For natural body healing, Kinesiology tape is a fantastic way to go. This tape was invented in 1979 by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a chiropractor as well as an acupuncturist. The Kinesio tape functions by holding certain facets of the body in place while also encouraging a full range of movement.
The tape is latex-free, has medical-grade adhesive, and is made of fully elastic cotton fiber. These traits make it open for a wide range of users, including everything from geriatric to pediatric patients.
Kinesiology tape can and should only be taped by your local Rochelle chiropractor. Unique expertise is required to navigate the Y and X taping methodologies depending on where we need to place the Kinesiology tape to provide maximum support and relief.
The benefits of Kinesio taping are vast, and many people see quick results. That is why many athletes use Kinesio taping to prevent injury since the tape has retraction functionality while allowing the full range of motion.
Since the tape was primarily invented for chiropractic use, it is always essential to accompany the taping with complimentary procedures, such as spinal manipulation and chiropractic massage. Holding off pain from injuries is also a reason to use the tape for any individual who is in pain. The traction created by the tape works wonders in keeping ligaments in place. Taping also keeps painkillers at bay, which means that you don't have to deal with different side effects from those medications anymore.
Motion is not limited with Kinesiology tape due to its elasticity. That being the case, the natural process of repair and healing is activated, which is preferred over regular painkiller usage.
