Experience pain relief, enhanced recovery, and improved performance with our versatile and supportive Kinesiology Taping.
If you watch sports, you have undoubtedly seen athletes with various parts of their bodies wrapped in tape. This is not flair – it’s Kinesiology Taping (K-Taping). Athletic trainers apply K-Tape to athletes to protect muscles, reduce inflammation, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce pain, and improve sensory awareness by stimulating nerve fibers in the skin.

Kinesiology Taping
Frequently Asked Questions
Kinesiology tape is a flexible adhesive tape used to support muscles and joints while allowing a full range of motion. It can aid in pain relief, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. For example, applying kinesiology tape for knee pain can provide support to the muscles around the knee, helping to stabilize the joint and alleviate discomfort during movement. Proper application is crucial, following specific techniques tailored to each area of pain to maximize effectiveness and comfort. It is advisable to consult with your local HealthSource Chiropractic for methods you can use for your specific condition.
Kinesiology tape and athletic tape differ in purpose, application, and flexibility. Kinesiology tape is elastic and supports muscles and joints while allowing a full range of motion. It is used for therapeutic purposes, aiding in injury recovery, improving circulation, and reducing pain and inflammation. In contrast, athletic tape is non-elastic and provides rigid support to restrict movement and prevent injuries. It is commonly used to stabilize joints, like ankles and wrists, during sports to prevent further damage.
For most of our patients, kinesiology tape is comfortable and does not cause pain. When applied correctly by your local HealthSource chiropractor, this durable, elastic tape is breathable and able to be worn for several days. Skin sensitivities are always possible, so be sure to remove the tape and consult your chiropractor if you experience redness or inflammation after use.
Kinesio tape techniques encompass a variety of methods tailored to specific needs. These techniques include muscle support for enhancing performance, ligament/tendon support to prevent injuries, space correction to improve circulation and reduce swelling, mechanical correction for proper alignment and movement, fascia correction for pain relief and flexibility, and lymphatic correction for reducing swelling and managing edema. Each application technique serves a unique purpose in supporting the body and aiding in recovery.
