Normatec Compression in Truckee
Long hikes, powder days, long hours on your feet, or simply getting older can all leave your legs feeling heavy, tight, and sore. If swelling or fatigue slows you down, it can be frustrating to feel like your body can’t keep up with the lifestyle you love. Normatec compression therapy offers a simple, relaxing way to support circulation and speed recovery. At Elevation Chiropractic, we use this gentle technology to help you feel lighter, move easier, and get back to the activities that matter most.
What Is Normatec Compression?
Normatec is a comfortable, high-tech compression system that uses inflatable sleeves (often on the legs) to rhythmically massage and squeeze your muscles. This pulsing action helps move fluid out of tired or swollen areas and encourages fresh, oxygen-rich blood to flow back in. Sessions are done while you’re resting, fully clothed, in a reclined chair, so it’s easy on sensitive joints and ideal for many ages. Patients often describe it as a relaxing, “hugging” massage for their legs that leaves them feeling refreshed.
How Normatec Compression Can Help You
Normatec compression supports your body’s natural recovery so you can stay active with less stiffness and strain. It is especially helpful for:
- Leg and ankle swelling after activity or long periods of sitting
- Soreness and fatigue from skiing, hiking, running, or cycling
- Mild circulation issues that cause heaviness or discomfort
- Recovery after intense training for races or events
- General leg achiness in adults who want to stay mobile
Whether you’re training hard or just tired of sore, puffy legs at the end of the day, this therapy can be a simple way to feel better, faster.
What to Expect with Care
During your visit, Dr. Michael Colpitts will talk with you about your lifestyle, health history, and goals so your session is tailored to you. You’ll then slip into the Normatec boots, relax, and let the system cycle through waves of compression and release. Dr. Colpitts often combines Normatec with gentle chiropractic and SOT®, a low-force method that aligns the spine and pelvis and supports whole-body balance.
