At The Chiropractic Health Centre we use top quality kinesio tape to treat a virtually limitless number of ailments and injuries. Whether you are taping for chronic pain or to reduce the swelling of a new injury, the versatility of kinesio tape makes it effective for nearly any mechanical, musculoskeletal treatment. Lymphatic fluid builds up, increasing pressure and therefore pain. Kinesio tape relieves pain by reducing tissue pressure and, when applied correctly, provides mechanical support to muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. Whether you are training to climb Everest, recovering from an injury or just getting through the day, kinesio tape can optimize your health and improve your performance. Core stabilization is often an important management strategy when treating low back pain.
