With a specific method of applying tape, chiropractors are providing drug free pain relief that lasts long after the patient has left the office. The practice, called kinesio taping, triggers the body's natural ability to heal itself. Specialized tape mimics the properties of skin in thickness and elasticity. Small pieces applied to an injured or overworked muscle or joint, provide enough pressure for support, along with a micro lift of the skin for the circulation of naturally healing blood and lymph fluid.
This newest of chiropractic techniques is one of the most effective non-surgical soft tissue treatments used today. It dates back to the 1970's in Japan, when Dr. Kenzo Kase saw the need for instant drug free pain relief and faster healing. This method has since been used all around the world. Kinesio Taping even played a role in the recent Olympics games, where athletes competed with the mysterious pieces of colored tape applied to their arms and legs.
This unique taping method, used alongside more common chiropractic techniques, is also a part of the treatment plan in offices of orthopedists, acupuncturists, and other medical professionals. Practitioners are certified by the kinesio tape Association after successful completion of three levels of coursework along with practical application.
The specialized elastic cotton tape provides both long-term and immediate drug free pain relief. Wearing the tape comfortably for several days, patients say they forget it's there. A well-received addition to chiropractic techniques, it has proven effective for many injuries including: neck, back, knee, shoulder, rotator cuff, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, ankle sprains, and post surgical swelling.
