What is kinesiology tape?

Kinesiology tape was invented by a chiropractor in the 1970s, designed to support your joints and muscles to improve healing and function. The elastic fabric tape moves with you, while also decompressing the tissue and improving blood flow. The many brands of kinesiology tape that are available differ in elasticity, price, and adhesiveness, and the tape is waterproof.

How do Shorewood WI chiropractors use it?

Taping is used to support your chiropractic care for many reasons. Your chiropractor may use it to reduce swelling, reduce pain, or improve muscle and postural awareness. The design of the tape allows for full movement of the area while adding stability to the joint. Athletic tape in comparison, is rigid to give the most support to an area.
