Kinesio Taping in Spruce Grove for Support and Pain Relief
Kinesio taping is a gentle, flexible way to support muscles and joints without limiting movement. At Spruce Grove Chiropractic Centre, we use high-quality kinesiology tape to reduce pain, improve circulation, and help your body heal naturally. It’s safe for children, adults, athletes, and seniors who need reliable support without stiffness or restriction.
What Is Kinesio Taping?
Kinesio tape is a thin, stretchy fabric made with a hypoallergenic, heat-activated acrylic adhesive. It’s latex-free, water-resistant, and designed to move naturally with your body, even while swimming, showering, or exercising.
The tape can be worn for 3 to 5 days, allowing extended support, pain relief, and improved mobility without interrupting your daily routine.
For best results, it should be applied to clean, dry skin. While reactions are rare, some people may experience mild irritation, so monitoring the area is important.
How Kinesio Taping Works?
Kinesio taping helps your body in multiple ways:
-
Lifts the skin to create tiny spaces between the skin and underlying tissues
-
Improves circulation, helping reduce swelling and inflammation
-
Reduces pain by influencing pain receptors and pressure on the skin
-
Supports muscle function, reducing fatigue and improving stability
-
Facilitates healing by improving fluid movement and reducing strain on injured tissues
This gentle support helps your body recover while still allowing a natural, full range of motion.
