Kinesiotaping

At Premier Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer Kinesiotaping in Manhattan, to help patients of all ages achieve these benefits with professional assistance.

What Is Kinesio Taping?

The Kinesio taping method is something utilized by chiropractors to rehabilitate the muscles and joints, particularly after injuries. The latex-free tape is used to support muscles and joints to facilitate movement, alleviate pain, and make it easier for patients of all ages to return to their normal activities.

Individuals are often confused about how taping is effective, but it focuses on targeting elements of the somatosensory system. It restricts muscular movement to avoid aggravating pre existing injuries or tension and can treat a broad range of orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological, and other medical conditions.

How Does It Reduce Pain?

The main purpose of the tape is to stop muscles from loosening or slipping, particularly after they have experienced an injury, which causes them to stress. Kinesio taping also alleviates pain by eliminating pressure on the muscles and joints. Many athletes wear the tape when exercising and practicing before they compete, while regular individuals can wear it during the day to make activities easier.

Another benefit is the tape can increase available space in a joint while improving blood flow. Both of these features will increase and improve flexibility, even in patients struggling with chronic injuries.

Who Can Receive It?

Our professionals at Premier Chiropractic & Wellness enjoy using the taping method because it does not have an age or mobility limit. It is an optional treatment available to all patients, whether they be pediatric, geriatric, or an adult experiencing crippling pain or discomfort.

You do not need to be referred to us by a physician or physical therapist to receive treatment.
