Kinesio Taping
West Niagara Chiropractic and Wellness Centre - Kinesio Taping
Our clinic is dedicated to providing you with a holistic approach to health and wellness. We offer a variety of services, including Kinesio Taping, which is an effective way to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Kinesio tapping is a therapeutic taping technique that has been used for decades by physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals. It is designed to provide support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the range of motion. The tape is made from a flexible cotton material that stretches up to 140% of its original length. This allows it to move with the body while still providing support where needed.
This is a certified Technique that Dr. Varsalona uses on many of his patients and athletes. The taping method allows the body and muscles to move while it assists in rehabilitation.
Kinesio taping is used to reduce pain and inflammation, relax tired muscles, and support muscles in movement. This type of taping is NOT restrictive in any way and allows for the full range of motion of a joint and muscle. In contrast, traditional sports taping is wrapped around the joint strictly for stabilization and support during a sporting event.
Kinesio Tape can be used for many different conditions such as muscle strains, joint sprains, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder impingement syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and more. It can also be used for postural correction and lymphatic drainage. The tape works by lifting the skin slightly away from the underlying tissue which helps reduce inflammation and swelling while improving circulation in the affected area. This helps promote healing by increasing oxygen flow to the injured area.
At West Niagara Chiropractic & Wellness Centre we are committed to providing our patients with the best care possible. Our experienced team of chiropractors will assess your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan that includes Kinesio Taping if appropriate for your needs. We understand how important it is for you to get back on your feet quickly so we strive to provide fast relief from pain while helping you regain full mobility as soon as possible.
