Chiropractic Family Wellness Center - Kinesio Taping

At Chiropractic Family Wellness Center, we know how frustrating it can be to deal with neck and shoulder tension. Whether it's from poor posture, stress, or repetitive movements, these areas can easily become tight and uncomfortable, affecting your daily life. That's why we offer a solution that can bring quick and effective relief—Kinesio Taping.

What is Kinesio Taping?

Kinesio Taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying specialized elastic tape to the skin in specific patterns to alleviate pain and support muscles and joints. Unlike traditional taping methods, Kinesio Tape allows for a greater range of motion while providing support, making it ideal for treating tension in the neck and shoulders.

How Does Kinesio Taping Help Neck and Shoulder Tension?

Improves Blood Circulation: Kinesio Tape lifts the skin slightly, creating space between the skin and underlying tissues. This helps improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and inflammation in the neck and shoulders.

Reduces Pain: The tape helps to reduce pressure on pain receptors, easing discomfort in tight or sore muscles. This can be especially beneficial if you're suffering from chronic tension or pain due to poor posture or long hours at the desk.

Supports Muscles and Joints: Kinesio Tape provides gentle support to the muscles and joints without restricting movement. Whether you're dealing with a muscle strain or tension buildup, the tape can help your body maintain proper alignment while allowing you to move freely.

Encourages Proper Posture: If poor posture is contributing to your neck and shoulder discomfort, kinesio taping can serve as a helpful reminder to sit and stand upright, further alleviating strain.
