Kinesio or Rock Taping:
Kinesio Tape or Rock Tape, is a lightweight, stretchable tape that is has been shown to facilitate or inhibit muscles, decrease swelling, or provide support to a specific area of the body. The special tape is able to affect the tissues without feeling restrictive like traditional athletic tape.
With hundreds of applications for different purposes, the tape is most effective when applied appropriately by an experienced provider. Taping is recommended during rehabilitation from all types of injuries and to support different muscle groups during athletic training for children and adults. The tape is Latex-free and safe to use on most people for days at a time.
Chiropractic Care for Athletes:
Chiropractic is more and more becoming the treatment of choice for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Chiropractic care is not only for the professionals, but also for young athletes who will benefit from the non-invasive, safe and effective treatment. High-level athletes and their coaches have found that chiropractic plays a huge role in maximizing musculoskeletal performance, injury prevention, and management of injuries. Many athletes choose to get adjusted prior to their game or sporting event because they feel they are able to perform at their highest level with the confidence that their bodies are in the best working condition possible.
Interest in alternative or complimentary treatments for many things including sports injuries and injury prevention is growing at an astronomical rate. Athletes understand that their bodies are their greatest asset and want to learn how to maximize performance. Chiropractic is the perfect fit for this thought process.
