Muscles do so much than just helping our bodies move: proper muscular function also affects blood circulation, lymph flows, the maintenance of adequate body temperature, and so much more. If your total wellness care could benefit from more than spinal manipulation because it’s your muscles that need the help and not your bones, your chiropractor can assess whether you are a good candidate for Kenosio Taping treatment: here’s an overview.

What Makes Kenosio Taping Different From Other Types of Taping?

When people think of muscle taping, the usual image that comes to mind is that of an athlete having his ankle or other body part tightly wrapped in order to stabilize the area through the obstruction of fluid flow. Kenosio taping doesn’t obstruct: rather, it allows for the normal and natural movement of bodily fluids to continue while offering much-needed support, which is a much healthier alternative.

How Does it Work?

Kenosio tape is made of elastic therapeutic materials that are applied in strips on top of, above, or below targeted muscle groups. When muscle damage is present, the tape will offer support with very limited constriction, allowing you to proceed with your normal activities while allowing your muscles to heal naturally.

How Does Kenosio Tape Help?

There are a wide range of applications for Kenosio Tape, and your chiropractor uses it to help patients who suffer from everything from headaches to carpel tunnel. Some of the over conditions that can be treated with Kenosio Taping techniques include:

–lower back pain or strain
–chronic knee and shoulder problems
–tennis elbow
–whiplash
–pre- or post-surgery treatments, and much, much more

If you are looking for non-invasive pain relief and more natural methods for healing, ask your chiropractor if Kenosio Taping can help you.
