I am going to give you some great info directly from the web site of the Kinesiology Tape that we use in our office. As a Chiropractor practicing in Costa Mesa for over 22 years, I have the expertise to determine if Kinesio Tape would help you and how to apply it to get the best results.
I actually heard a woman taking at the OC Fair this weekend about buying the tape herself and then just putting it on … as she “thought” it should be. If you have an injury using a treatment, but the correct treatment for the correction injury and applied to correct way…You will have better results and avoid further injury!
Here is some great info about the type of tape I use in my Costa Mesa office as a Chiropractor:
How does it work? The tape, made with hypoallergenic acrylic glue, is manufactured to be the same weight, thickness and elasticity as the skin and is therefore able to integrate with the body’s sensory system naturally. There are 3 possible categories of effect which have been identified depending on the method of application and the therapeutic outcome desired.
- Structurally
- Dynamically supports better postural positions.
- Prevent harmful ranges of motion without a hard end feel.
- Reduce strain on affected muscle.
- Neurologically
- Enhanced sensory stimulation leading to decreased perception of pain.
- Restoration of normal muscle activation and function.
- Reinforces the restoration of functional stability.
- Promotes peripheral neuroplasticity.
- Stimulation of the skin’s endogenous analgesic system.
- Microcirculatory
- Wave pattern formation.
- Superficial fascial thixotrophy.
- Improved lymphatic flow.
- Improved superficial microcirculatory flow.
The end result
- Easy to use with faster more efficient application times.
- Improved clinical skill sets for the progressive therapist.
- Improved clinical outcomes
- The patient is able to achieve early engagement in pain-free ranges of motion and strengthening exercises.
- The patient becomes an active participant in the therapeutic process.
- The patient is able to take the therapy home with them maintaining the treatment objectives between their treatments.
