Pneumatic Compressions in Westminster, CA

Patients from Westminster, including those near the Little Saigon business district on Bolsa Ave, make the trip about 32 minutes from Westminster via I-405 / CA-22 interchange for pneumatic compressions. We would rather you know what we can and cannot fix on visit one than sell you a 20-visit package you do not need.

Pneumatic Compressions is not a miracle. It helps when the problem is mechanical. If you have a red flag (new bowel or bladder changes, fever with back pain, unexplained weight loss, or weakness that is getting worse), we will not adjust first and ask later. Westminster patients get the same screening as everyone else.

How it works

Inside a pneumatic compressions session.

01

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.

02

Sequential inflation

Chambers inflate from the extremity upward, mimicking the body’s natural venous return.

03

Clear and refresh

Rhythmic pressure moves lymph and used blood out, and fresh oxygenated blood in as pressure releases.

04

Rest and repeat

Most patients close their eyes and enjoy it. It pairs perfectly with red light or PEMF running at the same time.
