific injuries based on how effective it can be for helping you get back in the game of your daily life. Not everyone will enjoy the same benefit from treatment. Others may benefit from a combination of cryotherapy and NormaTec therapy.
