Chiropractic Fanwood NJ Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping in Fanwood is becoming very popular.  Kinesio taping is a specialized form of taping that has been used in various chiropractic, physical therapy, medical, and orthopedic clinics for many years. Not only has kinesio taping been utilized in a variety of health care facilities, world class athletes including Lance Armstong, David Beckam, Kerri Walsh, and Serena Williams have also recognized its benefits. The primary purpose of kinesio taping is to not only provide support for joints and muscles, but also to aid in the elimination of pain and increase both lymph drainage and blood flow.  Our chiropractors at Fanwood Back Relief Center have been properly trained in the application of kinesio tape to help correct abnormal muscle function.  Through the alleviation of the stress effecting the musculature, pressure is relived from nearby nerves, blood, and lymph vessels.  As these systems begin to function properly, inflammation and pain begin to decrease, and the restoration of full range of motion is accomplished.  In contrast to traditional taping methods that are primarily utilized to reduce motion and stabilize the joint, kinesio taping is applied in such a way that doesn't cause compression of the underlying structures.

ROCKTAPE turns down the volume on pain

More specifically, it runs interference on pain. Ever whack your shin and rub it, and suddenly realize you feel better? RockTape on the skin can interfere with painful signals which are directed to the brain.

When the signals arriving to the brain are altered, it does not produce the sensation of pain. When kinesiology tape is properly applied, many of our customers call it "magic" or think that it fixed their injury instantly. In fact, it helps to change how your body interprets pain, turning down the pain "volume" that your body hears.


Decompresses an area of swelling and inflammation

When RockTape is applied to the skin, it has a microscopic lifting effect underneath the skin and between the many layers. This allows the by-products created by inflammation to be removed more quickly.


It delays fatigue

Research has shown that RockTape on skin can attenuate muscle fatigue. In rehab, this is very important, not only for the parts of your body that are currently hurting, but also for the surrounding areas as they help to pick up the slack for muscles that are currently not working well.


It normalizes muscle tone

When someone is injured, fatigued, sick, or inflamed, the symphony of muscle action that normally takes place with great accuracy often falls out of tune. This can happen all over the body. For instance, research has shown that people who sprain their ankle tend to have altered activity of their hip muscle as a result. RockTape helps bring dormant muscle back to life and help calm down the overactive muscles. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren't hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.


It distributes physical stress

Unlike conventional taping, which prevents movement - RockTape allows full movement of a taped area. Through elastic properties and quick recoil, RockTape can help distribute forces to other nearby areas through the fascia, ligaments, and even bones.


Overall Benefits of ROCKTAPE:

  • Re-educate the neuromuscular system
  • Reduce pain
  • Enhance performance
  • Prevent injury
  • Promote improved circulation and healing
