Our Sports Recovery Services
In addition to Therapeutic Massage and Class IV Laser Therapy, your Greenville, SC chiropractors provide Normatec Recovery boots and Marc Pro.
Normatec Recovery boots
Normatec provides the removal of waste products that may help to reduce injury risk and the phenomenon of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Recovery boots provide benefits in terms of abating performance reduction following high-intensity exercise and reduce soreness shortly after exercise as well as 48 hours later.
Our 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 our systems, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments that mold 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.
Our Unique Sports Recovery Tool
At Carolina Active Health Chiropractic, we provide a unique recovery tool, the Marc Pro.
Marc Pro
The Marc Pro is an electrical muscle stimulation device (EMS device) that is used to improve your performance, speed up muscle recovery, and provide pain relief between workouts.
Dr. Michael Nelson and Dr. Kelsey Nelson understand the basis for post-exercise recovery is the normalization of tissue through the movement of nourishment and waste.
The tools provided by our Sports Recovery in Greenville, SC, are specifically designed to accelerate this process.
The Marc Pro muscle conditioning device creates unique, strong, but completely non-fatiguing muscle contractions that set off a cascading series of physiologic events.
The process begins with the activation of Nitric Oxide (NO), which dilates blood vessels and leads to increased flow delivering more oxygenated blood and nutrients to the area. The lymphatic and venous systems also require and benefit from localized muscle activity.
Because of this, using the Marc Pro after physical activity helps move the related waste and deoxygenated blood away from the fatigued area(s). This exchange of nourishment and waste, without stress or fatigue, accelerates the recovery of the muscle.
“Dr. Nelson has been seeing me for many years and has played a big role in keeping my professional running career running smoothly! I have worked with him since I was in college and he does excellent and thorough work and really cares about every patient he sees!”
