Compression therapy has been around for decades as a medical treatment. In fact, NormaTec Compression, on of the biggest compression therapy names in the market – started as a medical device company to treat a condition called Lymphedema (chronic swelling). The roots of NormaTec Compression lie in the science of blood flow: Your circulatory system delivers oxygen, nutrients and hormones to every cell in your body. Simultaneously, this complex circuit removes metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid, effectively flushing your system of toxins. The idea behind compression therapy is that by increasing blood flow to specific parts of the body – encouraging your body to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to those areas – you can speed up recovery, relieve pain and improve athletic performance.
NormaTec Compression therapy offered at Body Care Spine & Nerve Center is now the compression therapy elite athletes love. Who would benefit from compression therapy?
