Kinesio Tape

Kinesio Tape From Your Bettendorf Chiropractor

If you need injury prevention or injury recovery treatment, you’re likely seeing a doctor for your long-term pain. They may recommend resting the area and using prescription medication to ease your discomfort. However, when you try to get back into any form of athletics, the pain returns. This time, why not try a holistic treatment via a chiropractor in Bettendorf, IA? Kinesio Taping is one such treatment that can make a significant difference in pain levels.

Kinesio Tape

What Is Kinesio Tape?

Kinesio Tape is a treatment for athletes or anyone who enjoys physical activity. This is a holistic means of lessening pain that requires no medication. Instead, your chiropractor will apply the tape to the areas where chronic pain hurts the most.

This tape, which is made of elastic fibers and contains no latex, sticks to the skin. On the surface, it may not seem like it’s doing much, but beneath the skin, Kinesio Tape treats neurological, neuromuscular, and orthopedic pain by gently reducing soft tissue damage and keeping the joints and muscles in place for faster healing.

You can still move freely, and you don’t have to worry about replacing your Kinesio Tape for a few days. This treatment is like a physical therapy session in tape form.

How Does It Work?

So what makes Kinesio Tape different than any other form of tape? How can it aid in injury recovery? It all has to do with draining the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system can fill up with a lot of junk, so to speak, such as leaky blood vessels. To keep the lymph nodes free of this junk, physical activity is necessary. This triggers the muscles and keeps things moving through the lymphatic system.

Kinesio Taping triggers such a response without the need for physical activity. That makes this a great treatment option for injured athletes.  

What Are Its Benefits?

There are many benefits to Kinesio Taping. These include:

  • Can potentially prevent re-injury to the recovered area with regular use.
  • Can be worn in a variety of shapes and sizes to treat many areas throughout the body.
  • Since the user just wears the tape, they can also undergo chiropractic care, massage therapy, sports therapy, and many other treatments.
  • The joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, fascia, circulatory system, lymphatic system, and even the skin all improve physiologically.
  • This tape encourages better bodily circulation and treats inflammation and pain.
