Inside Kinesio Tape

Back Pain

Advantages of Kinesio Tape in combination with Chiropractic

1. Pain Relief – reduced pressure on pain receptors under the skin can provide relief of either acute or chronic pain. This is especially effective for pain from a “hot” injury, where the intensity of the pain is out of proportion to the severity of the injury.

2. Reduced Swelling and Inflammation – reduced pressure on the lymphatic drainage channels allows better removal of fluids and other materials that collect in an injured area. This applies not only to sports injuries, but to other inflammatory conditions, including lymphodema (severe swelling of the extremities.)

3. Prevents and/or Relieves Spasms and Cramping – the same features that reduce inflammation can help prevent or relieve spasms and cramps in overused or injured muscles.

4. Speedier Recovery of Overused Muscles – fatigued, overused muscles contain byproducts of exercise (such as lactic acid) that contribute to pain and stiffness and limit the ability to continue exercising. When kinesiology tape is used over these areas, enhanced removal of these byproducts allows for more rapid recovery. This could translate into improved performance in an endurance event or more complete recovery between repetitive, high intensity events.

5. Provides Support without Restricting Range of Motion – the unique elastic properties of kinesiology tape allow it to provide support to an injured muscle or joint without restricting range of  motion .

6. Allows Athletes to Remain Active while Injured – this is one of the most important benefits of kinesiology tape for competitive athletes. Applied properly, kinesiology tape can prevent either overstretching or over-contraction of injured muscles. Except in the case of severe injuries, this can allow athletes to continue training and/or competing as their injuries heal.

7. Enhances Strength and Muscle Tone in Weak or Poorly-Toned Muscles – certain neurological or muscular disorders can make muscles so weak that it is almost impossible to do the exercises that are critical to improve daily functioning. Kinesiology tape not only provides support to these muscles, but it can also improve muscle activation, allowing therapeutic exercises to be carried out more effectively. One of the major uses in this category is with infants and young children with hypotonia, poor muscle tone that limits their ability to learn to sit up, crawl, etc.
