Pneumatic Compressions in San Clemente, CA
For San Clemente residents near the Pier Bowl district, pneumatic compressions at Aligned Health means hands-on care, not a rushed appointment. Our office is about 20 minutes from San Clemente via I-5 at Avenida Pico. Most PPO plans are accepted.
We pair pneumatic compressions with whatever else the tissue actually needs — percussion, decompression, scraping, red light — so a San Clemente patient is not sent across town for a second stop. That only works because all 14 services live in the same Laguna Hills suite.
How it works
Inside a pneumatic compressions session.
Slip on the sleeves
You settle into a recliner as we wrap the sleeves around your legs (or arms) and connect them to the pump.
Sequential inflation
Chambers inflate from the extremity upward, mimicking the body’s natural venous return.
Clear and refresh
Rhythmic pressure moves lymph and used blood out, and fresh oxygenated blood in as pressure releases.
Rest and repeat
Most patients close their eyes and enjoy it. It pairs perfectly with red light or PEMF running at the same time.

Questions from local patients
San Clemente FAQs.
Can I combine pneumatic compressions with other services in one visit?
Yes. Most San Clemente patients pair pneumatic compressions with one or two other modalities in the same appointment, so the about 20 minutes from San Clemente via I-5 at Avenida Pico trip covers more ground.
Will my PPO cover pneumatic compressions if I live in San Clemente?
Often yes, when it is medically necessary. We verify Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield of CA, United, Cigna, and Meritain before the first visit. Call (949) 557-7208 from San Clemente and we will tell you the copay before you get in the car.
What should I wear to pneumatic compressions if I am driving from San Clemente?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from the Pier Bowl district, give yourself a few extra minutes on I-5 at Avenida Pico at rush hour.
Is Pneumatic Compressions the right next step if I live in San Clemente?
Pneumatic compression uses inflatable sleeves, usually on the legs, sometimes on the arms or hips, that inflate and deflate in a programmed sequence. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
Is this like Normatec?
Same category of therapy, sequential air compression. We’ve chosen the specific equipment that works best in our office setting.
How often should I do it?
For general recovery, once a week is a good baseline. Athletes in high-volume blocks often do 2-3 sessions per week.
