NormaTec is the leader in rapid recovery—our systems give a competitive edge to the world’s elite athletes, coaches, and trainers. The goal of NormaTec is to establish recovery as an integral part of every athlete’s training. The NormaTec PULSE Recovery Systems are dynamic compression devices designed for recovery and rehab. The NormaTec system use their patented PULSE technology to help athletes recover faster between trainings and after performance.

NormaTec is championed by elite athletes but is beneficial for active people at all levels.

NormaTec systems include a control unit and attachments which go on the legs, arms, or hips. They use compressed air to massage your limbs, mobilize fluid, and speed recovery with our patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern. When you use the system, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on which attachment you are using). Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb.

The NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern starts in the foot, hand, or lower hip and moves upwards zone-by-zone massaging the limb and mobilizing fluid out of the extremities.

Created by a physician bioengineer (MD, PhD) to enhance blood flow and speed recovery, NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern employs three key techniques to maximize your recovery:

PULSING: Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing). Our patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.

GRADIENTS: Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because of this enhancement, instead of tapering pressure off, the PULSE and PULSE PRO can deliver maximum pressure in every zone.

DISTAL RELEASE: Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.

Do you remember that song you sing/sang with your kids “the ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone, the leg bone’s connected to the knee bone and so on all the way to the head?” Well, it’s not just a made up song only the bone names are fiction.

The reality is our body is intricately connected in many ways: nerves, ligaments, bones, organs, and the lists goes on. Chiropractic is founded on the basis of the kinetic chain; that a properly aligned spinal column will allow for the optimum performance of the body.

At CHAMP Chiropractic I focus on all elements within the kinetic chain. Some chiropractors choose to focus solely on the spine and hips; however, I treat beyond the spine. In fact I have some patients whose treatment plan doesn’t include traditional adjustments.

When looking at the kinetic chain as it applies to the feet and plantar fasciitis, it is important to look at the tension of the achilles tendon, the activity of the calf muscles, and the stability of the mortise-talise joint in the ankle. What people often fail to realize is that injury or pain in the plantar fascia is due to an imbalance of one of the other associated areas and solely focusing on treating the fascia will only give temporary relief.

When assessing the kinetic chain as it applies to the knees it is important to look above and below the point with pain.  When looking at the knees it is necessary to consider the calves, ankle stability, glutes, tensor fascia Latae, IT band, si joint mobility, and the quadricep muscles.

A large majority of my patients are active adults and student athletes. I constantly asses gate and use orthopedic tests to determine the root cause of pain or injury. This is helpful in prevention as well as rehabilitation.

Have you been ignoring pain or pushing through? Let’s set up a time to discuss your symptoms and a potential treatment plan. I want you to feel your best and avoid injury. At CHAMP Chiropractic I offer FREE CONSULTATIONS. There is no hidden cost or obligation.

I want you to feel comfortable and confident that chiropractic care with me as your doctor is the best choice. I accept most major insurance plans, and I offer competitive pricing for patients without chiropractic insurance or those choosing up front
not to use their insurance. We can also accept HSAs.
