Normatec Compression Therapy
At Cornerstone Chiropractic Center, we offer Normatec Compression Therapy, an advanced recovery treatment that uses inflatable sleeves (boots for legs, sleeves for arms and hips) to apply rhythmic, sequential compression to the limbs.
This process mimics the body’s natural muscle-pumping action, helping move blood and lymphatic fluid from the extremities back toward the heart. Originally developed for medical use to prevent blood clots, compression therapy is now widely used by professional athletes, Olympic training facilities, and active individuals to enhance recovery and circulation.
By improving circulation and lymphatic flow, compression therapy helps flush metabolic waste, reduce swelling, and deliver fresh oxygen and nutrients to tired or overworked muscles—resulting in faster recovery and less soreness.

What to Expect?
During your session, you’ll relax comfortably while wearing Normatec compression sleeves on your legs, arms, or hips – depending on your needs.
The sleeves gently inflate and deflate in a sequential pattern, starting at the extremities and moving upward toward the core. The sensation feels like a deep, rhythmic massage – firm yet comfortable.
FAQ’s
Does compression therapy hurt? No. It feels like a controlled, rhythmic massage. Pressure levels can be adjusted for comfort.
Is compression therapy only for athletes? Not at all. Anyone looking to improve circulation, reduce soreness, or support recovery can benefit.
How does Normatec differ from compression socks? Normatec uses dynamic, air-powered compression that actively moves fluid through the limbs—far more effective than static compression socks or stockings.
